these two things went exactly as planned. although
the pics taken late last night are odd in color, the
mission was accomplished.

around and inbetween, other things went very much
awry. it became suddenly unexpectedly Very Cold,
as in 8 degrees at night and i needed to mobilize
around frozen water pipes, a reluctant wood splitter
(needed to make self be a mechanic)etc.
and through it all, i once again became frustrated
with the fact that Blog Spot does not have the
reply function under each comment, as TypePad does and
soooooo, got lost in TypePad land. have for the moment
given up.

about the Faux comment. to clarify, (and this is why i
would so much like the Reply To that typepad has….makes
actual communication a possibility)
what i was thinking is Drawing traditional designs that
i love and don't have…like the beautiful wind patterns
and ikat designs. i used the word faux because these are
very traditional textiles, mine would be drawn surface
markings…and i don't know how i feel about that.
What i have decided is to put this What If on hold till
the Boro class where i think it might be an appropriate
question.

so…to all of You who keep me company here, i wish you
a New Year of great energy to meet what ever arrives at
your doorstep,
and i Thank You so deeply for traveling with me.
Much Love to All…grace

    if one could move to typepad intact from blog that would be the best. i too am fed up with blog for the same and more reason(s)… as i am in my new room, i am noticing it is cold too… its above the garage and maybe not as insulated ? grace is there insulation under your trailer?

    Hasnt been above freezing here for the last couple days (even day time), wont be for a few more. Cold! About being respectful towards traditional designs, big topic. Sounds like you dont want to get into that topic too much yet, but my quick response (and for anyone not in the class) is that if its done with a respectful intent, then I think we should make and do. Happy New Year Grace!

    Grace, thanks for talking about that response thing — being new at it, Ive searching for a way to respond to individual comments to no avail. Now I know why. So thank you. It was cold here in Denver, too, as you probably know! But 8 in NM is pretty nippy. I mentioned your New Year ritual today because I loved the way you described it! See you!

    HI Grace…. I hope you got everything unfrozen and working! Sounds very cold. We suddenly got very WARM, it was around 50 degrees today and all the snow is quickly disappearing. It sounded like it was raining all day as melting snow hit the metal roof. Much abundance and inspiration to you this year!

    Happy New Year Grace. I started my blog after the class with Jude and couldnt believe there was no way of responding to comments in a way that keeps a conversation going! Very frustrating. I too have looked at Typepad; but having just started am reluctant to take that learning curve again! We got warm here too with beautiful azure blue skies… everything is topsy turvy.

    Lasagna and butterflies: food for the body, food for the soul… I have to say that you have done a wonderful job with responding to the comments on your blog grace. You take the time to acknowledge each comment with thoughtful responses. So while it is a difficult format, you keep the conversation going, and that enfolds us in your welcoming circle.
