My daughter, Hazel, came home from college for a brief stay this summer before returning to move into an apartment in Lawrence. I wrote here earlier that she worked in the shop while I was recently away. What I didn’t write is that she was also hard at work planning and making a fiber sculpture [...]

Still need to get some facials, but for now here are a few more pics of Batty and Hazel… this time Batty has gained a little more personality.

Some of you have heard about Hazel’s bat project. It’s been a tough one to photograph so I couldn’t post pictures until there was a little more to post. I think I have a few now that begin to show the progression. It’s going to be a while before she’s finished- school has started and [...]

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written here- or at least since I’ve published here. I usually write on this blog on my weekends at home- but our internet access has been limited for the past 3 weeks. “Someone” in our house used up about a month’s worth of allowed bandwidth in [...]

Sadly, our memorial weekend took a turn for the worse when my beloved Mirlo was nowhere to be found Saturday morning. Many tears later, I have to accept that he’s probably not coming home. This is painful to write, but so many of you have asked about him over these past 9 months that it [...]

I’ve been a bit remiss in posting pictures, so here are a few just for fun. The first is of Gale with the entrelac poncho she designed recently. She’ll be starting a knit-a-long here at Wildflower soon… And the last is of Katie holding John’s (from previous pic) sweater- finished! Maybe we can get a [...]

In January we made another trip back to Illinois and I started the blanket anew, but this time I planned the heart a little more carefully. I’d also had more time to think about the design beyond the borders that I only knew would have diagonals running through them with a K, U, and a [...]
