It's a good day for a new scarf! This is another piece from my simple scarf series. You can find it at my #etsyshop. I've had so much fun playing around with my rigid heddle this year!! 😆 Even in quarantine there isn't enough time to make everything I want! @jrosetextilearts #shoplocaltn #cookevilleart #tncraftplateau #fiberart #weaversofinstagram #buyhandmadenashville #uppercumberlandart #handmadefashion (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg8nOHBOlg/?igshid=1qvwrzueei5sp

A tad out of season, but blankets are fun year round. Finished this commission yesterday! I loved working on this piece. A friend's grandmother passed before her blanket was finished, so I got to help carry her love to the next generation 😊 #artislove #shoplocaltn #cookevilleart #tncraftplateau #fiberart #supportartists (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDO58nZh58O/?igshid=1oqa9oyev7949

😍😆 These arrived today!! It's amazing how much of an effect someone's art can have on my life. Comics have introduced me to so many wonders and one of my favorites is @tessfowler7. I want my home to look like one of her characters lives in it. So far, that's going pretty well thanks to @tncraftplateau and @artroundtennessee. 💚💙❤ #supportartists (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6GWPPhQ_P/?igshid=emifnwhuod9p

And I will continue to do so for the next seventy years. #govote @jcrtny (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3_kdgBqJg/?igshid=got8aw90ueo7

New release!! This scarf was just added to my #etsyshop. I love what weft twinning did to the color scheme. Can't wait to try more colors!! 😍 Link in bio @jrosetextilearts #shoplocaltn #tncraftplateau #cookevilleart #manicknits #weaversofinstagram #fiberart #localfashion #madewithlove #commissionsopen (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvt2PKhXg9/?igshid=1yk3vi5ort9i

So... I don't have a choice to stay home to fight covid. I'm an 'essential' worker. I'm poor. I live in a system that kills the poor. When schools reopen, I'll be there. I'll be endangering children, coworkers, and myself because I don't have a choice. Multimillionaires have a choice, and they don't care that we're dying. @govbilllee @putnam_mayor_randy_porter #cookevillemayorrickyshelton (at Cookeville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CColAAcHjfy/?igshid=1hwvx2z9sklf4

Cookeville Arts Council sent me a relief check!! 😆 It won't be used for anything fancy, just rent. So here's a few things I do when housed. 1. Absorbing the wonders of the world 2. Designing wearable art 3. Probably a crime 4. New socks! #cookevilleartscouncil @artroundtennessee #covidrelief #localsupport https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqQS_WhJDP/?igshid=qhjl72wxn8ry
