We interrupt this craft blog to let those of you reading who are in Bozeman know that Paul (my s.o.) will be back in Montana next week. He’s exhibiting his full collection of Main Street Drawings at the Story Mansion. In case you aren’t familiar with the project– basically, Paul decided that he was going [...]

I’m still here. I’ve been back in Bozeman since Wednesday and caught a terrible cold as a parting gift from Tejas. It was to be expected, in fact I’m surprised I haven’t gotten sick sooner, but I really haven’t been sick in the hacking/wheezing way since I left New York. At least, not that I [...]

This morning I made poppyseed muffins, from the box (keepin’ it real!). They were yummy and I enjoyed them quietly while catching up on blogs. I am wearing a dress for no reason except that I wore one last night and it was nice. I’m not going anywhere today (chained to the desk!) but what [...]

This afternoon I was, yet again, lucky enough to tag along with the art grads to another artist’s studio. This was actually a joint visit, as Richard Notkin and Phoebe Toland are married and share studio space in Helena, Montana; we got to meet them both. I’ve been excited to (hopefully) meet Richard ever since I [...]

Okay, here’s one more post for the week, before too many things escape from my memory. I’ll be back after Turkey day to show you my holiday cards and maybe even some craft fair setup. Enjoy your holiday!
Last Friday I got to tag along with the grad students on a field trip to Amsterdam, Montana (!) to see [...]

I admit it: for the longest time, I thought that I would crochet everything. Knitting didn’t appeal to me: all of that swatching, counting, making sure things fit. But when I saw some beginner knitting classes at the local yarn shop, I decided it was time. After all, they were only $15/class. I knit this [...]

Hope everyone is having a great day- it’s absolutely lovely weather here in Bozeman. Fall has started and the leaves are changing- I need to get my camera out before it’s too late.
I got up at 7 this morning to start my! new! job! and the light was lovely. It’s a part time job with [...]

Tomorrow is moving day, and we’ve been running around like crazy packing things, sweeping up dust, and deciding if throwing away a 2″ square decorative box will save me space in the truck, in the long run. I’m pretty much set at this point, everything is cancelled and in order. 
I wanted to share these two [...]

Today I’m going back to some photos I took over 2 years ago, of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s public art project, The Gates. At the time, I was just leaving my job at Newsweek, which was right by the park (which made for some lovely lunches!). I went out every day and took photos, and on weekends [...]
