About Me
- Name: 'Zann
- Location: Terre Haute, Indiana, United States
Professor's widow, mother of four, zannma to two. Grew up in Coral Gables, Florida, transplanted to Indiana at age 40, where I saw my first snow and learned to love wool. We homeschooled three of the kids, I helped to create a used bookshop ( Wabash River Books 1996-2005)and became an online bookseller. I started this blog in 2005 to share my mid-life artwork (primarily fiber), poetry and creative explorations. On March 18, 2006 my 20 year-old son Patrick died...and my world irrevocably changed.
On January 7, 2024, my beloved husband Paul Burkett died...and my world irrevocably changed.
I own 72 years now. Life is still very mysterious, magickal, beautiful and sweet and sad.

I remember that little red-haired boy. And I remember his mother wading into a swimming pool in her clothes because she thought he was in trouble. Hugs, sister. I love you.
