Telling and Sharing

Telling and Sharing: "Who are you? Do tell, says Rachel, of Lovely Clusters and Lovely Clusters' Blog, then come and join us on the Lovely Bloggers List.

Because I really like Rachel, her site and her blog; plus participate happily in both; this is one List I'd like to make so.....

Here goes:


I am one half of a couple spending our retirement years farming and crafting. There was a time when we were young and lived in cities from San Antonio to Anchorage.

Now we are on an upNorth farm (in Minnesota, USA) full time to till and tend; AND oh yes, to make art and to craft.

Frank enjoys his farm equipment, managing crops, cattle, watching deer, and making maple syrup. Frank designs and creates stone necklaces, earrings; and weaves kumihimo cords.

I help out some with the animals and garden but spend lots of time sewing and felt making.

My joy is to create beautiful, wearable hats and accessories that let a person’s spirit sing.

Wearing a hat makes me comfortable and lifts my spirits; one goal is to share that comfort and joy with others.

My Inspirations: Past, present, future - the land, sky and water around me, people, animals, plants... Things I’ve read, things I’ve seen. Looking at and feeling fibers and fabrics, vintage patterns. These all roil and boil together ruminating in my mind until an urge to make something specific comes to the fore. And if energy comes with it a hat or other creation comes into being.

Sometimes even mustaches. :D

Jane
