WFH Working From Home

       Today is the sixth week of working from home because of the Coronavirus pandemic.  There's not a lot of library work for me to do, so I have been doing a lot of textile arts.  I'm knitting a double knit blanket designed by Lucy Neatby,

 I'm working on the lace for Abby's First Communion veil (supposed to be May 2 but will probably be postponed),

 Alexis and I made a bunch of face masks,

and I am learning tapestry weaving. I bought a Mirrix 16 inch Big Sister loom and a Saffron pocket loom with my stimulus funds (thank God I am a teacher and still have a job and am getting paid!)

   Last year I bought Rebecca Mezoff's Warp and Weft tapestry weaving class (part 1) but hadn't really done much with it.  She is having a drop in on You Tube every week day at 12:30 and I've been attending it since it started.  It has really inspired me.
   I have also started keeping a journal of my thoughts- but that has turned out to be pretty depressing.
Notable quotes from my journal:

Bandolini's Bullshit Asymmetry Principal:  The amount of energy required to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than the amount required to produce it.

Elizabeth Zimmerman - Knit on with confidence and hope through all crises.

John Prine - To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

Thoreau- What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary?

Phillip Kenicott (WaPo)- The time has come for us to wear masks.  And when at last we can take the masks off, finally then we will begin to know who we are.

Rebecca Mezoff - Tapestry is a jealous medium.

Jonathan Swift- Falsehood flies and truth comes limping after.

News in Slow French - La vie, c'est les autres.
