A Market Year

This weekend I am trying something new: I am venturing into unknown territory.

Summer 2022

As I sit in my backyard, it is 10:30 pm and the air is cool. Cooler than in the house. We don’t have AC and I am grateful for that but the outside air is feeling good after a hot day in the garden.

Getting Organized

Inspired by all this organisation I have been purging my house and Piccola studio to give a lot away and thin down my collection of too many things.

Summer Camps

After deciding to teach children and adults my fiber arts knowledge and tricks I am happy to say that the response has been amazing. Thank you all for trusting me to pass on these skills to your children.

Money, money, money

Mostly I would like my art to be a gift. No money involved. I can say the same with my teachings.

Technology Versus Art

You guessed right: I prefer to be outside making art or even inside in the evenings knitting, crocheting, weaving, sewing,…

Spring Classes Kick Off

We had so much fun! I was excited to teach a fiber arts technique that I love: wet felting. And I got to teach it outside, in my backyard.

Commissions and Requests

It was fun to try and I am finding that I am very abstract in my creations of flowers. I am ok with that. I am also excited to try again maybe and see what else comes up when I think of flowers and butterflies. Stay tuned!

Friends & More

When I met Brian - 23 years ago this Summer - he was roommates with Arvo. So I have known Arvo for about one week less than I have known my husband. Pretty much the same time!

New Year, New Fun!

I am so excited to teach in 2022, I am slowly realizing that it might take me a few months - hopefully not a year - to fine tune my teaching calendar.
