It's been a busy month....the election (enough has been written on that!), I gave a presentation on my work to the Borrego Springs Art Guild which was fun and well received,  I started weekly piano lessons with a new teacher - Diane - who is infectiously energetic and enthusiastic about music, I finished the third of three throws which I wove for friends, and I've started three botanical weavings, one or two of which I plan to submit to the Ramona library/art guild jury for display in the library's January show.  And Thanksgiving, which we spent with dear friends in Encinitas, was wedged in there too. This throw I took to my dear friend Denice, who lives in Ft. Collins, Colorado.  It's a cotton and wool blend.

This

throw I wove for our friends Geoff and Muriel, who visit every year from Alberta Provence, in Canada.  It's a wool and cotton blend, and it's somewhere between Ramona and Gibbons, wending its way through the Canada postal system, which Muriel assures me can take a while (it's been just over four weeks at this writing!). I hope it arrives safely in their home, and soon!  The  temperature in Gibbons has just slipped into the single digits, and this blanket is woven with the softest, plushest Churro yarns from northern New Mexico.
