This year I spent Thanksgiving weaving on my tapestry at home and Sandy and I ate dinner with the Martin/Baker family, a bunch of hooligans beyond compare, just my kind of people. Great cooks too. Here is what was on Susanne’s loom.

It’s slow going, mainly because my life and house is messy right now, but I only have about three inches left to weave on “98% Water.” My new-to-me Shannock tapestry loom is still sealed in the shipping box, because I don’t have a place to put it with our belongings scattered about in boxes. Most…

Almost there. Maybe by the end of September? I had forgotten about my community garden plot. It was bursting with flowers and the red amaranth had gone to seed. The green cotton is still struggling (planted too closely) but blooming. Maybe I’ll get some bolls this year if it doesn’t turn cold suddenly. Lots of…

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,…

My progress as of three days ago. I have to find the battery charger for my camera. It is in the new place that I decided would be the logical place that I would look for it the last time I lost and found it. Maybe I need a hypnotist. Work began on the new…
