  • Blooming Again

    I’ve been absent from this space for a while now. The last time I checked in was in August and I was just preparing to weave a new batch of towels. I was just finishing them up when Hurricane Helene hit WNC at the end of September, and we have been in recovery mode ever…

  • Travels and Towels

    Here we are again almost four weeks since my last post and once again I have so much to share. I can’t believe we’re sprinting towards September already, but it has definitely been feeling a little like fall outside. We’re finally able to sleep with the windows open again now that the humidity isn’t quite…

  • Nothing to Talk About

    There are times, like now, when I go weeks without writing a blog post because I think to myself, “I haven’t done anything! What would I even write about?” And then I look around me at all of the projects in the works, and I scroll through photos on my phone, and I double-check my…

  • Adding and Subtracting

    A short drive-by post today to deliver two quick announcements, both of which I think are quite exciting! The first is that my bookmark project is finally off the loom and these are now live on Etsy! Head on over to my shop if you are interested in snagging one (or two, or three) for…

  • I Flit, I Float

    There is always a sudden change sometime in June where the weather abruptly shifts from refreshing to stifling. I am always optimistic at the beginning of summer that perhaps this year I won’t need to turn on the air conditioning, that all I need to do is open a few windows to let a cooling…

  • Without a Care

    Kyle is out of town this week visiting his sister in Oregon (hi, Sarah!), which means I am left to fend for myself and try not to become too feral while he is away. This also means that I have taken the opportunity to commandeer the dining room table and turn it into a quilting…

  • Filling the Hours

    As predicted, my chances of writing a blog post in time to let you know that my handwoven towels were available on Etsy were nonexistent. I posted my towels yesterday evening, and within two hours they had all been snatched up. I’m really happy with how these came out, and it was a lot of…

  • To Friendship

    It’s amazing how quickly the mountains fill in here when the trees start to leaf out. It was only a few weeks ago that I would look out the window and see bare trunks all around, and now everything is green, green, green! I love this time of year – it feels like every day…

  • Beginning, Middle and End

    I don’t know how spring has been acting where you live, but here in the mountains every single day has been something different. 80 degrees, 30 degrees, sun, snow… When the weather app says clear skies, it inevitably rains and when the days are sunny and perfect for gardening, the wind is strong enough to…

  • Coming Up for Air

    I can’t tell you how nice it feels to be revisiting this space after more than two months of silence. I knew the beginning of the year would be tough with work after taking on a new management position. I had to wrap up a huge project for my old role by February 20, and…
