Happy Halloween!!!

Tonight I will be baking pumpkin cake for our Berkeley SnB potluck tomorrow. We don’t get to many trick-or-treaters so I get to eat all the cheap candy myself!

Color: A Fiber Festival

About two weeks ago I went to a little fiber festival in Berkeley. The festival is aptly named Color and this was the second one this year. At this point it is a very small festival, about 5 vendors, about 6 small classes and an area for folks to bring their wheels, spindles, knitting, etc. [...]

Calendar Girl

So it is that time of year again, you know when all the bookstores put up the displays of calendars for the coming year, shrink wrapped puppies, vintage cars, pin-ups, old barns, witches, there is something for everyone no matter what your hobby, fetish, or fluffy animal of choice is. And I must admit I [...]

Be Excellent to Each Other Swap

When I first got on to Ravelry one of the first things I did was to check out the groups, much to my dismay there was no group for tea lovers, so of course I started one. Now the group is HUGE and many wonderful moderators help to answer questions, run swaps, and keep the [...]

Lacey Lovelies

A doily from high school that I did. It always reminds me of the stories my friend Libby told about the crazy annoying peacocks that live up in the hills around her grandmother’s house. I also hear that they taste great with a red wine sauce.

We have known it was coming for a while now. She had been dealing with lung cancer over the last [...]

Down at the Pond

These photos are of a piece of raw silk noil that I printed for a screen printing class back in college. As a square envelop bag it is not that great but I have plans to rip out the sewing and re-work the fabric either as a separate work or into something else, not sure [...]

Flower Child

Lately it seems like every other person I know just had or is going to have a baby, which is great for me because I get to cuddle and baby talk with them and then give them back when dipers need changing. It also mean little dresses, shirts, and for me BRIGHT colors (luckily my [...]

Miscellany

Well, I had thought I would be able to post about my progress on a few projects but the photos for those did not seem to make it onto the jump drive so instead I have photos of some old projects that I have been meaning to gets pictures taken of. Enjoy.
