One sign of healing I noticed yesterday was that I'm all set to winnow out my sewing supplies to share with the Lakota ladies of the Pine Ridge reservation who need them. I'm up for thinking about other people, good.
Also I'm wondering if they'd like hexies and stars to use as decoration or as projects themselves. I have quite a few stitched components they might enjoy incorporating into projects. Anyway, that's on the agenda. I just need a box.
Tatter has a great current offering, online, coming up
Food today, no pictures, was the rest of that roast chicken with roast potato dice. Very good, with a couple of changes. I used avocado oil instead of olive to roast the potato dice, much lighter and crisper. And I roasted it on a bed of spinach, which also came out crisp and I'm definitely doing that again. I seasoned with a dried basil salt mix I made ages ago and finally remembered to use.
Today's PT involved walking down the street, yay me, plus some table exercises. Followed by reading, well, full disclosure, sleeping, outside on the deck listening to birds. I heard the first redwing blackbird starting up. I love that sign of summer.
Textiles and Tea was about Klaus Anselm, retired doctor now an acclaimed tapestry weaver. He emigrated from Germany, eventually retired from medicine and discovered weaving. He's lived in the southwest, now in New England. You'll see the landscape of the southwest in his work, blocky shapes and colors.
He loves contrasting strong colors, using cotton warp and wool weft. His works are large for tapestry, up to 40" x 30". Well worth visiting.
Happy day, everyone. Handsome son will soon wind down his stay now that I'm getting stronger, and he agrees we'll both like our space back!
And speaking of space, the azalea which has struggled for years with the competition of the pachysandra, finally seems to be getting established. These blooms appeared today.
