[Loch-soilleir] Fiber Arts - Last Monday in December

[wyllowmacm at netscape.net]

Greetings unto the artisans & scholars of the Loch!

Today is the last Monday of the month; thus it is a Fiber Arts  
night.  However, there will be no Fiber Arts this evening, since we  
all must tend our own hearths in preparation to send Old Father  
Winter on his way and greet the new year.  Instead, I have put a  
hearty pot of beans & ham simmering on my hearth so that any who wish  
to brave the terrible cold (below 80F) today may drop by during the  
day to warm themselves.  (It smells delicious!)

What blessings did Father Christmas bring you?   Do you need some  
advice on how to warp a new loom, apply a new embroidery pattern, cut  
a new length of wool, or overdye a particularly atrocious bit of  
cloth?  Or do you just crave a few moments of company, away from the  
hustle of the family?

If, like me, you have found the market-gates locked today and time on  
your hands - come by to visit!  I have missed your company.
Anytime before 2pm.

In Service to the Dream
