Yesterday was a full day

In order of importance, a friend came by unexpectedly, late morning, bringing these

She claimed it was congratulations on the new fridge, but when I mentioned Handsome Partner, she acknowledged that, yes, she knew. 

In fact it was she and Gary who came over right after he died at home,  and supervised the funeral home taking away his body, to save my having to do it. Handsome Son and I went to another room until he'd gone. You never forget friends who do a major thing like that. 

And Textiles and Tea was about wet felting, a labor intensive and beautiful textile art form, guest Lisa Klakulak. She gets a lot of inspiration in the wilderness, especially around the remaining glaciers.

Meanwhile, the mail arrived, bringing

my new rigid heddle. This one's 24", really big, wide enough for serious cloth and wallhangings so today's about threading the heddle, sleying, technical term. 

There's a special sleying tool, but I use a tiny crochet hook. Sarah Swett, famous weaver, uses a paperclip, another reason for fangirling a major artist who likes to make her own tools.

Later Gary, same one mentioned above, came over and installed the new disposal.

And that's pretty much yesterday around here. A wonderful one, by end of day.
