My friends CJE and AE are taking care of both of their moms in their home. One is 92 and the other is almost 90. They are not well, but with the care given them they could last a while longer. Because my friend CJE is a weaver, spinner, dyer, knitter, and a writer, she had to give up some of her own personal space to house her mom. It has been a long two or so years of grumbling and passive behavior. So my friend took her own money and bought a portable building and yesterday it was delivered. JE and I showed up to support our fiber sister and to watch the events.
Needless to say it was hot outside all afternoon. I was pooped by the time I got home and Patty went to bed.
We are gathering on Saturday to move things in. It will be a great space for her to play and be creative. She will have her looms out and ready to weave. Her spinning wheel can go from house to studio and back. So can her knitting. Now the containers of fiber can find a home, the books can find a home, and it will be really nice to put things in their places.
Just as Virginia Woolf said, a woman really needs her own room. Congrats to CJE! It is wonderful to have you back in the mood to weave and play and spin and knit and write whenever you walk into the door.
