A day in the life of a weaver ...

This morning I had breakfast with a friend whose lady friend has split from him.  We had actually had friends for tea last night but as he still seemed rather upset I suggested he stay over.

While talking after eating I sorted the banking for a weaving group of which I'm treasurer and filed an awful lot of papers.  Wrote out cheques to be used at a Seminar next weekend.  Also had a quick read of what workshops I'm doing this weekend and what I need to take with me.  After friend was on his way I put a load of washing in the machine and put a shibori scarf in to soak ready for dyeing.  While waiting for them to do their thing I tried to tidy the length of tassels on the end of a scarf  hoping to get them nearer one length.  I think there was a phone call in here with reference to next weeks Seminar.

Painted the dye on the scarf and while eating a quick sandwich for lunch it steamed.  Whipped it out of the pot and left it to cool while I drove to Waihi for banking and then on to Whiritoa (about 45 minutes from home) to say goodbye to a dear weaving friend who has sold her house and is moving to Feilding (about 5 hours drive).  I will miss our show and tells greatly but it'll still cost exactly the same for a phone call.  When I got home I rinsed scarf and its now drying on top of the hot water cylinder.  While rinsing I'm on the phone to friend who is not at all well (notice a certain amount of multitasking going on through the day).  Finished washing the car about 6.30 and thought I better cook tea.

Am now sorting and packing stuff for a weekend with the Majacraft folks at a weekend get together on the shores of Lake Rotorua.  Can't wait.  I'm going to chill ... zzzz
