Two chances to check out our rugs and a few fabric items, as well! we will be at Roti Roti art center in Buchanan on Saturday, and then at Brandywine High School on the 7th. of course, there will be lots of other wonderful vendors at these, so buy local and give handcrafted gifts this year!

The world is more stressful than ever. Life is frightening.

Good news and bad news, bad news first. We don’t have answers to the fears ane and stresses you’re going through. But …

We are opening up The Weaver’s Nest to anyone in the local area who needs a respite from life for a few hours. We will not charge for weaving time, or even materials, for as long as we can pay insurance and other expenses.

That means you, if you’d like to check out rug weaving. No cost. we might even have soda or tea!

How can we do this? No rent, some very generous donors who have provided a lovely stash of fabric, and a “what the heck, why not?” Hope for the future.

Life is sucky right now. Perhaps we can help each other out.

************

Note that we are not abandoning our mission to help differently abled adults. We are just reaching out to those who could use a friendly community.

If we can help you adapt to this new world order, contact us.
After, we’re part of the community!

Bittersweet day. My last farmers market day for this year. I’ll miss my regulars and the people who show up unexpectedly, each adding to the symphony that is my life!

Just finished cutting up 17 pairs of jeans for rugs! It took two full days.

Many thanks to Rob, who donated the jeans. I’m excited to see these woven into rugs!

So happy to see Dustin, a guest weaver, stop by this morning at the market! I think I get more out of these new friendships than my weavers do!

I’m at the farmers market in Buchanan right now, feeling sore and tired and a little bit sorry for myself. But then two crochet vendors (competitors) start talking and sharing ideas and patterns. This is not unusual. They are always supportive of each other.

Needless to say, I can no longer feel poorly. Their positivity and sense of community makes me realize once more how much I love the people here. And how I need to work on my own attitude.

Thank you, friends, for being such an inspiration!
