Recently I was asked to join a very interesting group…Kingston Fibre Artists. This is a small group of women who gather to work on and promote their wonderful work with textiles, fibre, dyes, needles, beads….etc. I have always attended their group shows (about two per year) and been asked if I am a member….now I…
Last year on our way down South we got stuck in horrible traffic on our way though Hagerstown MD so we deeked off the highway and found ourselves on 15 Southbound towards Gettysburg. What a find…the countryside was beautiful, even in the rain, and we drove past a corner junction in the hamlet of Lucketts…
Once again on our way down to the Outer Banks for that first hit of wind surfing for my other half and some early SUPing for me (stand up paddle boarding) we have to stop at yarn shops. My dear knitting buddy and friend Rose is now living in State College PA so she took…

Though I’m nowhere near a knitting machine, wool or anywhere that needs wool at the moment my mind is still working on design. Christmas lights still ’round the studio door! Wandering around the island of St Martin/St Maarten in the Caribbean I’m bombarded by colour and it’s wonderful…especially during a Winter of white on white…

I found a few things I want to make for myself, some neat instruction…
What to do…what to do! I’ve had an Etsy shop for years now and it’s done OK..and not OK but it’s a great way to have a shop attached to my web site and have it seen around the world. I know I’m competing in large market but rather that than not at all My…
Winter and I’m working through my custom orders. I didn’t to a Christmas or ‘Holiday’ show as I have done over so many of the past 32 years so I have’t a lot of pending work. That could be good, no one likes to have no work, but it gives me more space, makes me…
It’s that time of year…to review your life, what you are doing and how you are doing it. I’ve been updating some web sites that I’ve built (check out the list at my other business http://twohatssimplesites.com/clients.html site) and some still need a lot of updating….including mine! Anyway – Wow! I got an email this morning…
Well, it’s that time of year for artists, artisans and craftspeople…time to send out those applications, forms and cheques to sign up for this year’s shows. I wrote a post last year on my return to the Beach neighbourhood in Toronto, my old stomping grounds, to celebrate their 20th anniversary. http://theartofwool.blogspot.ca/2014/05/may-flowers-art-tours.html. Thinking about the upcoming…
