365 Words


Judite Vagners Merino scarf. Woven on the Jane Louet 8 shaft table loom. Judite said she enjoyed weaving on this loom. 
Individual words have always ignited my imagination, my dreaming, and been a vital source of inspiration and igniting my enthusiasm. Finding those words that are kindling for my learning and growing on my weaving quest has taken years to accumulate and likely I will add many more. Here are my 365 words that help me to keep an open mind and an open heart and a healthy approach to not only my learning but the learning of others.

Ghandi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering his own inner truth. He set out to do this by trying to learn from his own mistakes and observing himself, his actions, his reactions, his thoughts. This journey of self discovery and learning is in his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth. Ghandi believed that the most important battle to fight was overcoming one’s own demons, fears and insecurities.

About MISTAKES
An action that was not one’s intention and a result of a moment of inattention.

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” Albert Einstein

“Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude and fallibility we call humanness, we are saved by”…..being able to forgive ourselves, by not abusing ourselves, berating ourselves, nor judging what we have done harshly. Part quotation by David Augsburger.

Wendy Hayden worked on the double weave sampler inspired by Jennifer Moore's book. Here on my computer screen the light areas appear green...these areas are white, however I thought this colour combination would be a nice combination.
