Wonder why this tug is headed north on the Potomac this morning. Hope to see it heading south. “We need artists who are afraid of something other than their own failure…” per Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen Buddhist priest, in today’s NYT. What are you afraid of?

Author, illustrator of "The Yarn Animal Book", probably the only craft book with instructions for making such unique yarn animals as an orangutan, an ant eater, a llama and a star-nosed mole and "The Single Minded Prince, a fairy tale for all ages about a boy and a pirate captain who both misbehave. The books and a booklet series based on each different yarn craft topic covered in "The Yarn Animal Book" (pompoms and other really easy yarn crafts, knitting, crocheting, rya, needlepoint and embroidery), are available on Amazon and Kindle.
