My mother was born October 30th, 1937, and just died the 11th of August, 2008.
It’s been an intense time for me, helping to sort out her little trailer in Folsom, California for the past couple weeks.
One of the best, saddest, happiest, most cathartic tasks has been to go through some family photos.
And this is one of my very favorites… the spunkiness of my mom, before she married, before any of us kids came along…
Stay tuned for more photos of Mom to come…
The League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair is one of the finest, most prestigious craft events in the country today. This annual nine-day event features both traditional and contemporary fine craft work by juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.
Join me and my hand knit felt hats in Tent 6, Booth 610! And don’t miss the CraftWear Exhibit…
A special Craftsmen’s Fair Birthday Bash will be held on Thursday evening, August 7, featuring dinner and entertainment by folk and blues singer Tom Rush, and a celebratory fireworks display.

Before I ever started in the fiber arts, I was always a bit of a shutterbug.
Now, with WordPress.com’s recent release of Monotone, a chameleon photoblogging platform, I have taken the plunge and started a photo site of my own.
This spiffy platform, designed by Noel Jackson, is perfect for showcasing images, as it automatically resizes each page to fit the picture AND (after sampling the pixel colors) chooses a complimentary background color for each post.
So, if you find yourself dawdling in cyberspace, come visit and see what the world looks like from my point of view… (when I am not focused on hand knit felt hats!).
