So, I walk out to my car in the morning and the days are cooler, the fog in settling in over the valley. I’m dodging the spider webs, marveling at the intricacies of the weaving – how can one tiny animal create something that’s so pretty when it’s covered in dew? The leaves are starting to swirl in the driveway, the reds, oranges and browns of fall. I never used to like those colors, leaving them to my sister but now I’m gaining a deeper appreciation. I’m trying new things and stretching myself in new color ways, surprised at what I can create.
Fall is also when then days get shorter, less time after work to putter in the yard or take a walk. I look out my window and see all those pretty leaves are falling NOW…… maybe I’ll go rake up a pile and jump in them. That was always a favorite thing to do as a kid, jump in the leaf pile with the dog. It was always hard to say who came up more covered in leaves. But it’s getting dark, and the streetlights are coming on. Guess it’s time to figure out which loom gets warped up next and with what? If I was smart, I’d start my Christmas weaving – towels, napkins and the like, since I always taken on doing too many of those! But Christmas is 3 months away, and I have all these wonderful reds, oranges, tans and browns from stash sale……. What’s on your loom??? Meg Spaulding WWG President 2024-2025 |
