For the 3rd year, the League of New Hampsire Craftsmen will host an Open Studio Tour at artists’ studios across the state this Veteran’s Day Weekend.

From 10 am to 5 pm, Friday through Sunday, you can get a glimpse into the minds and creative processes of over 60 juried craftsmen around New Hampshire.

And, to help kick off the festivities, several Upper Valley craftsmen will come together at Matt Brown’s printmaking studio for a wine and cheese reception 5 – 7 pm Friday, at 23 Washburn Hill Road, in Lyme, NH.

Join me and Matt, along with metalsmith, Lynn Adams, wood-turner, Dustin Coates, and fellow fiber artist, Sara Goodman, for fellowship and fine craft, along with tasty treats for all.

Hat-Hat-Hooray for Dartmouth Women’s Hockey!

I’ve never been much of a fan of spectator sports.  I don’t watch television, and I don’t really follow any major league teams.

And then, 4 years ago,  we moved to the Upper Valley of New Hampshire.  Since I could not (at the time) play hockey myself, we decided to take in a game at the local Thompson Arena, home of Dartmouth Women’s Hockey.

We were hooked!  Soon, my sweetie & I found ourselves eagerly awaiting home games, and felt our spirits rise and fall with the fate of our team.  Since Dartmouth’s program is one of the best in the country, we have enjoyed some top-notch hockey at Thompson Arena.

Last week was no exception… even my mom, who isn’t much of a sports fan either, found herself clapping and cheering for our winning women, who are undefeated so far this year.

So, if you  have never been to a Dartmouth Women’s Hockey game, do yourself a favor and get over to Thompson Arena on November 23, when our ladies take on St. Lawrence.  Puck drops at 7 pm. 

See you there… I’ll be the one in the felt hat, knitting up a frenzy, just above the blue line.  Go Big Green!

(Well, that was sure fun!) And the Winner is…
