Entanglement

Josh’s stepmom mailed me a box of gorgeous yarn with a request to make her a piece of art. I decided to weave a piece and add embellishments. During her and Josh’s dad visit we took them along the pedestrian bridge over the Umatilla River. I remember looking down at the river and soaking in the moment. This piece is […]

Find Your Way

Find Your Way is my one of my latest art pieces. I completed it early spring 2023. Find Your Way is named after a Rising Appalachia song. The yarn used consists of handspun yarn that I spun over a 14 year period. It represents my journey of finding myself after rebooting my life in 2012. Find Your Way now resides […]

Hula Hoop Loom

Years ago, I had a small table loom that I used to dip my toes into the weaving world. It was fun but I was in college so just didn’t have the time to explore it deeply. In December I started a new art project. This hula hoop had been sitting in the back of my craft closet for months. […]

On the way over, Josh and I had a short layover in Singapore so we just hung out in the airport and enjoyed the stellar food options. Then […]
