The weather at Willunga is staying warm and dry, we will have to start watering the garden again.We went into Melbourne street today and while Brian was at the eye specialist I visited the Textile shop where the owner does conservation work on old textiles and has many beautifully embroidered imported textiles as well.It is always a delight to visit this shop and see the delicate embroidery done by native women in Asia.We then visited my niece who also has a great collection of woven tapestries and noticed she has my handspun and hand   dyed half cross stitch random designed piece, framed, on the wall still.So came home and experimented with a bouclĂ© yarn and knitting elastic on the Brother 860, which was a disaster.Instead knitted a scarf with needles out of action which worked quite well.My creativity is not so much on hold as there are too many household things to attend to and that is distracting at present...ah,well.....

  1. Hello Tineke. I love the image of you in that lovely textile shop - the colours! I can conjure a frieze of something like a small room in an old bazaar in some exotic place; the walls glowing with the rich colours & exquisite weaving. Thanks for that.
