Double Edged Sword
warp 21 (I think) beginning further along near the end next scarf When I began this blog almost 5 years ago, it was by way of being a celebration of returning health and weaving. Little did I realize it would be a celebration of weaving in spite of continuing health issues…. It is never easy…

Longer Days
The days aren’t actually any longer – they still come with 24 hours in them – but the day light is coming earlier and leaving later. I’m still fighting through a lack of energy and not accomplishing nearly enough during the day, but at least I feel like I’ve made some progress this week. I…

Random on a Wednesday
Why is it so hard to wait for word on a creative project tossed out into the arena of possibility? Perhaps that is what that much vaunted virtue of patience is all about? Waiting for 4 different projects/applications to come to fruition…or die on the vine. Impatiently. Those that I am in control of seem…

Two More
Today I had the sixth of eight Rituximab treatments, in the new cancer clinic facility. I brought a small hanging that I hope will help brighten the treatment room up as, being brand new, it is still a little sterile in terms of atmosphere. I suggested it would look best hung in front of a…

October 29, 2012
the view from my kitchen window at noon…. We missed the local excitement Saturday night as we were still on our way home from Seattle. The 7. something earthquake off the west coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwai) was felt here in some places but no damage resulted. We did run into the…

Taking Control
remember these? All gone except for one… Yesterday I got all the inventory unpacked and put away and was able to see what is low and what needs to be replaced. It was very satisfying to note that only one of these scarves were left. A nice stash busting warp and some good income as a…

Thanksgiving Day
In Canada we celebrate a day of thanksgiving in October. It’s a great way to remind ourselves, whatever our religious beliefs may or may not include, that life is good no matter how challenging it may be. In the course of the past 4 and some years I have learned many lessons. I’ve always been…

No Reservations
My oncologist turned into Santa Claus. When I got to the clinic it was to the news that today was the first treatment of the maintenance protocol. Hooray! There are no adverse effects from the monoclonal anti-bodies. 😀 I will get a treatment every 3 months for the next 2 years, but the really rocky…

Happy Dancing (with some reservations)
Happy Dancing! I am doing the Happy Dance – with a little caution, since I do not yet have all the answers I was looking to get today at the clinic. The oncologist pronouced my response to treatment as ‘excellent’. He is following up with the BC Cancer Agency today to find out if they…

Fox Fibre Towels
green weft begun with small sample showing developed colour I have totally lost count of how many brown towels I wove but one cone is now empty. 🙂 This afternoon I switched to the green which doesn’t look like much on the loom, but once the colour developes should look really nice. My energy finally came…
