Toddler still-life with potatoes
That’s the morning we are having. Not much is getting done except pulling out the vacuum multiple times and repeatedly picking potatoes up off the ground. Does she even realize it’s Halloween–have the spirits possessed her? I did manage to clear out another section of our office/studio space so my ironing board [...]

So, I went to an informational meeting about the public art project. My proposal, which will be submitted in the next week, will detail a fiber art piece involving an enormous amount of time wet-felting wool roving by hand.

Mogs and I have begun to make art together. She has only recently taken an interest in playing with her pens, crayons and paints; whereas she had previously enjoyed chewing on the implements until her mouth was brightly colored.

Mogs and I took a morning trip to our local cider mill yesterday. It was an amazingly sunny, fall day– just right for the debut of her new “riding hood.” I made this hat for her last weekend from fabric that I had around the house. The exterior is from a “fat quarter” sample from our local [...]

This is my first foray into the world of blogging. I have recently begun to follow a few blogs by fellow mother-craftpersons. (Once I figure out how to add links I will do so) I have enjoyed reading how these women balance their creative lives with the demands of motherhood. It has proved to be [...]
