1 week ago by craftsanity My classroom is empty and I’m prepping before my students arrive. I’m thinking about everything I want to tell my beginning journalism students before sending them out with their first story assignments. I don’t want to leave out anything important. Every new day provides an opportunity to get inspired and try to inspire somebody else. How will you spend your day?
5 days ago by craftsanity I’m going to be at my daughter’s swim meet for several hours today and will be weaving a pile of samples for some modular projects that I’ve been wanting to make for years. I’m using a new set of CraftSanity Looms with tighter peg spacing that allow for single strand weaving with bulky yarn. These looms will be released as soon as I get samples made and instructions written so stay tuned. In the meantime, I’m happy to report that these looms are really fun to weave on. : ) #craftsanitylooms #looms #loom #pegloom #weaving #weavingloom #weave #weaver #fiberart #bulkyyarn

4 days ago by craftsanity This is the last harvest of the season from the apple tree in our yard. The bugs got a few, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for pesticide-free fruit. #apples #appletree #apple #homegrown #puremichigan #lovemyappletree #bittersweet #suburbanfarm #farmdreams #growyourownfood
22 hours ago by craftsanity As I pack up this CraftSanity embroidery kit, I’m thinking about my next design. I have an upcoming workshop with college students coming next month and I want to print something new to stitch. Hmm...
