    Sitting With My Thoughts (CW current events)

      This used to be the public pathway in my subdivision.  One of the people living next to the pathway had planted rose bushes and they bloomed pretty much all summer.  It was always a delight to go on my daily walk and appreciate the pink and white roses, nodding their heads in the breeze.…

    Two Things

      Weaving is labour intensive. Parts of the process can be frustrating to learn. Some people give up because they hate warping. And I get it. But here’s the thing.  Creating textiles by weaving *is time consuming*.  It takes as much time as it takes (given the weaver’s skill level). I chose to become a…

    Managing Energy

      If it was ‘easy’, everyone would be doing it… Yesterday I got the appointment for the next injection into my lumbar back.  The best they could fit me in was in about 2 weeks. I’m an ‘old hand’ at managing my symptoms and energy, but I am, quite frankly, running on empty after months…

      I made it to the halfway point of the 2nd scarf today.  The photo doesn’t really do the colour justice.  The grey is shiny, more like metal.  Silver.  Or steel. The opposite side of the cloth is a ‘negative’ of this side – where the cloth is white, it’s grey and vice versa.   Part…

  • Good Idea

    Good Idea

      old photo of some of my silk stash Sometimes I get a ‘good idea’, mull it over, don’t see any down sides and then proceed with it. And it doesn’t turn out the way I would like. When I have minimal numbers of spoons for each day, I have little in the way of…
