Yesterday’s protest rally was a family affair: husband Sandy, sister Lisa, me, brother-in-law Tim. My favorite sign was the Black Mirror sign, although I like that the sign on the left covers most of the bases: I also delivered my book to Artspace where the Triangle Book Arts exhibition will be installed. Opening reception is…

There is one thing that is true in the South about snowstorms. You can tell who is a Northern transplant by the state of their driveway and sidewalks. Southerners wait for the snow to melt. Northerners shovel. Once the snow stopped, we got about eight inches here in my town, and a foot an hour…

A little progress. At least all the plastic bags are gone and the coned yarn is with the other cones. Will bring back a couple more boxes of fabric stash today from the other studio. That’s the main thing I have hoarded, and to think that I’ve already given so much away boggles my mind.…

The gray area was a rainy Thursday. On Friday, a stormfront moved through, bringing more intense cold on its winds. On Saturday and Sunday, I moved boxes, purged, and shelved in the home studio. I feel good about the organizing I’ve done in this studio so far. Trying not to do so much that I…

I’m finding myself walking around the house talking to myself and Pablocito (he does talk back, at least) so I guess it’s time to write a blog post. The overriding theme of the tapestry diary will be weather. It’s obvious to me now. It can be external or internal weather, but climate and weather has…

Just a catch-up post. I’ll have more time to write this coming weekend. Nutty weather. High of 71 today, then predicted high of 35 on Sunday. Walked a different way to work a couple of days ago and saw this gorgeous bush. Once I got to work, this hawk flew by and settled low enough…

I meant to do this yesterday, but I slept so late that I was shocked to look at the clock when I finally opened my eyes. Let’s just say that there was not much morning left. It’s too bad that we all can’t sleep when our body needs it. There’s something wrong with this system.…

More context helped – we had a light dusting of snow last night It accentuated all the cracks on my walk to work I should probably replace this sidewalk but I kind of like the cracks.

Whoa, it is cold as hell on the east coast with no end in sight yet. Fortunately we are west of where the “bomb cyclone” is hitting today and tomorrow. Don’t you just love the names for these weather events? “Polar vortex” is my favorite. I hope that it doesn’t kill many animals. My heart…
