friday/a small spinner

i'm not really sure how many hours i was traveling,
about 35 air/airport hours, anyway
montreal
i was in zombie mode yesterday
unpacked and smelled the lovely 
australia/eucalypts that dyed so much
in my three weeks
 while i was gone
 emergence
i went to town for a few groceries after my 5-7 pm nap
~~~
wendy is well, aging, but so happy to see me.
her person said she had a "spell" while i was gone.
but recovered
~~~
 a blessing:
in my email there was a lovely note
from one of my in the ecotone students, rosie.
who braved the workshop chill
with layers and fingerless gloves (it was cold)
her daughter has taken to shifu!
she is so engaged in this process
these photos touched my heart
i'm so happy that
little radha has joined the motherline of spinners
and weavers

  3. it is lovely to see a person any age that knows the value of working with nature's processes and passing them on instead being removed from nature they become part of it...she glows.

  7. welcome home! i can't believe you're already back, though i know it has been an experience much richer and deeper and consequential than the quantifiable time (minutes, hours, days) you were actually there. so glad wendy recovered and that you are together again. a child making shifu, oh my!!

  11. Hi Velma
    I have just had a look at your blog and the pictures. It certainly was a wonderful experience and I am glad I learned Shifu. The three days flew and we were a happy , absorbed group. I put a few pictures on my online tapestry group and was amazed at the reaction. I have not done much since then as I am snowed under with homework; but I plan to. Gald you arrived home safely.
