I suspect that I will weave more today or at least warp a loom, but I want to go ahead and post. One of the questions that tapestry weavers (and probably all weavers) often get asked is “How long did/does it take you to do that?” Most of us don’t like that question, because most…

I went to Asheville with my sister this past weekend to the Tapestry Weavers South get-together at the Folk Art Center exhibition of “Follow the Thread.” She drove from Lake Waccamaw, we had lunch at Sushi Republic, then she drove us to Asheville. That’s a lot of driving in one day! That evening we had…

I drove up there on Saturday morning, stayed in a hotel, and left on Sunday afternoon after a very relaxing, fun time. ^Beverly Walker’s work in…

Here’s Diego looking all sexy for you. I missed writing my weekly blog post last weekend, but we did get a lot of things done. Our focus was on cleaning the front porch and everything on it. I never knew that window screens could get so dirty. It is mostly done, and the cobwebs are…

While Portugal and other places in the world burns, we have a sweet reprieve from the oppressive heat since a cold front with rain came through last night. Diego and I are sitting on the front porch. The rain is pattering and gurgling, wind is wafting, a cardinal is chirping, and a train horn is…

The paragraph and list below it showed up in my Facebook memories from exactly five years ago. Good to know that some things haven’t changed. In the interest of self care, I’ve thought a lot about what I truly enjoying doing the most as opposed to what I think I should enjoy the most. Here…
