slow and steady

the month is speeding away

too fast, too fast!the journal pages for October are finished

I talk too much – stitching  all those letters takes time

spinning all the silk hankie colours together

and planning to ply the fine singles to mix the colours even more

finally, the warp is on the loom

while winding this mixed warp and dressing the loom

I wondered how easily it would weave – if at all?

well, it behaved perfectly – weaving is like that

maybe that is what has kept me weaving for 40 years

but, wait a minute

look at that, a threading mistake that wasn’t caught

to late to fix for the first tea towel

c’est la vie!
