It’s been a while. I haven’t felt the blog mojo, but have been diverting my photos and tiny tbits of info to Facebook. However, I am missing the blog, so I’m ready to get back in the groove. So here it is in pictures.
What happened to February, or more importantly, in February? I found out that Birkeland Bros. was closing. It wasn’t a shock. I think Cara had been carrying the burden of the shop for a while. I’ve enjoyed teaching there. As a matter of fact, I never considered teaching until Cara asked me to and well [...]
It’s unusual for me to go so long without a post. It’s also over the top for me to have 3 huge shows almost back to back. All done. It feels great to say that. Of course there are still a few loose ends to tie up. Just a few more orders to knit —and [...]
John and I tore down Circle Craft on Sunday night. What can I say…The show was awesome, amazing even. By far the best show I have ever had. I’ve got to be honest with you. I was nervous. The show basically doubled the number of vendors in the fibre category this year and there are [...]

We had pit stops in Revelstoke, Golden and Banff and enjoyed them thoroughly. The Festival was physically rigorous with long work days, moquitos that were the size of small cars and a [...]
Things that went wrong: Phone ran out of juice, therefore could not call myself to find it. Showed up a day later under a pile of unfinished hats. Lost lid for water bottle I bought last year for Filberg to replace the water bottle that I lost. Loved that bottle. Items shipped took many hours [...]
The face of the studio is forever evolving and changing. Joan, gone for most of the summer to shows and to enjoy the short return of her daughter is now moving in new equipment. The last of Sonia’s fibre and her wheel left yesterday and I’m not sure what to do with the blank wall [...]
