Textiles and Tea and chicken and biscuits

Roast chicken, buttered and garlicked and hot biscuits. 



After Misfits brings the coconut milk tomorrow, there will be curried chicken. Today it's picking on roast chicken.

She weaves tapestries, specializing in wedge weaving, her own way. This is a weaving approach creating angular designs and developed by Navajo weavers, whose work is like this

And she doesn't plan on writing a book, because her notes are easy to access on-line.
