A week ago, something truly and deeply random happened to me. I was featured in an article in the local paper. I thought it was just going to be in the Sewickley Herald, but the paper copy Barb W. saved for me is from the “Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.” You can read the article here. (The best … More In the Post
Saturday, Noel and I manned up for men’s health. Or, well, mo-ed up. For the prostates! Because, as Noel put it, men shouldn’t have to go through this alone. So the traditional moustaches for mo-vember were met by our mohawks. What’s the deal? I’ll be honest, at first Movember seemed like a great excuse to … More For the Prostates!
Better late than never, welcome to November! Which is, as some powers that be have declared, Men’s Health Month. Or something. If men can spraypaint their hair pink, and football players can wear ghastly pink trainers and caps, all for the sake of curing breast cancer, then women can totally participate in supporting men’s health. … More Movember, Moustaches, and Mo…?

What is the deal: We will meet from 10-4 on Saturday, November 10th, at Old Economy Village. About half the day will be spent learning basic spinning on a … More Learn to Knit & Spin at Old Economy Village – with Yours Truly
At some point at the end of September, I found I had made a decision to actively participate in Fall. No matter what else was going on, no matter how busy I was otherwise or what I had to set aside, this year I wasn’t going to let the inset of harvest, fall beauty, and … More Fall [Is] Upon Us
Last, but not least, after an inordinate wait, comes the simplest pattern in the Liturgical Year series: an infinity scarf based quite clearly on the liturgical year calendar itself. When I was young, at one point I acquired a circular calendar of the liturgical year. It had a box, distorted to sit as part of … More Behind the Design: Ordo
For one seven-hour day of the year, this is my house. This is the view from my doorway. This is my garden. I have neighbors who make apple cider, wine, preserves, and basketry. A little fantasy all made possible by being a demonstrator for Erntefest, the fall festival at Old Economy Village. I brought three … More Erntefested
