RED AND GREEN MULTI-USE HANDWOVEN TOWELS AVAILABLE FOR CHRISTMAS 2008! CLICK THE PHOTO LINK BELOW FOR MY HANDWOVEN TOWELS.

I learned to weave and spin about 25 years ago at a knitting shop that offered weaving and spinning lessons. Over time, I came to love spinning and weaving more and more while selling my work at a few local shows. In 2002, I decided to leave my position as an employee to follow my dream of becoming a full-time fiber artisan doing work that I love. I continue to sell my work at fairs, festivals and from my website.

In 1998, I learned to make soap at a class held at "Tom's of Maine" and discovered another "hobby" that I enjoy almost as much as I love my fiber work. As a result, I now offer my homemade soaps, lip balms, body oils/creams and soy candles for sale.

All of the work for the items that I sell is done solely by me, from start to finish.

The name "Crunchy Granola" was used most often by customers and friends in reference to my work. To me, it is a compliment as it implies work done by hand, homemade, natural, quality. In 2006, I changed the entire name of my business to

" Crunchy Granola "
Handwoven & Handspun

My mottos:
