Thistles

It has been on and off raining all day. Mostly off, except of course for the times that I needed to be outside. Of course, then it rained. I will not bore you with errands. Or runs to BART. Or … Continue reading

In every fiber craft that I can think of, there are always left over bits. In weaving it was thrums – those left over warp ends. In sewing and quilting there are scraps. In knitting/crocheting – I am not sure … Continue reading

Goodbye 2022
and no Yellow Brick Road in sight. In fact, unfortunately, the rain has stopped. Why do I want more rain when it has been pouring for the last few days? It isn’t like I really want to disrupt more people’s … Continue reading
