We are makers, deep soul shakers, heart breakers,
a guiding light for anyone looking for a little bit more in life.

When an idea hits, run with it. You never know if you’ll get the chance again.

A new friend for Everson, since using three lazy kates was a bit much. Here is a 12 cone holder for direct warping on my Newcomb Studio Art Rug Loom.
.
I’m in love...

. Conversation with a 55 year old Newcomb Art Stud

.
Conversation with a 55 year old Newcomb Art Studio Loom, named Everson:
.
Me: There you go, Everson, all warped and ready to weave.
.
Everson: Ahhhh, that feels right. It feels like home.
.
Me: I’m glad you think so. What a ride.
.
Everson: An unforgettable one too...riding in the back of the truck, flying down I-5 with the wind blowing through my heddles and you singing at the top of your lungs to every song that came on the radio.
.
Me: Well, I was full of happy endorphins that night bringing you home as it was the start of the very scary pandemic and I was breaking a stay-at-home order. You were worth the 300 mile round trip and me being a renegade.
.
Everson: It’s going to be a wonderful friendship, Sherrill.
.
Me: I think so too, Everson, I think so too.

#victorygarden2020 was looking so great and then I decided to give my plants a nutritional boost and over fed them a few days ago.
.
Four of five tomatoes that were gorgeous now look on the brink of giving up on any harvest. 😔
.
Yet strawberries are looking perfect.

The start of another woven rug.
.
I really need to warp Everson (Newcomb Studio Art Loom) to make this a tad bit quicker.
.
About 10 hours to make a 24”x36” wool rug.
.
It could be all the shaking, bipping and bopping (what one might call dancing) I’m doing while standing to weave at my studio work table.

A big thank you to @wool.and for the challenge. This dress had a funeral curse attached to it as three family members passed away within three months of buying it. My heart was broken for the family loss but I was determined to change how I felt about this dress.
.
I want to thank all of you who have supported me during the dress challenge and the daily posts. I tried to make them meaningful and spent time thinking about the message I was conveying. Especially during these dark times of the pandemic, civil unrest and making sure everyone is heard and there is equity for all.
.
I already knew the great properties of wool, being a spinner of wool and my main artistic focus in life.
.
From this challenge I will receive a dress credit, which makes me happy as well as knowing I was some pretty good advertisement for the dress as many of you that follow me purchased your own dress, for it being versatile and a classic staple that will last for years to come.
.
Stay tuned for a video I’ve been making during the challenge.
.
The last day of the dress challenge finds me wearing my #wooland dress and bright blue Converse.

Stay home, stay safe and wear wool!

What???
.
How is this possible?
.
With a lot of thought, a bit of trial and error as I work out the details and faith.
.
#campspin15in20 will look a bit different this year, taking campfire gatherings to a Zoom platform and an all-day campfire meetup on Saturday, August 1, 2020, for campers to pop in and out of during the Sheep to Sweater competition.
.
Packs will be available at the end of June.
.
Stay tuned.
.
Edit: think itty bitty for the sweater!
