Catching Up

Dear Alice,

You have probably figured out by now that my absence is due to overbooking.

So here's the sequence of events since the week in San Antonio:

Weekend of May 3, Marvelous, Magical Color Workshop thru AAFG by Lois Bryant

Here's Lois with one of the many beautiful pieces she shared with us in the workshop that weekend.




We were to study colors taken from photos taken from magazines, calendars, our own collection or any source of inspiration. Here you see the colors I was playing with. The blues/greens/yellows are now a warp on my Little Alice.

Weekend of May 10, Opening the Cottage and a Good Walk in the Woods


Of course there is a lot of work to do to open the cottage for the season, but first one must take a walk in the woods to hunt morels. Even though it was the Mushroom Festival in Mesick, MI, we were skunked. It was just too cold. We did have a wonderful time walking the hilly woods, and the dogs had a blast together!







Weekend of May 17, Weaving History Conference at the Handweaving Museum, Clayton, NY.
...a lovely photo of Ruth Holroyd by Mary U. Ruth's presentation, the first of the weekend's programs, received a standing ovation by the group.



and this weekend--Steve's Birthday!





along with preparation of our 'float' for the Dexter Memorial Day Parade on Monday, and the beginning of door to door campaigning. It is also time to get tomatoes in the garden. More to come.

Sleep well!
Nancy
