My name is Bobbie Kolehouse and I am a professional writer and health education specialist who is self medicating jangled nerves with fiber arts. Though I’ve crocheted a long time and dabbled in knitting, I’ve recently become enchanted with the variety of textures of today’s natural fibers. They are fiberlicious.
My vintage farm home is in a semi-wild place in rural Wisconsin at the edge of woods and prairies beyond them. My muse is my pack ‘o inspirational Cocker Spaniels and they show up everywhere–work, hobby and fill my life. In between fiber creations and regional health campaigns, I’m working on a series of children’s books based on my Cockers’ adventures. The heroine is my mischievous, curious and too brave little black and white puppy, Christina M. who finds a willing helper in her jolly Aunt Audra.
Hey, Bobbie! I check you out on the Web every so often. It is wonderful to see how creative you have been. No time for creativity here, but my friend Leigh (Frozen Tundra Fiber Arts) shares your love for natural fibers and knitting, and keeps me in pretty socks! She even uses our Suffolk fleece and has sold it around the country. God’s blessings on your endeavors!
