while i was sick,
the mail still came.
wireless worked.
a few new goodies arrived
as i was becoming ill
and then during.
some i've written about
some are not yet seen,
but sophie, and carol, and haystack, and pien
here they are!
sophie munns sent me a book and a few goodies
that made me dance and shout
carol showed me some tempting process photos,
as did aimee
these are mysterious
but there's even more mystery i can't write about, yet
a place i want to go to this summer
maybe
and i may have some interesting teaching gigs popping up,
can't give details till they're worked out.
and pien rotterdam,
someone i "met"
years and years ago as part of the YAHOO papermakers group
evertything was beautifully wrapped
and her sample book was lovely
really fine papers
the kind that take your breath away
these and so much more
(you know who you are, i've still got it all confused)
enriched my illness
with caring, and art, and thought, phone calls and interest,
enough so i was able to keep stitching
one stitch at a time .
love makes it through the internet
i swear it.
