Louis XIV


I've had to periodically get my leg iced and elevated, so I can't weave for long periods at a time. I'm getting some weaving done, and still making some Victorian Christmas ornaments. I think it's obvious why I've nicknamed this one Louis XIV.

Check out my new blogsite to see more. Or visit my website to see them all, and to make a purchase, if you'd like.

Lavender Cashmere Silk Scarves


I managed to get these four scarves woven of a 50-50 cashmere silk blend before I had surgery. I do love this fiber, despite the fact that it's a bit of a bear to beam.

Check my new blogsite for more details on these scarves.

Hand Painted Yarn


This is the latest hand painted yarn I purchased from Yarntopia Treasures. I managed to wind it all into balls while keeping my leg elevated. The collection is so beautiful, I had to share it with you.

Visit my new blogsite for more info on this and other posts.

Victorian Christmas Ornaments


While I've been laid up, I've been making my hand-beaded Victorian Christmas ornaments. This is my last one, and the fanciest of the batch of 8 I made in the last week.

See all of them at my new blogsite.

The Mummy Rests

Brraaahahaha!

How do you spell that evil laugh that vampires, mummies, and other creatures from Friday Night Fright Night of old emitted?

I don't know that, but I do know that my leg looks rather like a mummy. Find out why at my new blog.

Asheville Beauty


My wonderful kids took me for a mini vacation to Asheville, NC. We did see some beautiful sights and eat some great food, but the best part of the whole trip was spending 4 days with them.

See more of the sights and get more of the story at my new blogsite.
