Three weeks, 21 days into the new year and today I completed the finishing for my 2023 tapestry diary, 22 days after cutting it off on December 31. I'm having it photographed tomorrow. But I...

This post is about my ongoing tapestry diary process, something I've done each year since 2009. The idea for an ongoing daily tapestry started with one month in 2008. I've written about that...

Last week I was at Arrowmont for a workshop, the first in-person one I've taught since the mentorship program at John C. Campbell Folk School in the fall of 2020. I've had several online cla...

I was happy to spend several days recently at the Lillian E. Smith Center where I've had many residencies in the past fourteen years. I've gone to the center at least once each year and in a...

I'll see how long I can keep the resolution. Once upon a time I posted to this blog frequently. During the past three years or so I've written here less while involved with more writing else...

Well, months have passes since my last blog post at the end of 2022. Lots of things have gone on in our lives—as in yours, I'm sure. To recap, in February my husband sold his business and the...

I haven't been a frequent blogger this year. In fact, my last several years have been posting-light. I've been writing other things and not taken time to come here to my blog to keep up with...

Yes, a bit of catching up although I won't put the whole of summer in this post. Maybe I'll follow up shortly with another post or two (or more). In the last post I mentioned the break I'd...

Or, lots of things have happened since I last posted. In the last blog entry I was finishing up a tapestry of sweetshrub. I did that, took it to the frame shop and it's now ready for an ex...

A short post today with a couple of photos of the current tapestry I'm working on. This is the sweetshrub that I wrote about in the last post. I've been able to spend a few hours almo...

Is this meta or what? I want to link to a blog post that I recently wrote for Gist Yarn here . It was fun to explore the new tapestry yarn that Gist Yarn began offering last year. Havin...

I finished weaving my 2021 tapestry diary yesterday and cut it from the loom in late afternoon. It was a labor of love and I'm grateful that I was able to continue weaving on it following...

I'm amazed that 2021 is nearly done. It's been quite a year, hasn't it? COVID-19 didn't fade away as hoped but there has been hope found with the vaccinations and boosters. Daily life d...

It's been months now since I've written a post. Not because I didn't want to but because I wasn't up to it. Just like I haven't been able to weave every damn day. Sometimes things happen tha...

I've been at the Lillian E. Smith Center for the past several days for a brief retreat. A R&R for my art spirit, I guess you could say. Rest and Recharge is the way I use retreats. Maybe not...

Well, almost. The book I mentioned a few posts ago arrived in advance author's copy yesterday. The public release date has changed a bit due to potential shipping slow-downs. I'm hoping it...
Not the new normal but the next normal. That's what I've started thinking will come. At least, for me that's going to be the way I look at life after risks are as low as they're bound to be ...
