poking my head out of my shell



i hadn't planned on this winter being so solitary. i'm usually teaching a course at the university in the winter which gets me out a couple of days a week. it's often "downtime" for my craft - no urgent deadlines - so i can be a little more sociable. but with no teaching this winter and with my decision to go to the spring toronto one of a kind show, it has meant alot of time spent alone spinning and knitting. this past weekend was an exception. our west coast craft group met at urve's on sunday afternoon. we hadn't been together as a group since last fall and it was great to catch up on what we've all been making/thinking. then last night my tiny book club (we're 4 now) got together to share a wonderful meal and discuss dickens and "little dorrit". i came home full - belly and spirit. i appreciate my friends...

It's wonderful to have an evening socialising with friends in the dead of winter. The cosiness of it all. The companionship. The eating, drinking, and laughing and the exchange of information. So glad you had a good time.

That sounds like such a nice mid-winter break. I am such a homebody, it's a good reminder that time spent with friends is good medicine for one's soul. Thanks.
