Chocwalbiks, Camomile Lawn, Textiles and Tea,

The blueberries sort of vanished when yogurt showed up, so the muffin/biscuit/thingies were chocolate chip and walnut.

I expect I'll manage. 

I'm now up to 90% with Ruth and Laura, and at this rate, I'll be hearing my stove alarm more often. The road home was closed and I ended up making a lovely detour around roads I hadn't been on for ages. I also did not get lost, to my surprise, old routes kicking in.

Textiles and Tea featured a weaver and dyer, Sydney Sogol, who started out in fine arts and now spends her time weaving her own threads, usually plant based, such as tencel. In this series of images you'll see a scarf woven by another fiber artist from Sydney's dyed threads.

She draws on the natural world, particularly birds, for inspiration, and marine mammals, as well as the Nazca lines.

in Paris modeling her clothes, with her sister

A chuppah designed, dyed and woven for a friend's wedding.

She is aiming for iridescence in her threads, and loves plunging into color.

Current evening viewing is a rerun of Camomile Lawn, from Mary Wesley's novel. Wonderful cast, great incidental music, those haunting string pizzicatos. Adapted from Ravel's string quartet in f major.

One of the times when a brilliant novel is adapted to a brilliant series.

Here's my latest book request. I'll probably get to read this on a snowy day

And just sayin

Happy day, everyone, get your digs in where you can..
