Cool Cats

With the heat we've had in Boston these last few weeks, the cats have been holding up rather well. Better than I, that's for sure. Miss Lulu has taken to napping behind my Matchless Spinning Wheel. It seems that she's found a nice and breezy spot since the wheel does kick up a bit of [...]

Thank you!

A big thank you for all the comments and feedback to yesterday's post. Some of the comments made me really think, others made me laugh, and other gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. While I was looking for a floral "thank you" photo for you, I came across this photo of a bee hovering [...]

What Does it Mean: “More Gay”?

Recently, I asked a friend to look at my new website here at David Taylar Daniels. After perusing the whole site, he said he was a little disappointed. "How so," I inquired. "It needs to be gayer…more…gay…more you." I've been pondering this for a while now. I'm at a loss. Should it have more sparkles? [...]

There hasn't been much going on here lately, just some basic spinning. I'm just finishing up this autumn-toned trilogy of superwash merino wool. It's been taking quite a while because there was SO much hand dyed fiber to work with. Who knew it was going to take me a couple of months to spin up a [...]

The weather here in the Northeast has been unbearable for the last couple of weeks. I’m not a big fan of air conditioning, either. I don’t like that closed in feeling. Besides, this is what living here is all about: seasons. (But, believe me, you will NEVER hear me complain about the weather in the [...]

A Trip Over the River

Dave Daniels — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:05:36 +0000

Interesting things I’ve seen around Boston and Cambridge… An elderly gentleman from a foreign country, on the wrong side of the subway station, decided to cross the tracks to go to the other side. (I’m sure there’s a silly joke in here somewhere along the lines of why did the chicken cross the road…) Of [...]

Amethyst + Peridot Necklace

Sometimes, you just want to make a little something pretty that doesn’t involve a lot of time, tools or materials. When it’s hot, it’s nice to sit in front of a fan, grab a cold beverage, and just relax with some beads. Last week, I got over to Bead + Fiber and picked up a [...]
