glorious VeniceFlorenceFlorence's  Ponte VecchioFlorenceI find myself going back to my pictures of Italy to immerse myself in the memories of warmth and sunshine, that so permeated our trip there.  As more snow falls outside, I can always return to these, to help me through what is becoming a rather long and seemingly endless  winter.  Dreaming [...]

After having the misfortune to miss the last 2 or 3 weavers gatherings, due to family mayhem that kept falling on the 2nd Monday, I was doubly excited  to attend last mondays gathering at Joannes house.  Despite the winter storm warnings and unplowed highways a fairly large group of us found our way to Joannes [...]

I must say that, her weaving space is very inspiring, surrounded by windows overlooking the apple orchards and winter shrouded gardens that [...]
