TWISTED IN TEXAS: September 2010

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Labels: Country Dijon mustard. Saturday, September 18, 2010. Super Warm Dye Days: Part 1. Wonder what the neighbors think? This is what it looked like about six last night. I think I will use less water next time for more more uneven-ness. I haven't checked it this morning. Main color is Jacquard "Violet". The sidebars are ProChem "Key Lime" and "Apricot". I think this one is going to be great fun to knit. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. This thing blows my mind. It syncs up...

TWISTED IN TEXAS: February 2011

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 28, 2011. Out of the Box. Disclaimer: this is a totally fiber geek post. Just a warning.). Yes, Pluckyfluff workshop this weekend put my brain on "explode" with new ideas, techniques, and color possibilities. Lexi Boerger came to town to inspire eighteen or so of us for two full days at The Shabby Sheep shop in Uptown. The batt below sits on my studio work table asking me to spin it into a core spun piece. I just have to get up my nerve for that humbling experience again. Who doesn't lov...

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 16, 2012. So many projects: Cardigans, Scarves. Originally written October sometime, 2011. I have been AWOL for months sidelined with pesky health issues.). I left Michigan with a sheaf of patterns in my "project ideas" folder. Here it is all finished). I have the Cynthia Too Sampler scarf queued with some Fleece Artist soft stuff. Can't wait for that. Here is the shop sample. I'm basically copying it, 'cause I love the pink. Not enough hours in the day! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

TWISTED IN TEXAS: Dyein' in the Woods

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2011/06/dyein-in-woods.html

Sunday, June 26, 2011. Dyein' in the Woods. New Michigan fiber friend, Meta, invited me up to her studio at her home in the woods near Carp Lake. What an adventure! I loved it. These coiled rovings were just artfully placed about. Meta is super organized and precise. Her color book has all her dye formulas with fiber swatches. Makes my seat-of-pants method look beyond sloppy. I only occasionally mix my own colors. I just buy more dyes. Her colors are all custom mixed, lovely and subtle. After we got my f...

TWISTED IN TEXAS: December 2010

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 23, 2010. This is Charley's go-to "going out" outfit this fall. He loves his boots, all three pair. He gravitates to this totally hip shirt every party. Can't wait to see the pics of them all decked out and charming the room. What, me prejudiced? Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Today I get to take a break and go spin with my friends. Oh, and deliver a few buckets. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. First Day of Winter: 78 degrees here but. Meanwhile, a friend sent me this shot of my condo in Ha...

TWISTED IN TEXAS: March 2011

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 4, 2011. As if Facebook, Ravelry, and even my Google Reader, don't suck up time, now on-line bargains hit my inbox every day with super deals. Who else is hooked on Groupon, Living Social, Haute Look, Rue La La, Zulily and Gilt Groupe? Those are some of the coupons. Some things you have to buy quickly as they sell out. Snagged my mighty little Cusinart electric handmixer as soon as the sale opened. It sold out within an hour. Whew. I, of course, desperately needed it. Speaking of grandkids,...

TWISTED IN TEXAS: July 2011

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 10, 2011. Up North Floral Abundance. Part of the summer glory up in Northern Michigan includes amazing, bright flowers. The grand porch above wraps around a rambling manse on Beach Drive. There are about nine of these boxes adorning it. Ok, this is not a box, but a garden that I gravitate toward every year. Great perennials mixed with annuals to enjoy all summer. In Harbor Springs, one of the galleries has these geraniums with all the trailing white blossoms. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Thursday n...

TWISTED IN TEXAS: Harbor Skies

http://twistedintexas-cordovasstudios.blogspot.com/2011/07/harbor-skies.html

Sunday, July 3, 2011. Thursday night Harbor Springs hosted a Gallery Walk that included ten or twelve art galleries serving up great art, blown glass and sculpture. But, to me the great art was upstaged by the cloud patterns that night accented by the quaint architecture of Main Street. How can you not love the festive evening with a stage set such as this? Oh, and did I mention it was a perfectly delightful 75 degrees as we strolled with streets with our glasses of Chardonnay? Shop at Cordova Studios.
