I don't know what possessed me to want to weave a basket, but here we are... A long long time ago, my dad used to say the college football players were all majoring in underwater basket weaving. When I was a small child, I did not understand what this was, but assumed (for reasons that… Continue reading A Brief Foray into Basketry

When folks ask me how long I've been embroidering, I often say, "oh a long time" or "since I was a kid" but, my Facebook memories have recently reminded me, this is not exactly true. When I was a child, I did some stitching and worked on some kits but I never actually finished any… Continue reading Musing on Progress

Its been a while since I've posted. Last year at the end of the year I was the deputy event steward for a big event that took place right before the shut down events (yet again).
