It seems like just yesterday that  I was celebrating New Years Eve in LA with friends...ringing in 2001. We spent that evening watching Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey just for kicks. Somehow a quarter century has flashed by and here we are in mid February 2026. Having endured almost two entire dark winters on the east coast after thirty years on the west coast, I have to say, its not for the faint of heart. This year so far has been brutally cold...far beyond what I ever recalled in years past. The sense that Spring is impending has me...

Returning home is something I always imagined I'd do. I just didn't know when.

Like all of you, I endured the pandemic that befell planet earth in 2020. Weaving took a backseat to caring for my father from across America. Sadly, my biggest cheerleader passed away in early 2021. My partner and I spent the next three years living btwn Los Angeles, NYC and Long Island NY. I spent too much time away from the studio. My hands itched to get back onto the loom. I found myself distracted. In constant movement, but not really getting anyplace.

And as 2024...

Hey Los Angeles!

So...lately we're completely obsessed with the pillow making process. Sewing is the skill I struggle with the most, but seeing my pillow vision come to life has been incredibly gratifying. I honestly haven't used a sewing machine with any regularity since HS. Didn't know if I could still do it. Thanks to my neighbor Stephanie who showed me the basics (again) I am back on track. 

I love to weave. We know this. The challenge of assembling a pillow that is not only beautiful but also functional has had me on my toes. Its had me cursing at my sewing...
