For those of you who are longtime followers, my sweet travel companion, 19 yrs old, passed away yesterday. Kitty has been a fixture, always with me when I braid, and a traveler to festivals. She was a smart, loving cat, who will be missed by many, mostly me.

This seat/footrest is for the same close friend who commissioned the big rug a while back. I used the same center hooked pillow as the rug. Feels good to have most of my studio organized to the point where I can create in here.

This small drawer dresser was a marketplace find, with silver/copper/gold metallic painted drawer fronts and dated drawer pulls. Painting the fronts to teal was fairly easy, but not having the ability to sand off the old finish made me farm out the project. So happy with the result. It holds many sewing and braiding supplies! On top, 2 Gardenway spinner utensil racks, holding more supplies. đź’ś

In 2018, 8 years ago, I sold my first fedora. Since then I have improved my technique: I turned the braid around on the hat bands, plus I switched from plaiting to braiding on rugs. This pic was taken at CNY Fiber, in Bouckville.

I bought the base tuffet seat in Rochester, from Marketplace, on my way to here in Herkimer. I asked the seller for a measurement, grabbed materials to braid it out here in the booth. Finished today! It came out rather pretty!

Happy Pride! In honor of the 2019 Reboot inclusive Pride Flag, I have braided its colors into this extra sturdy bar-height stool with built-in footrest metal bar. There is light pink in this piece as well, as a nod to history with persecuting governments marking g**s in pink. Too heavy to ship at a reasonable price so I won’t be listing it on Etsy. You can buy it at tomorrow or Sunday, or direct message me to arrange a pick up.
