Dressing a loom means running the warp threads through the reed and heddles. Then the real fun of passing the shuttle (weft) can begin.
I actually like dressing the loom, though some think it drudgery. I can be very very, ummm, *anal* about it. Needs focus, and that's when I fall over :)
Someday I will go to Australia. The birds are exquisite as I hear the beaches are and the flora.
I so admire your travels. I would love to go to Vietnam too. I'm not sure why. Thich Nat Hahn? Because I was a child during the Vietnam War? Not really sure, because there are plenty of places in the
world.Sweden, too. Fabulous textiles.
Read a book by an Australian writer, gosh, what's her name? There. Linda Olsson. Takes place in Sweden and Australia. *Astrid & Veronika*. Good, but sad. Imagine that.
I will be mortified if you remind me you are from New Zealand. A friend from New Zealand quietly endures everyone assuming he's from Australia. So much so I love to tease him.
Like all here in the states, every so often we'll wonder, why are the Canadians so cranky with *Americans*? (Joke.)
Thanks sigi. How are you feeling?
Have a lovely supper.
