Scramble, people

one of my weavings made with Pendelton Blanket strips
I came upon a wonderful web site/store for fiber freaks like myself.  Phat Fiber makes up a box each month from samples vendors send them for marketing purposes and for just general notice about their product.  I was mesmerized by the shear quantities of such great wools, [...]

Looking at Wyeth’s House

I grew up in Pennsylvania – near the area of Chadds Ford and the Brandywine Art Museum. Well, there was no museum when I was growing up – just Wyeth art. I was intrigued by his paintings because he painted the area – the local landscapes of fields and hills. He sparked my imagination in [...]

Blogging – what the heck…
