I was supposed to introduce this on this morning’s video, but my focus was elsewhere. After much persuading, I finally started a Patreon account.
You can find me under:
For those of you new to Patreon, Patreon is a way of supporting artists, artisans, authors, creators, researchers, etc.. by making a monthly gift.
Today’s video includes: New glasses, my “shopping” experience, a look at antique straw motifs.
Today’s video contains making hats stands and what boxes I like for home.
We’ve come to a full week of social isolation here in NY and across the country. I hope everyone is well. This morning’s video is mostly chatting with a look at the pinballs from yesterday. I may add another video later. Please share your pinballs so we can see them. Give me ideas on what you would like to see below in the comments, some Q&A too.

Show’n Tell Video

About a week ago, I decided I would do a video series to keep connected to my community during the evolving virus situation. I told myself I would do a video a day during the isolation period. Initially, I envisioned this as the time I would be home while school was closed. But, this morning with so many friends and followers already practicing social distancing, working from home, and in areas where schools are closed, I decided to start the video series.
These videos are meant as a way to stay connected. I plan to talk about history and fiber art related topics. There will likely be some show’n’tell. I would like ideas about what you would like me to talk about. I could do a Q&A session if you like. Please add comments below about what you would like to hear.
I am also deciding where I would like to place these videos. I am currently thinking my old Anna’s Updates blog would be best so people can choose to go see them there. The link is over on the right or at the bottom depending on what device you are on. I added a subscribe button to that. (the rest of the posts are older.)
If I can get my phone to upload quickly, I am going to aim for 10-15 minute videos.
Here is today’s:
