pot luck

this baby was a self sowing hellebore which surprised me after xmas. let's see what comes out of it as seed propagation plants can be quirky.

still weather wondering, one day cold another springy temps.

the results are worrisome, clematis are coming out,

the camellia is full of blooms,

but they are not opening.

the jasmine has more flowers than in the summer, and it's not the season for that. frost will come and all will suffer. 

 and the layout of this post is sucky, but frankly i'm taking a rest from html.  wysiwyg literally and figuratively.

i lack the courage to cut this warp and trash it.it's good silk all dyed with natural dyes. mottainai

so it's been relegated again and again, but have kept me from getting on with life,actually.it's been a year with a fully unusable loom.

 therefore new years resolution is to tackle this %#] warp and move forward. will i succeed? we shall see.

so far the offending section has been takenoff and re,reded using one of my vintage japanese reeds.

and i've started winding bobbins to make up the section. i wonder why the japanese don't use sectional beams working with such fine silks. sectional seems to be a western sort of hit. it seems you dont graduste into the major leagues if you don't use sectional warping.which with all due respect it is a royal p*i*t*a. would like to hear your thoughts on the subject.

 discovering that it takes longer to recover and get back into the swing of things. plus xmas in the way.(>人<)

have not been idle this time though, been visiting various circles of dante's hell working on updating my web page. wanted to publish it last week, but still have to debug it and i'm going nuts.

it will fall into place. eventually.

already went back to japanese clasess and tai chi on wednesday.
