Great ticket, not so great inspection, and other vital things

 Here's a great ticket, checks all my boxes

He's a good man, will support, not compete with, her, it doesn't take anyone out of Congress, and his lieutenant Gov, Peggy Flanagan, who will preside in his campaign absence, is the first native American woman to do so. Many wins.

The inspection, not so much. Electrical failed, something needs torquing (!) and plumbing passed. Two separate inspectors. Plumber said electric was too picky. I know electric always likes to find something.

So, remediation needed, another appointment, then a reinspection, another appointment. Call to plumber, email to building dept. This too shall pass.

I didn't make it to Tuesday knitting, storms in NJ, but Textiles and Tea was on, despite the presenter in Illinois losing power and WiFi, storms, and returning gamely, ending up on her phone! 

She's a former competitive swimmer, used to overcoming! And she's a painter turned weaver who paints her warps and finds a lot of parallels between painting, swimming and weaving. As you'll see

these are watercolor studies for upcoming works

24 foot hand painted warp! She loves large works, being 6'2" herself, they feel right.

This bottom piece, detail shown above,  is 23' across. She cut the wave shapes and is still deciding what to do with the part she cut off.  Look at her energy and color! Her work is dynamic.

And this humble weaver has come away, yet again, with an idea I'd like to try, a small tapestry though. I fancy painting the warp, and have a general notion of the design.  Textiles and Tea never fails.

And while I was writing, this happened

Complete with voiceover.

I hadn't planned on going anywhere, just as well. Happy day everyone, stay safe!
