Just had a look back at all my posts from 2019 and I must say, I had a spectacular year. Wow. I really don’t know if I can reduce it all to one post. You may have to go back and read the whole year like I just did. But I will call out a few highlights.
Lots of friends (and family) visited this year. Some for a week, some just for the day.
Three fabulous road trips starting in
February -most fun road trip taken with my friend Laura to see my friend Tori in Arizona. Including meeting wonderful people in El Paso, travelling with them to Santa Fe, and riding a railroad to the Grand Canyon. Excellent Adventure!

April thru the Present– Work starts on the cottage bathroom addition and continues throughout the year.
May – Textile Guild exhibit at the NW Quilt and Fiber Art Museum in LaConner has two of my pieces, my backpack and a random weave canine I call “Sentry Dog”
June –Supernatural road trip to Prince George, British Columbia with my friend Nancy to a weaving conference. Including visit to Whistler and First Nation Cultural Center there. And trip to historic Barkerville with re-enactor friend Judy. And first trip to the magnificent Sunshine Coast.
