time and the weather

progress is slow and the garden keeps calling – loudly!

I let the foxglove self seed where it will

time to make a double batch of rhubarb muffins

I’m tempted to escape

but the weaving is also calling

using my Mother’s knitting bobbins to keep the silk threads from tangling

the inlay is so much fun I can’t seem to stop

at last – the Icelandic fleece is spun

washed the 3lbs 5oz now weighs 2lbs 8oz – more stash!

old linen napkins soaked up the indigo

they were well used and are very fragile, with some small holes, but the handwork makes them worth saving

only two dips and this silk sample looks promising

do you think there is a message here?
