Again??

I did not have a blog this time last year. This exact time last year the power was off, the house was cold and the sound of trees exploding and cracking and falling was everywhere. We were in the middle of a terrible ice storm and it is set to happen again possibly. At least we are going to experience some really nasty weather. Here are a few shots from last year.... There is beauty in all of this. We just have to find our place in it.

Holiday Art Sale

It was fun. Amazing the comments you get when folks don't know you do this...Here are some pictures. Now back to the loom, my joy for me.

What Is In A Name?

Here it is. So much anticipation as I wove it. I put it away for almost a month before I began the tucking and sewing and finishing. It wasn't as perfect as I would have wanted and almost everything is that way with me. I can't figure out what to call it. I like to name my work. it is usually with me when I am weaving, the name that is...I better get out my word book.

It Has Been So Long

I have forgotten how to post. here are my newest for the Block Street ArtSale this weekend at Shirkey''s Goodfolk House in Fayetteville, AR.

It's About this Corn...

What in the world

would I be writing about corn let alone posting pictures of corn? Well this corn is pretty cool. It has inspirational qualities for a color palette for a new rug.

Here's a few of the shots of corn...

Sometimes it is just so right...

You walk outside and you just realize that it is all out of your hands.  That nature is so majestic and unreliable that you just have to go with it and revel in it's beauty.

And another day has begun...

Back At It Again

Things just really don't ever quite turn out the way you try to plan them to.  Take these pictures for instance..the shot with the Buddha is right in front of my office here in the "woods" and the iris is a confused iris that is blooming right here right now in October.  It is hardy and strong and smells divine.

This is the rug that has been on my loom almost too long now.  I have/had big ideas for it and I love the colors, but it is time to get ready for the December Art Sale Show and get the looper rugs back in gear.  This rug does not want me to finish and get on with it.  It keeps changing character, as do a lot of things in my life it seems.  Going with the flow is the hardest thing sometimes. I like to be ready and not too surprised by life theses days, but the tides keep on coming in  and I keep trying to ebb and flow with the rise and fall.
