I had two visitors the other day. Both are weavers. I didn't realize until they got here that I knew one of the women...well, sort of. I hadn't met her, but I had sold her some yarn a few years ago. Later my friends and I had driven about an hour to see a show in which her piece was entered only to find that the gallery was closed that day. (No problem because with these friends I could probably have a good time even waiting for a dentist appointment.) What does this have to do with anything? Lea brought the piece that had been entered in the show so that I could see it up close. This is an over-sized clothing tag woven that Lea wove.

Lea can explain her mission much better than I can. Here is a link to a presentation she made a few months ago.    It's worth the 16 minutes of watching. This is only one of Lea's fascinating ideas. I have just spent the last hour on her website looking at all of her creative and unusual projects and items for sale. Take a special look at the Worlds Smallest Post Office!

Lea's friend, Robin, was the person who made the appointment to visit. She is exploring ideas for combining fiber farming with weaving and creating a business and that is why she wanted to talk with me. So I spent a lot of time talking about what I do. I wish that I hadn't talked so much but had spent more time listening to these two fascinating women. Maybe they'll visit again!
