---Shop News--- Buy a Haiku ~ Get TWO!



Makers can be a little obsessive.  That is how so much gets done!  But, sometimes, maybe, a maker goes off the charts a bit.  I sort of over estimated how "popular" Haiku would be on Etsy.  Personally, I adore Haiku.  As far as I am concerned, it is the quintessential form of poetry.   I love the rhythm of the 5 - 7 - 5 syllables.  I will clap them when I am creating a Haiku.  The structure is like weaving but the subtle meaning is like the heather of handspun hand dyed wool.  Well, anyways, that is what inspired me to make so many! 

I have been running a buy one get on free until they expire or are sold out.  I have 12 left in my shop right now.  If you want to get some before they are gone I will GIVE you 2 extra Weavette Haikus when you buy ONE for only $8.00!  Just mention BLOG in the note to the seller at checkout.  You will get 3 Weavette Haikus for the Price of ONE!  Each will be different.  



These sweet little hangings are handwoven on a weavette loom with my handspun yarn. A traditional Japanese Haiku is digitally printed on to vintage cotton and sewn to the woven piece with a 1957 vintage sewing machine.

Rambles with Rumi

I started this blog....then I became super busy.  It didn't help that it was superb weather all week.  Things have settled a bit.  So thought I would get a post in on this rainy afternoon before Sandy hits and we possibly lose power.  One of the things that kept me away from the computer was a nice special order that is now on its way to a shop in San Diego!!!!
It was an order for 3 dozen of my Love Notes that I sell on Etsy.  Well it ended up being 5 dozen.  This is because I have 30 quotes to a page...the order needed 36...I could have printed another page...but started looking at Rumi quotes...so made another page of 30...so needed to weave 2 dozen more for my shop....one of the quotes is..."Let us Fall in love again and scatter gold dust all over the world" Rumi...so this quote inspired me to spin up some new yarn with gold lame' plied into it....my creative process is like a run on sentence at times.  If you want to see more of my quote obsession check out this link....Rumi for the are holidays coming soon!

But this is not enough of an excuse for neglecting this blog.  The weather was amazing this week.  It was that Indian Summer that makes you wish you hadn't put the hammock away for the winter.  The air had just a hint of chill and with a scent of spice.  I just had to take time to wander in the woods.  Here are some images from the week......                          
"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do" Rumi

"What you seek is seeking you"  Rumi
