First, here’s a lovely blog post about an India Flint experience in Scotland. Made me quite jealous until I remembered the big adventure coming my way in less than a month: six days in a tapestry retreat on the Oregon coast! It brought back sweet memories of the workshop I took with India last summer,…

I’m calling it “98% Water” for now. The light green band at the bottom is meant to be turned back for a hem or stretched to the back if I decided to mount this on canvas stretchers. It was the color that I began with for the teal color and realized that it was entirely…

Moving forward on getting the new bathroom put in by getting contractors (and such) to give us estimates this week. Praying that the estimates will be reasonable. Praying that the whole process won’t end in the job not being finished and/or me being talked into spending my savings on something else to do with the…

Pablocito chose this very moment to bite me in the back of the head. Will ya look at the fangs on that guy? No harm done, just part of the dominance games. I was nipping him on the back of the neck earlier. But this is supposed to be a Back Forty Update, right? I…

The weather turned warm today but we still have a lot of snow around in the shade. What is my husband doing to these cats!!! We try to give Pablocito a dose of his own medicine now and then. I have to say that his constant quest for dominance is really getting on my nerves,…

This is the little valentine sachet I wove and stitched for my mother yesterday and today. Now it smells heavily of lavender in here, too much. I am surprised the scent is so strong because it came from a bunch of lavender I got 2.5 years ago from Matthews Farm Museum. I know I’ve missed…

The Back Forty this afternoon. We’re in the midst of the first full snow day of this storm. Five inches with a layer of ice first thing this morning, more snow coming down now at noon with several more inches expected. My husband is a help desk tech and is set up in the next…
