Passover, laundry and plans to get weaving

 To blogistas who observe, on the first night

And this one's for you, Ms Moon

I couldn't get the Cartier -Bresson credit in without the commands, sorry.

About weaving watch this bunch of PVC bits and belt, for future backstrap weaving adventures. 

This is the loom.

Meanwhile out on the fence, scene of many mourning dove trysts, the solitary dove now has company. 

The male, left, danced and preened and nibbled at his partner's face, while she crouched low,  held out her wings and trembled. They, too, are planning to get weaving, I'd say.

Lovely afternoon at the weekly discussion group.  All the women were absent except the leader and me. I'm guessing they were busy getting their Seders organized. But we managed. 

The leader is someone I've known for many years, haven't seen since before the pandemic, and she didn't recognize me. No glasses! After that we had a good reunion.

Happy day everyone, whatever your plans.

Easter and Passover close together this year, so Happy Spring, too!

This is the season of decorating Easter eggs.  Only doing five this year, all spoken for already.  And I only had five white eggs in the house anyway.  This means omelettes this week, too.  Pictured is stage two, after I blew the eggs, collected the contents, then rinsed out the shells so that the eggs will be permanently good.

I thought it would be good to do marbling, never done that with eggs, though I've done various decorating ideas with the annual egg caper.  And it was a time to try out a new marbling kit of paints, which came complete with Japanese instructions...but there were bits of translation,too.  Marbling is pretty obvious, though, no need for a lot of explanation.

This isn't strictly marbling, since I did the classic thing of the designs on the water, but then while the shells were still wet, dropped more ink onto them.  I may give them another coat of something, too, not sure yet.   

And of course, waste not, want not, I dipped a couple of sheets of paper in, to make the cards that will accompany the eggs to their destinations. Then dropped more ink onto the wet paper.  It's very cool to see how the colors react to one another, some being more aggressive in seizing space than others.

So Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Good Spring, inclusive wishes to all blogistas!  I missed Nowruz, but I'm including it here, as another Spring celebration.
