I’m recovering from wrist/hand surgery. I spent most of last night awake trying to breathe through my blocked nose because my throat hurts. Sandy is at work from 8 a.m to 8 p.m. I’m curled up in bed with my fur children, listening to Hearts of Space, watching movies and TV on my laptop, and…

A very special Christmas – Santa came early and brought me Left Hand 2.0! I really feel good about this surgery. The last time I had surgery it was on my right wrist and I had to have a surprise cartilage graft which took a long time to heal and put me out of work…

Both were inspired by a spectacular sunrise seen from a bluff at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington, on Oct. 25, 2009, the morning I left the first Journalfest. Don’t believe the colors? Look here. Cotton warp, mostly silk weft – some handspun and hand dyed – hanging in wooden shadowboxes. Each tapestry…

Feeling poetic today. Came home for lunch and spent a little time weaving in the studio. It was so pleasant listening to the rain while I wove that I found it impossible to go back to work. So I called in sick (and it wasn’t too far off the mark, my sinuses are bugging me…
