New handwoven cotton blouse

These are handwoven from organic colorgrown cotton.  They are a simple style that is very flattering.

Wild with sunflowers

We have thousands of sunflowers greeting us as we come close to home...it makes us smile : )

Busy Week

Wow! It's been a busy week.  I've played in the garden, hanging herbs to dry, found some great new silk I can't wait to paint...

The Peaceful place to sit a minute

8/2 Mulberry Silk!!! nice for knitting or weaving

an interesting color wheel!!

I'm getting my weaving brain, hands and feet back together, spinning is not so tiring and I've begun some of my sewing projects!

New Website Up!!!

It's been an interesting journey, with the help of Susan Ottwell of  http://sottwell.com,  my website has a new look.  It isn't totally functional yet and I need to add some pages and shopping cart, but it is up!  Feel free to take a look and definitely give some constructive criticism where you see the need.  We'll have menu buttons soon!   http://chamomileconnection.com/

For Those Interested

I want to apologize for not posting and sharing lately. I fell hiking in Vasquez Rocks, CA earlier this month and have been sort of out of commission with a broken wrist.  I'll be working on my website and try to get the new format up soon!

Sewing with Handwovens

The Sewing with Handwovens with Carry Wilcox was a great experience.  I'll post some photos soon.  I thought Carry did a great job getting everyone to have a finished project and the group was totally cohesive.  We made a lovely jacket with a handwoven front panel, and some people used all handwoven fabric in the jacket, some used commercial fabric.  I'm ready to do another one!

Spring

I'm sorry not to have posted for so long.  First my computer died and I'm learning a new one...without a card reader to post pictures.  Second we went on a trip to visit our daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.  I stopped along the way at the Fiber Event in Greencastle and had a lovely time there as a vendor.  So the latest is our garden.  Being at such a high altitude and in the mountains our climate is not conducive to gardening, as well as the dogs and our newest puppy who think the garden beds are for digging.  So, for mother's day I had lovely help from husband Will and son Jeremy, fencing and getting the greenhouse together.  I thought I'd share the progress.

You can see our greenhouse is without ends as yet. We have a raised bed with plastic for warmth nearer to the house

The coldframe next to the greenhouse, which will house the tomatoes soon, has squash ready to plant!

I added some color with calla lilies this spring

We find pottery shards on the property. These were found in the garden area
