Textiles and Tea, jigsaw puzzle, and garden arrival

Yesterday's Textiles and Tea featured Scottish weaver Cally Booker and her joyful approach to weaving patterns. There were technical hitches, she being in Aberdeen and the signal sometimes breaking down, but here's the slides we saw

This is two views of the River Tay, one its silvery water, the other a view from the Tay Bridge coming across to the city, with sunset reflections.

Here's a five year daily study on Arctic ice melting, the melt being the blue area, the rest the ice, taken from scientific reporting of the measurements. Left the piece, right a detail.

 

This work, a scarf, describes her local shoreline at the mouth of the River Tay.

She's a narrative weaver.

This is a collaborative work created with a Canadian architect, about identity.

And here's double huck, which I don't know anything about except she loves it.

And yesterday I went to the local library, to donate that jigsaw puzzle about canned vegetables, which they were happy to receive. 

While there I looked at the collection and see Rose's donations in the lineup. They're often out, so I'd say that's a good destination for them.

And, seems I can't get away from yarn, here's my borrowed current puzzle

Neighbor Aditha came to see the dove on the nest very cautiously, 

and give me a curry leaf plant

I love cooking with curry leaves, anywhere you might use a bay leaf. It's a deep lovely flavor. Indian vegetarian cooks like to use for rich flavor, and they're right.

Great discussion group this afternoon, mostly to the right of me, but it's kept impersonal, so it's quite enlightening. 

The men don't interrupt, quite a novelty  in my experience. We had a substitute moderator, who did okay, though not as prepared as the regular one.

The Haggard Hawks puzzle answer is:

OYSTER

which I think quite a few people not only got, but created great clues about, thank you. 

Happy day everyone, speak up, you're entitled. Don't be a clam!
