It is with great joy that I announce the launch of Dyeing 101: Controlling Color, my very first e-course! I have spent the last few years connecting with people online, all while growing my little business, honing my craft, and making art. It now seems an obvious extension, to combine all these loves and develop…
Long term blog readers will remember that I spent a day at the First Presbyterian Church of San Bernardino last spring. They received a grant that allows them to bring in an artist for a day to help the parishioners create something to use in their worship. They have a tall sanctuary and a vision of 20 yard swaths of…
Believe it or not, my hubby gets crazy ideas too! About this time last year he and I installed wood floors in my friend Liz’s house and then we ripped up some nasty old carpet and installed bamboo in two rooms in our house. This year, I’m taking it easy on him Because his “honey…

I’m getting some amazing comments on my “Kicking Down Doors” post from yesterday! My story is part of Scoutie Girl Tara’s newest project, a free e-zine filled with “door kicking” stories: You should definitely download it (click on the picture for a link to it), it’s filled with awesome stories.

I got something really awesome in my email in-box Monday afternoon, and it was a total surprise: A final proof of an article I wrote about my studio, to be published in the Summer issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors Studios. I had submitted a couple of pix and a quick description to them last Fall,…
