Dancing Timber: Macrame Art & Stories
Stories and Whimsical, Colorful, Unique Boho Macrame Art by Kim Krause Berg
Whether I’m weaving stories or macrame wall hangings and decor, I have my own unique point of view. Maybe it will resonate with you?

Stories
I am a lifelong writer. Words are a form of energy. Writing words into sentences that make us feel something is art. Weaving takes a different path to tell a story. All the colors come to dance together when the weaver begins.

Macrame Art
When I weave rope, I usually just listen to what Spirit wants to create. It’s a beautiful gift. I also allow my spirit to listen to you. I create custom macrame art that helps bring your own spirit to life.

The Unbroken Cord
There are two cords that exist between a mother and a baby she delivers. One provides nourishment during its time inside the womb. The other is the silent, invisible supporter cord that is attached for life. Motherhood is a sacred role. I think it is like how we are each attached to God, the Creator…

When I Was a Webmistress
I never wanted to be called a “webmistress”. But in the beginning of my career, when few women worked the web, this is what the label often was. Men were, of course, webmasters. And if you happened to enter an online club in those days, sometimes they called themselves, “Stallion”. Thirty Years – Toodles I…

Our Victories Never End
I took a selfie picture of myself on International Women’s day. Actually, there were at least five of them. One of them won. On that day, two friends noted me as a woman they admire. One of them said it was because of our victories. That made me stop what I was doing. Most people…

Defeat is Another Opportunity To Practice Being Prepared
I am not a flawless Creator. The last time I threw my life a curve on purpose was in 1994. Unlike a baseball pitcher practicing how to toss a curve ball, this life decision had no practice runs. I had to win. They say that when you ask for something you want through prayer, dreams, during…

I had a creative writing professor in college who had one rule for our class assignments. I have tried to abide by it but honestly, it is a tough one. He stood at the head of the classroom, gazing out at our young faces and said, “Absolutely never, ever start any story with ‘I was…

The Inspirational Bohemian Woman I’ll Never Know, Beatrice Wood
From the first chapter, I was transported backwards by 100 years to find a woman with the spunk and courage to show me how to live today. I don’t recall where I got the nudge to purchase Beatrice Wood’s autobiography, “I Shock Myself”, but once starting to read the book, I feel unfortunate I will…
About Kim
The Short Version
In 1995 I built my first website. It had a gray background and these things called nested table cells.
I launched a global community for web designers and search engine marketers in 1998. It ran for 20 years.
At first, I called myself Dancing Thunder. It was the perfect name for me. Later I named one of my websites “Cre8pc“. It means “create peace”. I kept that one.
Growing dreams
I don’t plan ahead.
