Mystery plant revealed and weaving goes on

I spent the morning threading up for a new woven band, and have a design picked out from Susan Foulkes book. 

From this

To this 


I think I'll wait for my new Sami Stoorstalka Gehpa shuttle

to get to work on this. The Sami are people in northern Scandinavia, and these shuttles were originally made from reindeer horn. Mine is some modern substance.

And I got a surprise in the living room. A while back I brought in some azalea to force bloom. And today it did. 

Outside the azaleas are barely beginning.

The rain stopped and I got out for a walk to ease my aching back -- threading is engrossing and when you stop, you realize you can hardly straighten up.

And here's the dogwood, and miniature violas




Then, on the patio, one of my app-owning friends tells me, this is Sweet William.


It was probably among the seeds I strewed last spring, since I believe they come up from seed in the second year. I love Sweet William, so I'm hopeful.

Lovely day today and another Guinness movie planned this evening.

Happy day, everyone, watch what you invent, it may surprise you. See plot of TMITWS sez Ted and Big Ursy and Pony and Ursula. They're not planning to create anything other than havoc.
