on your marks

breaking in my walkies. getting ready for the go on sunday. i'm doing whatever we can with along time friend whom i haven't seen since sept 11-that sept 11th. she had just flown in and was sitting in my living room  catching up with the tv on mute when the first plane went through  the building. we became blood sisters then.

moving on i still need to sort some things out, get sunblock, decide on the backpack and the train tickets to our starting point logroño (select your language unde the facebook icon) in the heart of la rioja wine country. don't be sad for me . (o_*)

i also need to finish the last 5 cms of the last of the landscape series. i want a vacant loom when i come back.

"In tropical climes there are certain times of day
When all the citizens retire,
to tear their clothes off and perspire.
It's one of those rules that the biggest fools obey,
Because the sun is much too sultry and one must avoid
its ultry-violet ray --
Papalaka-papalaka-papalaka-boo. (Repeat)
Digariga-digariga-digariga-doo. (Repeat)
The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts,
Because they're obviously, absolutely nuts --

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
The Japanese don't care to, the Chinese wouldn't dare to,
Hindus and Argentines sleep firmly from twelve to one,
But Englishmen detest a siesta"

weathering the storm

i thought that it would be an appropriate title for this one.skies are clear now.

why is it that we get into such funks? whomever responds with a good answer gets the prize.

good news! good news!

the internet textile community is beyond amazing.

i wrote a message on facebook lamenting the fact that i had not received communication from the organising committee at lodz triennial regarding the reception of my piece. i knew it had gotten there, but as my contact sent me a frantic e- mail saying that it was past due freak out is an understatement. 

people started passing the message around. at the same time  my friend holly bradshaw communicated with a friend of hers who had a contact who... you get the drift.

holly's friend Susan Hart Henegar,who coincidentally participated in a show i also participated in 2001, located someone at the lodz museum, requested photos  then  sent me a message with the photos. 

 et voila mesdames! here's the  living proof ,the end to a nightmare that has lasted a year all together.

i have a feeling i was dealing  all this time with an intern and not someone from the  museum staff as the lack of professionalism was truly appalling.

was it shakespeare who said all's well that ends well? :) must have been as he said everything.
