I've returned from Michigan and it was the very best trip I have ever had there. My sister and I connected as never before and my mom, sister and I had one of those great "sit on the neighbors porch, and talk and laugh untill the wee hours" It was as I remember the most beautiful moments of my childhood, balmy, quiet, tender joyful.

I had a fabulous time teaching for The Ann Arbor Fiberarts Guild. I met wonderful creative women, from whom I was offered great inspiration for the continuation of my own work. My fiber arts aren't as evolved as my couture work, but I did finish this knitted top (so simple) after seeing the work of the women in Ann Arbor.

It's a Kim Hargraves design using heathered raw silk yarn. It smells wonderful. I love the smell of silk, and wearing it is a joy, it has such life. The girl who sold me the yarn at Bon Marche has become a good friend. She is a fiberarts soul and she inspires me to work with lovely yarn, even if it takes me 2 years to finish a tank top!!! Oh, how embarassing, but I think we've all been there. I am in process with new entries starting next monday. Thanks for visiting.

    Shermane! So glad you are safely back in Paris. We are SO looking forward to your return trip to AAFG in January! and I've been looking at my shape in a whole new way. My hair is now cut, and a bit darker, and needs more...one step at a time!

    I love the quotes that you include in your blog. I know it takes time, but don't leave us dangling for so-o-o-o long. ;)

    Be well, be peace.
