I absolutely love our Minnesota Public Radio that we have here in the State, it’s the best by far of any other public radio stations I’ve listened to in any other state!
My favorite section of MPR is the Classical station, although MPR also has a Contemporary station for the younger crowd and the News station for those that want to be constantly on top of the daily happenings and events.
However, I am not a fan of opera and that’s what’s been playing for the last few minutes this Saturday afternoon as I’m weaving more antler baskets for the galleries, and writing my blog, of course!
I’m trying desperately to acquire the taste for opera, as I am a singer myself, and feel that in order to broaden my horizons, should like all types of music. At least, that’s what I’ve been telling myself all my life.
I really do appreciate the dedication to the art the singers have and all the time and effort it’s taken them to attain their level of expertise. Maybe if I understood the Italian language it was sung in, that might help matters, however I still don’t care for the music even when it’s sung in English!
But “it’s off with your head” for today, OPERA! I’m changing the radio station right away! Maybe I can find some jazz or Celtic music or something else like that to keep my spirits up and keep me in the mood for weaving lots of antler baskets today.
How about you? What kind of music do you prefer to listed to as you work or weave?
Keep weavin’ the threads of life! Cathryn

FYI: The logo on WickerWoman.com is clickable! So if you want to go back to the Homepage quickly, just go up to the logo at the top of each age and CLICK! Presto, you’ve been taken back to the Homepage!
Here on the homepage (as well as most pages on the site) is where you can select from all the navigation tabs on the left side to find all the interesting topics, articles, resource links, etc.
Only four pages on the site have the navigation at the top instead of the left side. But take heart, there’s also a Site Map tab there at the top, too. And as you all know, the Site Map lists each page of my website! Enjoy!
According to what I’ve been reading and hearing lately, spring is supposed to be just around the corner. But up here in Northern Minnesota, you’d never guess that was true! This morning, the temperature was -15 degrees for Pete’s sake!
For example, if you were to scroll down to the bottom of my blog here, you would see the WeatherUnderground banner that tells the time and temperature up here in Angora, MN, and at 9:30 a.m it is reading -9 degrees.
The temperature reading is taken at the small airport about a mile due east of our place, which is also on the same topographical level as ours, kinda on the low side. So the reading taken there is always colder than the one taken in the next “biggest” town of Cook, 5-10 miles to the north.
The sun is out shinning brightly, fooling us into thinking it’s a nice, warm day and spring really is “just around the corner.” But is that really the case?”, I ask you.
I just added another page here on WickerWoman.com called, “Chair Caning.”
And as the name implies, the page deals with a little bit of history, the material itself and the application of and use of cane in chair seat weaving.
Check out the “Chair Caning” hotlink over there in the left side navigation under the “Helpful Resources” heading when you are surfing through the site pages.
FYI, the left side navigation bar is not on the pages listed below:
All those pages have a menu at the top of the page for your convince.
If you ever get lost, you can always go to the Site Map tab where all pages are listed and click on the one you want. Or you can always click on the logo at the top of every page to be taken back to the Homepage.
