Yes, without the normal colds and viruses, we are completely taken aback by this doozy of a one! Better each day, sat up on the couch all day yesterday, not even a nap. Thanks, Saskia.

Had planned to take the week off from shop making. Moon was starting his summer job. After a couple of weeks, I was going to have the house to myself during the days. I was going to work on personal projects- weaving the other side of that quilt, start an indigo vat, work on gifts, catch up ...
Thank you, Dana, a little better each day. How swell to see you here. I think of you and wonder how you are...hoping to hear that you have recovered and creating your beautiful things.

Thanks, Liz. It took a few days to have the energy to lift a needle, glad to be moving a little now. So sorry you and Don had it too, and happy you're well on the mend.

What a beautiful trip that was, thank you, Marti. I plan to revisit many times, oxo.

I loved the dream, if only it were true! The bed is full of stories- my dad's from the foster home he grew up in, then mine, brother's, nephew's, my boy's, and now mine again. Maybe a redo when the energy is back...

Knew I was feeling better when I was laughing at the bedpost. That and yesterday's boredom. Thanks, making is slow, and here and there, but good to be doing bits of things.

Your cloths sure were a bit of cheery color yesterday. I suppose it was a good time for it to happen, nothing HAD to get done this week.

Thanks, if I ever have enough energy, maybe. Glad it cooled off at least.

Thanks, Nancy, I want these days to slow down for me and stitching but wish the months would fly by for K!

First fresh indigo experiment using the salt method. Two leaves, some salt, and a scrap of cotton (it already had some iron or walnut smudges on it) and of silk. Enjoyed the process and results very much, thanks again, Deb! Played with one in my dream that night. Something I alway...
Turquoise is so soothing. We've heard only good things about the surgery, except from my mother, but she didn't/doesn't do what she was told to afterwards. K thinks that is the kind he will have, thanks. Moon's brain often boggles my mind.

Ha, when I read this, I thought, "Was there a bed in the room?" But then remembered that it was where Widget was hiding. Hardly registered with me. Maybe because there were so many other interesting things to be looking at! Math does have its charms.
Being a teacher helped to appreciate it more. Give Gibson a skritch for me, oxo.

So sorry, for him and you! I don't know if it's ideal (is there anything ideal about a bed in the front room?), but it is better. The silk is so thin, a dream to stitch into.

I have had moments with math, but it's mostly faded now. There was the exciting lightbulb and fireworks moment when Blue was in 4th grade, and his teacher taught me a different way of doing division. With Moon it's an artform. Yeah, the hip...

I will be sure to take needle and thread with me, Marti! I love your kind of math, a lovely equation.

Whenever you write Silver Girl I am filled with warm fuzzies.

Gosh, thanks Helen! Mark is brilliant (but I already knew that because he's with you!).

Calmness and peace in every thought, all of it... & the ROSES.

10 things about this weekend.
Deep breath. A picnic on the back porch. Strawberry Jam. I read on the porch for 2 hours. There was sunshine and rain. The fig is bigger. Roses were picked to make rose water. I watched the hummingbird stretch its body out, its tail feathers were illuminated by the light. The in...
Me too, it's that half-way place between blue and green, refreshing and joyful. Yes, that fresh indigo color. Deb gave me a couple of plants, I'm hoping to try the salt method.

Dad always said that if it couldn't be fixed with duct tape, then it couldn't be fixed!
