I have been thinking about inspiration a lot lately. It all started with reading yet another post about another artist being inspired by nature. {{{Groan}}}} I know that there are a lot of art...
Years ago, there was a blog meme called the Friday 5. I loved that meme not just because it was a blog content no brainer, but because those five little questions, be they trivial or deep, were just ...
There are a lot of tips on taking great photos on the internet. Most of what I have seen are by ESTY sellers and crafters that have shot a lot of product. And while I agree with most of their informa...
I am such a yarn geek. And chances are if you are reading this and are not my Mom, then you are too. And while Bruce is quite supportive of my addiction yarn business, he just does not get as excited...
This time last month marked the end of a 9 month long crunch. And after cranking for 10 shows I was feeling pretty crunchy. I settled in for a few weeks of introspection and New Year resolution makin...
Well, crap. I did it again. I totally spaced on my NaBloPoMo challenge, and neglected to blog yesterday. And just like in September, I did so ON THE SECOND DAY of the challenge!!! Clearly I am having...
Hidden in the two large trunks by my living room sofa, is my neglected fabric stash. Most of it vinatage, a gift from a friend as I moved to Asheville. I decided to bust it out a few weeks ago and at...
Is it any surprise I am completely deadline driven? I guess 20+ years in advertising will do that to you. So, after an awesome month filled with blogging daily (okay not quite daily, I spaced on two ...

I think it was Spring 1988. I was sitting in the university counselor’s office, looking over my course credits, double checking to see that I had not forgotten anything that would keep me from ...
Well Crap. I skipped another day in my NaBloPoMo challenge. I totally boneheadedly forgot to blog yesterday. Technically I did not make it to day 2 of the month. I kind of let my self off the hook wi...
I was never a big fan of oatmeal. I grew up with the Quaker Instant variety pack in the tiny packages. Powdery with small lumps of “flavor”, stripped of anything resembling nutrition or f...
Something I am working on for SAFF…
It is no surprise that I will never get rich selling yarn and fiber. I am really okay with it. The trade off of being able to immerse myself in something that I love after years in a business that ma...
I have my first cold in 3 years and I feel like crap. No witty content. Awesome post tomorrow about a customer who made my day.

The Trinity Stitch Jacket in Mirasol Akapana in the 1303 cacao. Truth be told, I had delusions of clearing my wicker chest of knitting projects in my weekend WIP buster. But alas it only yielded one ...
One sweater done!! Just needs some serious blocking. Worked in one piece sleeve to sleeve this piece grew as I got to the end. Either I was way more relaxed while knitting the second half of the swea...
Not A Drop Stole in UrbanGypZ Econo Sock in Kiss The Sky Okay, I am posting this with a little trepidation. This morning the mercury hit a low of 52degrees, and I reached to my top shelf for a sweate...
