learning curves

it has been an event-full week

without any notice the kitchen plumbing became BLOCKED

at least the plumber came quickly – and was good

all the pipes needed replacing – yikes!

the same day the computer died – well it is 11 years old – and they don’t make them to last!!

Spring rains have arrived

and then the gas fireplace decided to join the plumbing and the computer

I had an old aunt who firmly believed that “things” came in threes

hope she was right

meanwhile, progress on the fibre front

the front and lining on the kesa are joined at top and bottom

the lining was turned to the front and hand stitched to finish the edge

stitching through both layers around the circle patches

weaving paper thread (shifu) on a linen warp

and at tea and tell, more tea towels

Arlene’s different coloured wefts

Kathy”s colour and pattern

Heather holding another of Kathy’s bright towels

they will definitely brighten the morning clean-up

a new computer is on its way, son Paul is saving the old “stuff”

hopefully this one will keep working and it won’t take me forever to figure out how to use the new programs!!!

see you later
