When in doubt: Make Stuff. Stay Home. Draw.
Dress Locally. Hand Wash.
Learn to Darn.

Dress Locally. Hand Wash.
Learn to Darn.

The ideal project
takes over my life
and requires
a season or two
to complete.
Or a year.
Or Three.

It demands time
but not money.

Or new clothes.

Sometimes it is new clothes.

The thing worth pursuing
is not a thing at all,

in color

texture

image.

It is a moment
captured in cloth,

a pile of possibility

a tiny miracle.
This work infiltrates my dreams


It builds my biceps.

It thrills me to the bone.

It drives me to tears.

When I was seven
I turned scraps of yarn
into a magic carpet.

I'm still at it.
Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom!
