Latests Works

began a blog about 6 months ago and as my life so usually goes, I never had time to work on it. It is my promise to my self that I will be updating about once a week. (I HOPE) These last few weeks have been a great challenge as we have lost 2 family members in close succession. My step mother Bonnie past after her year long struggle with cancer and my grandfather past last Friday. I was traveling in New York state at the time and a 4 day trip turned into a 2 week whirlwind with fiber and funerals. The first of which a pleasure and the second, well you know! I went to visit 2 new and dear friends Bob and Patrick of Winderwood farms in Naples NewYork. I bought my first spinning wheel from them in August and am now the proud owner of 2 wheels and a drum carder. (Can you say obsessed). The four days I spent with them was a great learning experience in dying fibers, techniques and constant conversation. I think the most profound thing I learned was what a dizz was, and what the heck is that silly thing for. My new carded batts are now beautiful rovings that are a joy to spin.
