A bit of baring the soul

In less than 3 weeks I am going to Nancy Crow's Barn to study with Dorothy Caldwell in her Human Marks Workshop. I can't tell you how excited I am about this. On the way home from Ohio, I am stopping in Toronto to visit Kit Lang, a long time blogging friend. What a thrill! I will also engage in some urban sketching.

Over the last little while I have started to ponder stopping my blog. I went from 3 days a week to 2. I thought moving from surface design in fiber to human marks might possibly lose the blog many readers. I was right.

This last giveaway brought back many of my long time blog readers. It was heartening to see so many familiar names. In the next few weeks, I am going to post some great fabric dyeing experiments  I have made some of the most beautiful fabric ever and I am so excited to show it to you.

I have decided to keep my blog going, do more surface design work and more tutorials. I hope to see many of you long time blog readers and maybe some new ones as well.
