Today I finally made it into the studio for the first time in a while to properly craft and not just grab something or print off a file. I’m still not quite used to this “I have a studio” thing. It does function most as my husband’s office, but my… Read More »A Satisfying Day at MY Fiber Studio
We have begun packing up our belongings to send them back to the United States. Most things are going into boxes to ship home, carefully cataloged both so that we can fill in the Customs Forms for shipping, and so that we know what is where.

It doesn’t have a traditional back-middle-foreground to work towards, and working from the edges seemed a good way to start blocking out color… Read More »I guess it’s a good carpet
