Day 3: Leave, Weave, Discard or Donate

By Pamela Penney | Jul 7, 2022

Day 3 of “LEAVE, WEAVE, DISCARD or DONATE”, my at home artist’s residency: ○ Despite it being hot and very humid I persevered and got my pipe loom assembled out on the deck! Detail shot shows the tensioning device and bungee cord stabilizer. I had all the parts I needed for this except for the…

Day 2 of “LEAVE, WEAVE, DISCARD or DONATE”, my at home artist’s residency: ○ I cleared my work table of everything but the items for this project (see yesterday’s “before” photo) Prepped the large pipe loom, marking inch increments for the top and bottom bar. ○ Took 2 bags and an ironing board to donation…

Day One: Leave, Weave, Discard or Donate

By Pamela Penney | Jul 5, 2022

Today is Day One of my self-proclaimed “at home artist’s residency”.  I have always wanted to apply for a residency, dreaming of a period of time and a place devoted to creative exploration.  A process or a project come to fruition, inspired by the surroundings and the development of a project proposal and theme.  But,…

Proposal: At Home Artist Residency 2022

By Pamela Penney | Jul 5, 2022

Statement: I am so overwhelmed this summer by the issues facing our world that I’m uncertain where to begin. But, the process of creation is literally “the beginning” so, it is where I must start. Creation through weaving and yarn spinning is my therapy and process for clearing trauma held in my heart/body.  For my…

March Madness (mine!)

By Pamela Penney | Mar 18, 2022

My husband shares with me his insights into current sporting events, even though I’m sure after 40ish years together he knows I only feign a bit of interest.  This does however open dialogue and conversation on something he is passionate about.  From what he has shared, I guess this year the college basketball tournament is…

Celebrating Imbolc 2022

By Pamela Penney | Feb 2, 2022

Here we are at Imbolc already!  I’ve been working with my sisters on a new adventure that started at last Mabon.  We have been creating online celebrations of the Pagan holidays and sharing our gifts of Tarot, Meditation, Witch-crafting and having so much fun!  It has been a great way for us to connect across…

Spring Into Action!

By Pamela Penney | Apr 19, 2021

I sit here listening as the weather forecaster on the news this evening warns us of one more bit of snow coming this week. Ugh. Part of me wants to crawl back under the covers for a few days. But another part of me has been loving the tulips, daffodils, and magnolia who have already…

Bleeding Hearts for Justice

By Pamela Penney | Feb 13, 2021

As a Valentine’s Gift to you I am thrilled to publish this free pattern for my Bleeding Hearts Lace Collar. Yes, I offer this for no monetary expense, but I do request one simple act.  As you use this pattern I request that you practice a heart centeredness.  As you enjoy the relaxation of knitting…

A Stitch In Time Saves : The Original Stitch

By Pamela Penney | Sep 5, 2019

Nearing the age of five I was witness to what at that age seemed to be miraculous.  Month by month my mother’s belly grew larger until it was explained to me that she was “growing a baby” in there.  I would sit next to her and feel the moving of lumps and bumps within her…
