This time they match, but who’s looking, right? So. The trunk show yesterday was fun. From 11 til 4 there was a steady stream of folk interested enough to face the wind and cold. Nice people. Interested. Interesting. Mostly happy people. But that wasn’t a requirement–all we asked was a can of food to be donated to the local food bank. I was so busy yakking and pouring mulled cider that I really did a lousy job of documenting the event. And the pics I do have, well, exposure was obviously an issue.

Sample of my sister’s weaving on the right–in fact it was the “Jennifer Dusic Trunk Show”–scarves, runners, tea towels–flying out the door!
Mother of Grandson. My daughter. Many handles. And she’s hard to pin down. But easier than the cousin with the one blue suede shoe leaving the frame.
And finally, here’s the wonder dress. My new celebrating the holiday’s dress. 
and here. This is what saved my butt. I made cards from several of my cloths. Mounted photos to heavy cardstock. Sold them for $3 each. These pics aren’t great, but you get the idea.

Wonder dress indeed. Seeing you in this quietly stunning oh so celebratory dress you look as if you stepped out of your beautiful cloths to herald in the deep meaning of the season, the coming of the Solstice. There is such a rich and special sense of earthy splendor!.

The show was wonderful…including your hand dyed dress covered with your art! You have become, in this last year, a serious artist as has your sister Jennifer. I hope you both can take in this reality….I’m really proud of you! Elizabeth

It’s taken me so long to get here, so sorry. what strikes me when I see you is how comfortable you seem with how it has all happened, how it as happened, how it needed to.

hi Jude. wonderful to have you here, whenever–sooner later it’s all the same. i guess the operative word in your comment is “needed”–needed to happen. this thing has a life of it’s own. i feel like i’m hanging out to see where it goes. much love to you.
