How exciting! I feels so good to see a dream coming true. In the video I ask the following question: If you sacrifice to see a dream come true – and that dream comes true – was it really a sacrifice? I suspect the question is more interesting than the answer. I’m delighted that my dream of being a published author is coming true!
Hello Friend and WELCOME! I’m a progressive Neo-Mennonite seminary student. I wrestle in the style of Jacob, question in the style of the woman at the well (whose name we are not told) and I’m always looking around for Jesus.
As a textile artist, I weave on a rigid heddle loom in the Saori tradition – which is like jazz for yarn – completely improvisational. I love to sew, make hats, jewelry, dye yarn, and paint gloves, shoes, and bags in my colors. My goal is a complete handmade wardrobe unique to me, with a hint of the gorgeous 1920’s.
My Austrian and I lived in a tiny house from 2014 – 2018 and currently live a handmade life in a small house. It is our dream to buy land and build a beautiful community for tiny house people. I’ve written two books on living simply, the first is “Kitchen Simplicity” and the second is “The Simplicity Mindset”.
Welcome to the yarn basket and thanks for being here, I appreciate it!
