Wood Blocks

Happy Veteran's Day.  

• My day started slow.  I made the mistake of sitting down.  I think I needed that.  It was a nice Saturday morning rest.
• For the first time in a long time, I went to the studio.  My objective was to do some cleaning and look for some missing felt squares.  I did some straightening, but I couldn't find the broom to sweep.  I didn't find what I was looking for.  I did work on a kumihimo piece that I have had for a while.  That is a few more inches longer now.  I listened to my book a lot.

• Keziah went to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill, MA today.  She brought home some of the blocks that were used for printing in papers or magazines.  One of them is dated 1966.  They are parts of NH.  They are a neat piece of history to have.

NH Renaissance Faire

Here are some happy things from my day at the NH Renaissance Faire:

• There was once a pile of silk thread that misbehaved on a piece of weaving and got cut off. This pile was tangled but most of the pieces were still worth using for something. Off and on over the last few years (mostly off) I have been working at untangling the threads, sometimes I had help. Today the task was completed and a new project began.  I have started a kumihimo cord.

• Many people came through our area and seemed interested in coming to SCA events.  One never knows how many will find the time and interest after a demo like this, but it is always good when new people join.

• There is a friend that I was able to visit with for a short time at the Faire.  I have known him for over thirty years and it is wonderful to get to catch up with him, however briefly.
