Hi folks. I’m headed out for a run, but first I want to give you all a heads up about a book giveaway…

2 days ago by craftsanity I love weaving tiny. : ) It’s a great way to do quick color studies that can double as wearable art. I like weaving big, too. I may have hit a massive sale today and loaded up on some soft and fabulous yarn to warp up my large rug and blanket looms. I’ve made a lot of looms in my day, but weaving will always be my favorite part: ) #weave #weaving #smallart #wearableloom #mini #miniweaving #weaversofinstagram #tinyloom #fiberart #weaver #CraftSanity #showprep #craftsanitylooms #tinyart #handwoven #weavingnerd #michiganfiberfestival #handmadeinmichigan

Sanding is for the birds, but I’m absolutely delighted by nature. : ) #cottonfromseed #cotton #cottonplant #cottonbloom #redwhiteorganiccotton #bloom #garden #farmdreams #cottonflower
9 hours ago by craftsanity I’m setting up my booth at the Michigan Fiber Festival in a couple days. In the meantime there are looms all over my house. I’m going to get real here for a second. I’m really tired of literally living with my business and will be deciding soon what’s next. Do I ramp up and get a proper studio, maybe with a couple inspiring and kind kindred spirits? Or, do I wind down and try something new? My loom business is growing (A special thanks to my kind and supportive customers!) and that’s awesome, but my first priority is reclaiming my
