Hello!

Here’s my small contribution to the weaving world.
I’ve been very fortunate to finally learn how to weave and join a larger weaving community. It’s been a lifelong goal of mine and finally made possible because of a special place called Loom With A View.

Betsy Martin opened up her weaving haven in Newburyport, MA a little over two years ago and it was an answer to a prayer.

I learned to weave from Margaret Russell, a teacher at LWAV. Margaret is such a fabulous instructor and has such great insights. For example “there’s nothing that can’t be fixed” and “enjoy every step of the weaving process”.

The great part of discovering Loom With A View was discovering all the other amazing weavers in the area. In less than a year’s time, we had formed a vibrant weaving guild,  NOBO Handweavers  (www.nobohandweavers.com).
There’s so much talent in this group but it’s the character of our members that impresses me the most. Funny, kind and generous are just a few of the traits that come to mind.

I’m looking forward to sharing my weaving adventures along with my other adventures. I’m always finding fun and interesting things it seems!

Here’s a perfect example;

I discovered this while taking a hike on some trails one day.
Lady Slipper’s are my favorite woodland flower but I never expected to find this carved rock in the woods. It  was quite old and had carvings on all four sides. It would appear to be from the 1700′s.
Very cool…
