Phew, it is good to be home. The animals are happy to have me home. I am happy. The Man - released from his Critter Sitter duties - is out fishing and as you can imagine very happy.
The Conference of Northern California Handweavers (CNCH) was a jam-packed, intense 4-day experience. A gathering of 27 Guilds: textile and fiber enthusiasts, Weavers, Dyers, Basket makers, and Spinners. The two-and-a-half-day workshops were interspersed with many Guild activities. Phew.
Ready to go:
Karen's "Katie" table loom, folding table, bench seat, folding wagon, my stuff, and our suitcases managed to fit in her Prius:

This month I was the lucky winner of this extra-beautiful, extra-special handmade book.
An actual woven sample, textile, or fiber art item graces each page in the book.
Getting ready to go to my first Conference of Northern California Handweavers (CNCH), I am taking a Spinning Workshop.
The Man helped me prep the Lendrum by putting on a new Drive Band and Footman Connectors (requires a Robertson #1 Screwdriver and his handiness).

Into the Whirled March 2025 Club colorway, "Reckless Disco", Exmoor Horn.
I just started spinning, "Woe's Hollow", February's fiber.
I have been trying to get a group pic of the Band-tailed pigeons. They are so skittish especially when they are on the ground. I finally managed (on two different days) to get a few pics looking down at them from the upstairs window.
