The book is out!

Perhaps this proves how busy I have been. The day I had long been waiting for came and went, and I never told the news. On a day back in April I came home to find a package in my mail box. Volume 11 had arrived! I am so pleased with how it turned out. And besides my article, the others are equally interesting. I've really been enjoying reading it when I can grab a spare minute.

 


I hope you will find it interesting, too.

Happy Spring!

Washington DC has its cherry blossoms festival, Rochester, New York has its lilac festival, but my city has the Tulip Fest.

This year the city of Albany planted 137,000 tulip bulbs of every color and variety imaginable. This weekend people come together from all over to admire the flowers, eat tasty food, listen to good music and enjoy wonderful crafts. When the weather is this good, the crowds are thick:







"But what about your crafts?" you ask. I've been making slow progress on my little spinning experiment, working on several Kingdom and baronial projects, and doing a little teaching,  but mostly I've been busy at work. Hence no time to blog. But this is a day for me - so I thought I would take a few minutes and show you a few photos. I'll write about my projects very soon. In the meantime - happy mother's day to all mothers!
