About Me
Book Geek
George Saunders said it best. “Reading is a form of prayer, a guided meditation that briefly makes us believe we’re someone else, disrupting the delusion that we’re permanent and at the center of the universe.”
(Read Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders! A totally unexpected tale, loved it!)
Gardener
I feel a profound symbiosis with my garden. It serves me as a source of nutrition for my body and for my aesthetic enjoyment. It is my therapy, my friend, my solace.

Architecture Enthusiast
Music is liquid architecture; Architecture is frozen music” is a dictum (or two dicta) often attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It’s my enjoyment of fine lines that adds to my enjoyment of weaving.
Bad Buddhist
So maybe there is no room for a snarkist in buddhism. It may well be regarded as “wrong” speech. Let me say I do practice most aspects of the path, but I thoroughly enjoy irony and sarcasm, and weaving it into communication. (I’m also not above using ‘very colorful language’ on occasion.)
Creating Beauty Since 2017
Having been a knitter from an early age, I was always fascinated with the textures and flexibility that weaving brought and finally decided to take the plunge. I acquired my first loom from from my local yarn store in 2017. It has become one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.
I find weaving to be meditative, an act of reflection and creativity, it is a distillation of a contemplation and intent. Possibilities take form to create a whole with creativity and perseverance. Sometimes the pieces seem to be anthropomorphic, having a life of their own by making themselves. Anyway, these are the stories I tell myself while in my craft.
Treat Yourself.
My creations are the perfect gift for yourself, a loved one, or a friend. The loving care put into every creation can be felt with just one touch.
