We are finally coming out of the deep freeze
Insane to believe that 4° actually feels warm…
but after what seemed like forever in the teens to twenties below zero with wind-chills making it feel like -30° to -50°…it does!
Saturday is our 2nd Saturday Open Studio Group day and it should be a balmy 30°...
Things are getting back to normal around here…
…Back to the school routine after an extended winter break due to the cold…can’t believe my babe will be graduating in June!
…and for me…the studio is stacked with piles of linen & wool…drawing patterns and sorting wool for washing and dyeing…getting the Part One kits of Primitive Medallions ready to mail out!
Best get busy...need to have a clear table for the hookers & stitchers...

A gray and windy day here today…
Predictions that everything will be glistening white with snow by tonite…
Strangely, at this moment…I am content with the thought of winter.
This year more than ever I feel the need to respect the rhythms of nature…
And it is giving me a sense of peace in an all too chaotic time…
A heartfelt thank you, to all of you have sent well wishes for my Mom. These are bittersweet times.
We’ve been working on getting some home care services set for Mom & Dad…and that eases my mind a bit.
It has truly a been a balancing act for me…all the craziness of my son’s senior year…my parents…my business…and now the holidays?!?!
In the midst...I’ve finally decided on a design for the 2014 LJFibers Rug Project…
Primitive Medallions will be approximately 22" x 34"...it will be a 3 or 4 part project...
linen pattern and 1st wool kit will ship in January 2014!
Inspired by a 19th century rug entitled “Medallions”…
worn and muted tones…flowers and critters…
I’ve come up with a primitive rendition…here is a small peek…
I absolutely love how this is hooking up and will share more with you soon!
My goal is to have all the details for kits worked out and posted on the website in the next few weeks.
I know many of you would like to include the Annual Rug Project on your list to Santa…
