					<description><![CDATA[The banana plant took a beating in the strong winds we had last week. I&#8217;m in a Public Safety Power Shutoff area, and it&#8217;s difficult to get anything done without electricity. I never think about it until it&#8217;s not there! Hi Friends, The Free Weavers group that I belong to had an interesting gift exchange...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Friends, Despite the record-breaking heat we&#8217;ve had lately, the cats still prefer to lounge outside on the catio rather than hang out in the air conditioned house! The pictures above are Gwyneth and Penelope looking perfectly comfortable at 100 degrees. Is it because cats were originally desert animals? I don&#8217;t know. It seems crazy...]]></description>

Hi Friends, I&#8217;m at the tail end of my house renovation, and this is the most difficult part &#8212; the kitchen. I saved it for last, because I was dreading being without a kitchen for two months. I&#8217;m two weeks into it, and...]]></description>

Hi Friends, In my last newsletter I talked about finding my artistic style, which I described as Zen minimalism with subdued colors and natural materials. And I was totally committed to it, until . . . The September issue of Vogue Magazine arrived. The September issue is...]]></description>

Hi Friends, If you haven&#8217;t yet discovered the Take Two platform for online fiber arts classes, I highly recommend it. I&#8217;m currently taking two classes there &#8212;...]]></description>

The room is big for a bathroom, and with all of the hard surfaces, it&#8217;s very echo-y. I decided to soften the sound and the look of it with art. I tried some...]]></description>

Hi Friends, I&#8217;ve been invited to show my handwoven scarves at The Ebell of Los Angeles holiday boutique in December again this year. Which means I have to get started on weaving now!
