My Etsy Shop:

My Blog:
http://thepeacefulpeacock.wordpress.com
I Make:
mostly a mess...along with the occasional bits of patchwork, applique, wool paintings, hand dyed fabrics, handwoven fabric, crochet goodies, felt, clothing, and now knitted stuff. I've been known to dabble in clay, beadwork, upholstery, jewelry, and fingerpaint as well.
More About Me:
I have had the good fortune of growing up as a third generation seamstress / fiber artist, though it took the birth of my son to finally give wings to my new path. I live in beautiful Bozeman, Montana with my soul mate, our son (and another wee one on the way!), our toothless cat, and two slightly neurotic little yellow birdies that we rescued from lives of neglect and loneliness.

I love to learn new skills and find the greatest peace from breathing in nature, creating, traveling, and seeing live music.
What's your sign?

choose visual artist, fashion, or arts and entertainment. if you do the visual artist, you can go on and on and on. I think I set up four before I finally got the one I liked. ha!

Okay, so I attempted to create a facebook fan page this morning, but got frustrated and deleted it. My first hang-up: choosing the appropriate category in the very first step. I found a tutorial, and it recommended Etsy users select "Local" and th...

feel free to use the "workshop" discussion venue for help with your policies! I used it for my artist's bio and it helped immensely. :)

Power vs. Force

There are a lot of times that I feel like I'm missing the boat.

I have flashes of inspiration, set my sites on moving toward the visions that erupt and bubble, but sadly look around to see that my thoughts are taking shape in the work of others. In trends and upward movements of style, not like they stole my notebooks. It's frustrating. I feel the mojo slipping through my fingertips, as it has many times in the past, and there is an empty, deflated shell where the electricity of my muse once he… Continue

the magic moment

just checking in--hope everyone is doing well!! we're down to our last four weeks of market season so I've been pretty slammed around here.

last weekend at the market, I had the mystical moment when it all comes together. montana is a pretty rural state--there are less than a million people here and there are only a couple of pockets of "hipsters" in this vast and beautiful land. bozeman is a college town, so we have a lot of transplants, a lot of free thinkers, and a lot of artists. there's al… Continue

summertime slam

Our Montana summers are short ones. After it finally quits raining (somewhere around the first week of July) and all signs of potential snowstorms finally pass, we have a blissful three weeks or so when it is absolutely perfect here. Then it gets really hot and the forest fires start up. This year will hopefully be pretty mild since we've had to much rain and snow and usually it's not *horrible* unless the wind is blowing all the smoke into the valley.

But the big skies, glorious mountain range… Continue

all signs point to yes...

I had this amazing dream about my grandmother the other night. She passed away a little over 10 years ago and though I feel her presence often I never dream about her. She came into my room and sat by me, made a phone call and suddenly the room was filled with women that she knew. We were all huddled around a laptop computer and it was like she was saying, "Ok--go!! We're here to watch over you!!"

It was incredible. And it left me with a peaceful feeling of ease and lightness that lingered all… Continue

Sometimes you're the tornado, Sometimes you're the trailer park...

Hope I didn't scare ya'll with that post yesterday--thanks for the lovin' emails sent my way. ;) The "crash and burn" effect isn't a new thing for any of us--it's a reality of entrepreneurship. Pleasant? No. Insightful? Yes.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the way that we approach work as a society--about the differences in work ethic among different nations, about the philosophies of making a living in different cultures around the globe and throughout time. I've also come to some realiz… Continue
