365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

In Case I Forget
Day 28: You know how it is with little old ladies. Just in case I forget where I am, I thought I needed a sign to remind me. Seriously, though...I have been thoroughly enjoying weaving false damask and had a little bit left over at the end of a project which I didn't want to go to waste. I've often thought about making a needlework sign for the Loom Room just because...well, because it would be somewhere else I could hang a piece of fiberart. Actually, I have very little of my own work on display. There are functional items in service, to be sure, like the runner on the harpsichord and a tablecloth in the kitchen, but most of the things I create go as gifts. Since I designed this piece over Día de los Muertos, the top will be finished off with a simple simulated (i.e., woven) papel picado.
