One of our favorite things about traveling is the people we meet on the road. We met Shannon Greer at a magazine job, where we traveled from Maine to Puerto Rico doing elaborate wedding photo shoots. You really get to know someone when you work that closely with someone (5 am call times, hectic scouting days), and we fell in love with Shannon's laid-back demeanor, sense of humor and great style.

MCASD opens dialogue about humans and nature
On Aug. 17, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego opened a traveling exhibition entitled "Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet," an eight-artist collaboration that resulted from a distinctive creative undertaking.
Each artist was commissioned to respond through artwork after completing a residency at a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site, natural and cultural locations around the globe deemed to have outstanding universal value.
Organized by MCASD and the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA), in partnership with the international conservation organization Rare, the project's goal is to inspire thoughtful consideration of the relationship between man and nature, conservation and preservation of natural and manmade resources, and other global themes.
From 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 18 and 25, MCASD will present a two-part workshop offering participants an overview of the development and execution of the project, as well as an opportunity to respond to the exhibition by creating their own pieces. The workshops will be held at the downtown location.
"What we really want to do is engage the project in different directions and different points of view," said Stephanie Hanor, senior curator at MCASD.
Hanor and Laurel Braitman, who assisted with the logistics of "Human/Nature," will be co-presenters at the first session. They will provide a 360-degree overview of the museum's role in developing the exhibition.
"One of the great pleasures I find in my job is when we open up the museum as a laboratory to artists and that's really what we did in this case," Hanor said. "This is such a great opportunity to get information not only about the exhibition but to really understand what are the different types of questions being asked as a museum, as an institution."
The single greatest factor that sets "Human/Nature" off from more traditional exhibitions is that curators had absolutely no idea what the finished project would look like. There was no predefined scope, medium or theme.
The end result included large-scale video installations, sound pieces, drawing and sculpture. Most of the art is 3-D and includes artifacts, imagery and artisan pieces from the World Heritage sites.
Upon seeing the work, Hanor said she was struck by two things: the vibrant sense of place and the provocative questions raised by the artists.
"To me, there's such a directness in what they presented in the galleries and what they really experienced," Hanor said. "They asked different questions, and I think in the way they ask those questions, they make us, as viewers, ask different questions."
Dario Robleto, a sculptor from San Antonio who will lead the second workshop, was one of the artists who participated in "Human/Nature." He journeyed twice to Waterton Glacier International Peace Park, located in Montana and Canada. Given his lifelong interest in geology and glaciers, it was an exciting opportunity.
Robleto's artwork in "Human/Nature" focuses on the inevitable loss of the glaciers and the collective mourning of this loss by mankind.
"I'm an artist that's definitely drawn to the big issues," Robleto said. "I like to find out if art can do more. Can it say anything meaningful about the environmental crisis?"

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! We had a quiet and cozy feast with just our household this year, then headed into the woods at sunset for a chilly fall hike.
Dressing the Walls
A couple of weeks, ago, I found myself sitting in the kitchen staring at a blank wall and going stir crazy. I realized I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen these days between our pre-dawn grownups breakfast, cooking and dishes, cleaning and prepping bottles, feeding the twins three meals and a snack each day, feeding the baby, and late night dinners with the Man after long work days. I wandered around the house during nap time, picked up half a dozen unused pictures, played with arrangements until I had a combination and number I liked, and hung them. Since everything is so very mismatched I think I can submit a claim for "eclectic" and get away with it.
Here's the before, with a fully authentic mid-afternoon weekday mess of paperwork, baby gear, and picture hanging supplies. We do try to clean up by dinner every night to avoid a descent into total squalor.
Here's the after (table now tidy except for one territorial dinosaur):
The pictures on the right are 1) an old print of hawks I found somewhere for a dollar or two in high school, 2) a print of the Statue of Liberty, also from my high school bedroom, and 3) a print of a castle from the Man's old apartment. This is the twins' usual highchair corner so everything needed to be attractive but replaceable. Food splatters happen.
The print on the left is a reproduction of a historic map of Vienna under siege by the Ottoman Empire. I bought it for a couple of euros when studying abroad in Vienna during college. I love maps. It's also a nice reminder of our family's beginnings since the Man and I met through his father, who was my professor in Vienna.
The light is from Ikea and replaced the old kitchen light that came with the house. I wanted something a bit warmer with a natural feel. My Dad kindly switched it out for me when my parents visited this fall. I enjoy doing electrical work, but not with small children hanging off of every limb. The light works well for us since we have plenty of alternate lighting to supplement it. It's just what I was looking for. However, if you're looking for more than a warm gentle glow this is not the fixture for you since it's only a muted single bulb.
To close, a random baby picture because I know that's why all the grandmothers read this blog :). This little one is starting to grin and coo, and weighed in at a whopping 13Lb 8oz today. Hard to believe she was a micro preemie!
The Work Crew
It's a parenting shock to turn around one day and realize that your babies have become useful. We've slogged through two years of diapers and spit up and dropped food and eager little hands pulling things off tables; we nicknamed our duo The Octopus because of their eight-limbed ability to grab everything in sight. But suddenly, the twins can DO things. Actual helpful things, not just "help" that causes twice as much work. They can clean up a room while I direct from a chair and feed the baby. They take their dirty clothes to the laundry basket. They put dirty diapers in the trash and baby bottles in the sink. They can rinse dishes (with supervision so the kitchen doesn't turn into a water park). They can put extra food in containers, unpack fruit from the grocery store, and wipe up spills on the floor. There's a long way to go yet, and Annie tends to run about six months behind her brother in new skills and abilities. Still, it's thrilling to feel the balance just beginning to shift from "adorable menace to civilization" toward "productive household contributor."
Of course, all things have a downside. Jack's increased sense of cleanliness and order means that he is also increasingly aware of disorder. His new hobby is walking around the house pointing out messes. Folding laundry on the kitchen table? The inspection committee is sure to point an accusing chubby finger and announce "uh oh, mess!" Making dinner? Expect a disapproving frown and another "Mess!" declaration over your vegetable peels and cooking utensils. Pile of medical documents? " Mess!" Mound of shoes? "Mess!" Spilled milk? "Mess!" I'm not sure if his critical eagle eye should produce pride or crushing depression, so I oscillate between the two.
Seven Quick Takes – Early Fall
1) Everybody says pushing through the little years really pays off when your older kids are big enough to babysit. They are so right! Off to dinner and a movie. Don't let the baby stay up late or watch TV, ok kids?…….maybe not….
Did I mention she's eating well? Really well? Look at that juicy baby!
2) This will be the twins' first year trick-or-treating. This will also be the first year we hand out ethically-sourced candies for Halloween. Previously, I've always bought the "normal" chocolates such as mini snickers. I saw posts and even videos about child slavery on cocoa farms and either ignored them or rolled my eyes. "It's normal for young kids to work 'over there'", "the 'fancy' chocolates are too expensive", and other excuses rolled off my lips. Perhaps it's having kids of my own that changed my mind. How could it possibly be acceptable for us to support child slavery? If a treat is only "affordable" if produced by forced child labor, our household should forego it altogether. If my kids were the ones being sold into hazardous conditions with no access to education, I would hope a mother in Africa would refuse to demand their servitude so she could buy cheap treats. We'll be handing out these mini chocolates (on sale, and quite affordable if you search google for their 10% off + free shipping coupon code) and these bulk lollipops because they had the best price per piece I could find. Tsh Oxenreider has an excellent summary of this issue and alternative sweet options for Halloween on her blog. We probably won't win any "best candy on the block" awards from the brand-loyal neighborhood kids, but I'm okay with that. Besides, I'll never beat my Great Grandmother on that count. She used to hand out full-sized candy bars. Decades later, strangers in her town would hear our last name and go starry-eyed over sugary childhood memories of her.
My family stopped celebrating Halloween when I was about eight. My parents had excellent reasons, and I respect their choice and appreciate their thoughtful approach to parenting. However, because the Man and I both loved Halloween as kids in a very innocent way – making costumes, running around the neighborhood after dark with other kids, knocking at doors for candy – we've decided to let our kids dress up and trick or treat unless we notice problems beginning to develop. Our church has a Reformation Day celebration as a Halloween alternative, but it's the one day of the year our normally sane and welcoming brethren get a little carried away with the anti-Catholic rhetoric so my (Catholic) husband and I skip the party to avoid any awkwardness.
3) The new baby. She's still cute. I'm having an embarrassingly hard time picking a blog name for her – I only like a small handful of girls' names, and want to save them for future kids. It works well for many people, but personally I find it distracting when bloggers use unusual nicknames or abbreviations for their kids: "so then RainbowToes said to DS3…" feels awkward. Meanwhile, around our house the baby is affectionately known as Winston. Our chubby-cheeked pouting infant and the chubby-cheeked pouting former Prime Minister Churchill have a lot in common. See?
4) While it's wonderful to prep meals in advance, sometimes meats cooked in a slow cooker develop an odd texture. Also, many slow cooker recipes call for shortcuts and additives that aren't particularly fresh or nutritious – packets of fake flavor, pre-canned soups, etc. In our current life Williams Sonoma's Essentials of Slow Cooking is a life saver. I bought it after checking it out from the library repeatedly. The recipes are all made-from-scratch dishes, impeccably tested, with really fantastic flavors. Each recipe has instructions for making the dish two ways – using the stove/oven or using a slow cooker. If I'm home for the day I usually prefer the oven option, but for a busy day out and about (or if your small children think the oven is fascinating), the crock pot option is handy. Because these are all dishes that need long low cooking times,they generally use less expensive meats. These meals are perfect because I can start them during nap time and not worry about any last minute prep during the daily pre-dinner triple meltdown. Last night's barbecue-style brisket was the best thing I've cooked in months. The Man put one bite in his mouth, stopped, and moaned "Wow". The toddlers and I agreed. The baby doesn't get a vote.
5) What else have we been up to? Hiking:
Visiting the farm with family:
6) Lauren sewed this gorgeous quilt for the baby. Part of her post-NICU therapy involves lots of tummy time with distracting objects for her to look at while stretching her stiff neck muscles . I think this fits the bill! Apparently it's soft and comfy, too:
7) I leave you with Super Dad. And no, he's not wearing a dress. This baby is a spitter (though not as bad as Jack, mercifully). We have to change clothes less frequently if we cover up with a beach towel during feedings.

Tender Loving Care, Jurassic Version
The new baby awakened Jack's nurturing instincts. Now that they're up and running, she's not the only recipient. Today he walked up to me tenderly cuddling his T Rex and giving it gentle kisses. When he caught my eye, he insisted I give the dinosaur a smooch as well.
A bit later, I set my hairbrush down after braiding my hair, then turned around to see him carefully brushing Rex's scales.
After his spa treatment, a morning of play, and a run to the bank, Dino joined Jack at lunch.
Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed to enjoy the roasted butternut squash and crackers Jack forked into his jaws, but he'd probably have been happier if someone had shared their chicken, too.
Lunch over, Jack sweetly snuggled his dinosaur against his shoulder just like we hold the baby for burping, then unceremoniously flung him on the floor. Toddler love is a fickle thing.
First Parade
A couple of weeks ago the Man was working a seven day stretch of call. When on call he leaves before the kids are awake and comes home after they're in bed every day. Somewhere toward the end of a week alone with little children, sanity starts to slip. In hopes of regaining it (or because I'd already lost it) I packed up the kids and took them to our town 's international festival for their first parade.
The twins viewed most of the parade with polite indifference. Annie sobbed whenever the crowd clapped or cheered (…often), but the flags, music, and dancers were a hit.
After a couple years as an interracial family we're used to gawkers. They don't bother me anymore. With twins in the stroller and a baby strapped to my chest I certainly got almost as many stares as the parade, though!
After the parade the twins and I shared tasty Indian food from the festival booths. By far their favorite treats from the festival were free sunglasses from an insurance rep, though. Stylish, no?
New Wheels
The twins turned two in September. Granny surprised them with their first trikes. Jack and Annie adore their new rides. I adore them too – I haven't had such long stretches to sit and read outside since the twins were born! They haven't figured out the pedals yet, but love scooting to the top of the driveway, then racing down its gentle slope toward the street (over and over and over…) while screaming with delight. I park the van across the street end of the driveway, then sit by it in a folding chair with a book or an infant and bottle.
We also have a new-to-us stroller courtesy of old friends. To date, when taking the three out alone I've had to carry the baby while pushing the twins in their double stroller, or have one twin walk holding on to the stroller while the baby and the other twin ride. Both options work but aren't ideal thanks to my back injuries and the distractable nature of two year olds. We spend a lot of time in doctors' offices these days, and I hate letting my toddlers out of the stroller in waiting rooms. There are so many sick people touching every surface as they, too, wait for the doctor. We're avoiding illness as much as possible this year because of the risk to the baby's immature preemie lungs. Toddlers licking germy arm rests and rolling on the floor do not help.
Most new triple strollers are very expensive, and Craigslist in our area did not have any good options. I asked for stroller reviews on facebook, and an old friend offered me a free triple stroller she'd gotten used when her bigger kids were small. My parents picked it up, vacuumed and steam cleaned it, broke it down, packed it up, and shipped it off to us. It's heavy (what would one expect when pushing three children…) but does a great job containing our herd of babies:
The twins had mixed reactions to their new sister. During a normal pregnancy there are many months to talk about a new baby, read books, and watch parents prepare the home. Even with all that warning sibling jealousy may flare. In our case, there were two weeks between "hopefully we'll adopt again in a couple of years" to "Surprise! New sister!" In addition, the twins' weren't even two yet, so they barely understood what was happening. We ordered a few books from Amazon about being big brothers and sisters ("I'm a Big Brother" by Joanna Cole, "The Berenstain Bears' New Baby", and "The New Baby" by Mercer Mayer) and read them a few times a day with the kids to introduce the idea while waiting to bring the baby back from the NICU. When we brought her home, Jack responded very well. From the books, he'd learned that you rock the baby, give her kisses, etc. and he jumped into big brother role immediately with almost no negative reactions. Annie, on the other hand, exploded. She was already upset from having Mom gone so much (the NICU was a three hour round trip away), and from having family and friends in the house caring for her (not a fan of strangers). Add in a severe speech delay that makes it hard for her to say what she thinks, plus a loud new blob disturbing her sleep, monopolizing Mom's lap, and upending the routine and Annie morphed into an outraged, screaming, tantrumming toddler. The moment we let down our guard she would try to hit the baby, claw at her face, or pull off her legs. After a week Annie started to settle down. These days, she loves her sister. At the beginning, though, one thing that helped was the classic "look, we have a new baby and she brought you each a present!" trick. The kids love helping to push the big strollers, so we got them each a doll stroller. They love racing around the neighborhood pushing their babies and stuffed animals, and the new surprises helped tire them out and keep them occupied in those first crazy new baby days before naps had developed.
The last set of new wheels around here is our van. I bought my first car, a Subaru Forester, in the half year between graduating from college and getting married. It served us well on many runs around town, cross-country road trips, back road drives, wilderness camping expeditions, and kayaking runs. In six years it hasn't had a single maintenance issue and we love it. We planned for it to be the family car, but couldn't predict that we'd start off our family with a double baby special. Suddenly, our roomy car didn't feel so roomy. There was no room for a third car seat in the back, even with the twins strapped into the narrowest car seats on the market. When we found out we were adopting again we had to get a new, three-kid capable car in a rush. After a lot of research and test driving we settled on a Honda Odyssey. My pride hurts a bit at moving from an SUV to a minivan, but it's an ideal car for hauling a host of young kids, with plenty of room to carry visitors and accommodate future children.
All in all that's…how many new wheels around here? 22?
Here's a gratuitous baby shot to wrap things up:

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Macmillan improves the lives of people affected by cancer locally. We provide practical, medical, emotional and financial support and push for better cancer care. Cancer affects us all. We can all help. We are Macmillan in Worcestershire.
November is lung cancer awareness month.
Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. It is one of the hardest types of cancer to diagnose and has a poor survival rate so it is really important to be aware of the signs and symptoms to look out for.
Kay Whitby is a Macmillan Lung Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist based at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch. Kay's role is to support lung cancer patients throughout their cancer journey. She is there when they are first referred to the hospital from their GP, and when they receive their diagnosis, she talks to them about treatment options. She also supports with advice around how to manage the side effects of cancer and its treatment including pain and breathlessness.
Kay signposts her patients to support available in their local community such as counseling and complimentary therapy, or the Macmillan CAB Service to support with the financial impact of cancer. Her role is central to the co-ordination of care for patients and offers support for the entire process from diagnosis to survivorship or end of life care.
Kay says, "The best part of my job is meeting a variety of patients, and providing support and information which helps them cope with the devastating news that they have cancer. Gaining their trust and empowering them to make difficult decisions and have difficult conversations with their loved ones."
Mandy was initially diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2012, however in April 2014 she received another diagnosis of lung cancer that had also reached her brain. Kay was with her from this second diagnosis and has been supporting Mandy and her family ever since. She says, "Kay is wonderful, she is approachable and friendly and she is always there whenever I need her support."
For Mandy's husband Alan, Kay has been invaluable too. He says, "She has been there for us at every stage of this journey, providing advice whenever we needed it, and helping to co-ordinate all of Mandy's care. It's often difficult to know who to ask for help but Kay has been there to help us get the answers we need. Mandy is more than just a patient to her, she's a person and Kay knows us and understands our needs."
The symptoms of lung cancer may include:
If you have any of the above symptoms for more than three weeks, it's important to have them checked by your GP. All of these symptoms can be caused by illnesses other than cancer but they still need to be checked.
If you have questions about cancer, or want to find out more about signs and symptoms of lung cancer visit www.macmillan.org.uk| or call Macmillan free on 0808 808 00 00.

In addition to the medical support we offer, Worcestershire patients benefit from the support of Macmillan's emotional and financial support services.
These include the telephone support line, which is free to call and can help with general information and advice about cancer, on 0808 808 0000, offering specialist advice about benefits and youth advice for children and young people affected by cancer.
We can signpost to the following information and well being services based within the county;
Macmillan also funds a patient welfare grant scheme, which in 2013 alone gave a total of £73,393 in one-off grants to 260 county patients who were in financial hardship. This has supported requests for fuel bill payments, clothing and house hold equipment such as washing machines and bedding.
As you can see from the current team of health care professionals listed above, the people of Worcestershire benefit from a wealth of experienced and professional cancer care specialists. With your support, we can help to increase the range of nursing support we can offer in our local community.

NOTE - This article was written, and should have published back in September. It seems it got lost in the ones and zeros...
At the time of balance of the year, I look to nature to see the importance of balance in our lives. In this harvest season it's easy to look to the bountiful fields and the food on our tables as proof of the benefits of balance.
In the Norse tradition Thor is, besides being a mighty warrior, the Lord of Storms. By his presence or absence we get rain and fair weather. Thus, he would be praised for both bringing rain and snow, and for sunny days. Sif, his wife, is a goddess of the fields. Her golden hair (get it right Marvel!) is representative of ripened grains.
Their relationship is a thing of Balance. If there is not enough rain the grain will not grow, if there is too much it rots in the fields. Throughout the winter the soil rests to prepare for the next growing season. Their partnership has space. This is the lesson of the Autumn Equinox, establish balance in order to create fruitfulness.
We gathered for a large feast, think early Thanksgiving, to share in the fruits of the second harvest. This piece was an offering to the Patrons of the rite - Thor and Sif. That is to say, it went up in flames. We got a good omen, and had a fantastic night of food and fellowship. Sacred stitchery has become one of my favorite things!

Gnomes - Part 1 - Shirts
As any crafty person knows, making gifts for the Yuletide starts in January. However, this is the season to kick it into high gear. I, for one, detest seeing Christmas stuff out before the first of December, but it does remind me to get moving on the making!
This year as a gift for most of my dear friends I am creating little gnomes, in the Tomte tradition of the north. We could all use a house helper no? These will be entirely woolen, the bodies felted and attached to these wee shirts.
I decided to break up the tedium, and encourage creativity by making this a learning experience. I dug out an old pamphlet of embroidery stitches, and I'm trying to incorporate new and different stitches into each shirt. I'm not sure how many I will end up with, one can cut out an awful lot of little shirts from a single piece of felt...

Spinzilla... it's a monster! RAWR!
This year's Spinzilla challenge was much tougher than previous years'. No, the objective was still to spin the most yards, but now we had a baseline. Goals were set, records prepared to be shattered. Strategies and preparations were made, we got hyped up. While I was going thru my fiber stash I found this little gem, the first yarn I spun on this wheel! It's random wool that came with the machine, and I still haven't knit with it... (let's not talk about my stash problems.)
Since Team Fancy Tiger won last year, we had the pressure to repeat our victory. There was shit talking, well as much as some nice crafting ladies and gents can do...
My first bobbin, and about my largest! I discovered that my bulky flyer can hold about 13 oz. of sock weight singles, which is way too much for our counting helpers to handle at once! After this I would give smaller bobbins over to them for winding off...
For the most part I was spinning thru a bunch of alpaca given to me by Mr. Crafty, some Gotland greys from New Zealand, and the mystery wool I bought in Ireland. Thus, that pile of finished objects is pretty plain in color. But I did have a few colorful braids given to me!
My final total was 6756 yards, 7 lbs. of fiber. 7 breeds, 2 species, 3 countries of origin, 5 natural colors. Half of the fiber was hand processed by me. One spinner who is looking forward to knitting for a while...
Team Fancy spun over 171,000 yards, which is almost 100 miles of yarn. We have our work cut out for us next year!

VIking Sweater
Betsala's project on Ravelry, a brilliant take on an oversized drop sleeve sweater. I picked up large quantities of Imperial Ranch yarn on sale, one skein goes a long way and I got several! As always, I needed to change every last thing about the design, I never follow patterns! I have grown fond of yoked increases, so I spotted a nice chart for my fingering yarn. (in Norwegian of course, no matter for the chart tho.)
I ended up re-doing the chart, simple because the "x" in a grid is hell on the eyes after a short while! The chart itself was not difficult to follow, but very time consuming, and it needed plenty of table space! Each round on the sweater involved doing four passes of the chart, back and forth for the mirroring. The upside is that a pictorial chart like this makes it very easy to see if you're doing it right!
Below that I did two repeats of Furthak runes, charted myself. They are all straight lines, so it's not that hard!
As for the sleeves (It's soooo sad to get to the bottom of the body and realize, with horror, that the sleeves are yet to come. *sigh*) I decided to go with the traditional "lice pattern". Sounds tasty? I'm guessing that's why many fiber people just call it a Setesdal. It's nice and simple, but still involves the stranded carry, for extra warmth.
The bottom of the sleeves and body had a basic colorwork pattern from the Setesdal Sweater book I picked up in Norway.
Then I tested it out by going in to the high mountains and drinking, just like a Norsewoman.
But wait, there's more! (Yarn, that is. I told you, these skeins are huuuge!) I was digging the red and black, and I do enjoy colorwork. It's super warm and sturdy. I pulled up ye olde Deathflake, and found a chart for some mittens. As I cannot stand to simple knit a pattern straight thru (see above), and Mr. Crafty prefers gloves, I gave them a split finger. Perfect for cycling in the cold!

Celtic Knot Capelet
I've been sitting on this lovely Donegal Tweed Aran since returning home from Ireland last year (no, not literally sitting, it's been in bins...) and I gave myself the challenge to start working thru all my "souvenirs". I had not quite enough for a regular sweater, so a capelet seemed suitable.
I wanted to keep in the spirit of the yarn's homeland, but cables are not my style. The Celtic Knot Hat seems to be the only colorwork celtic knot pattern on Ravelry! It's a rather nice one, so not really much to complain about...
I did a spaced increase system for the yoke, knitting 2 rows then make one every 2 stitches, knitting 3 rows then make one every 3 stitches etc... up to 10. I still did increases the whole way down to give it a slight flare. When I had used up most of my yarn I did the knot pattern along the bottom, and finished it off with a few rows of seed stitch.
Before steeking the front I did four rows of slip stitch crochet, one on the first column of knit stitches to either side of the steek rows, then it was turned inside out and one row was done into the side of each column of purl stitches.
After the steek was cut I picked up a few stitches and made two button straps to close the front. Here it is washed and blocking. (The exchange student has moved out, and I'm only a little ashamed to admit I'm happy to have a spare bed for blocking things again...)

Plant Dyes - Bindweed
Another round of plant dying experiments. This time I'm targeting perhaps the most plentiful plant material on our property - Bindweed. That's right, I wasn't neglecting my weeding, I was collecting important dyestuffs!
In to a pot it went, covered with water and boiled for several hours, then left overnight.
In to a pot it went, covered with water and boiled for several hours, then left overnight.
My resource is an old book, perfect for my project! Rocky Mountain Dye Plants by Anne Bliss (What a great name!) It has a broad swath of plants, identification information, and descriptions of the colors achieved with different mordents.
The fibers are Lincoln roving, Norwegian top spun chunky, and 2-ply Irish wool, plus some crewel wool.
First, the wool must be soaked, then simmered in alum as a mordent. While that was happening I removed the plant material from the dye pot, as bindweed is a tangly mess it was pretty easy! As always, a few leafy bits remained.
I simmered the wool on low for several hours, then left it overnight again to cool. The color hadn't deepened much since the day before.
It took several rinses to remove the excess dye, but the color didn't fade in the least!

Schacht - Can You Dig It?
A few weeks back I took part in a marathon crafting extravaganza known as Spinzilla. We spun for seven days straight, and Team Fancy Tiger created a total of 171,492.6 yards of yarn, that's 97 miles in case you're wondering. That's the distance from Denver to Vail, New York City to Philadelphia, and (so my military historian partner tells me) the range of large artillery.
On the last day of the challenge Schacht, a local spinning and weaving equipment company, sponsored a spin-in and the Denver Art Museum. Between the camaraderie and the shit-talking we struck up conversation with some of the folks from the factory, and they invited us to come have a tour!

The Stuff article reads: "people are said to be frustrated with the low quality of public spaces" and "45,000 people are expected to live in the CBD by 2032" and "city leaders are concerned by the lack of open space for the expected influx". The Stuff text explains the origins of the news article:
"Several public spaces and projects are up for discussion in a new online survey at shapeauckland.co.nz. This follows the release of the Downtown Framework in September, a blueprint for what Auckland's central city could look like with some development. Twelve projects, including redesigning Lower Queen St, Queens Wharf and Quay St into shared spaces for people and vehicles, are included in the framework. Auckland's design champion Ludo Campbell-Reid says giving people a "Koru Lounge bus service" on Lower Albert St and making parts of the city more friendly will give Auckland a competitive edge globally. The future of the central wharves, including Captain James Cook and Princes, could become public space....."I lwas interested in the comment attributed to Ludo, "....Princes Wharf could become public space...".
Man! That's a stretch of imagination. Be great to see something done to fix this loss of public space.
The Stuff article is based on a media release from Ludo. He's championing the sale of Queen Elizabeth Square essentially - and hoping that this might/could/can be translated into better public spaces elsewhere in the CBD and waterfront area.
The Downtown Framework can be seen here. I have gone through this document in some detail and blogged about the area here and here. My planner's reactions to the Downtown Framework are summarised in these bullets:
• Overall, the Framework is a good start.Referring again to Ludo's picture (at the top of this post - I don't know for sure if it's Ludo's picture, but I'm sure he will tell me if he didn't provide it to Stuff.). If you're an architect or a planner you will know two things to be suspicious about when considering an artist's urban plan conception:
• The geographic scope for the Framework is excellent. It allows for integrated evaluation and assessment of the key projects and transformation opportunities in the downtown waterfront CBD area.
• Similarly, the Downtown Projects list is comprehensive, and includes the removal of the Hobson Flyover, the redevelopment of the downtown carparking building, and potential redevelopment of Copthorne Hotel.
• Great to see the Beach Road cycle infrastructure.
• However the Downtown Framework is vulnerable to critique that its purpose is PRIMARILY: to enable CRL enabling works, to facilitate Downtown development, AND to justify the sale of QE Square land.
• There is too much emphasis in the framework narrative that it is for cruise ship visits and for international investment. This is old style urban regeneration. Modern planning should place emphasis on local place-making that meets the social and cultural needs of Auckland's population, and deliver strong sustainability.
• Major gap is handling of Custom Street and Quay Street. Simply lacks credibility that can achieve "de-tuned" Quay Street AND improved North South pedestrian amenity at Queen and Albert intersections with Custom Street, without major intervention for general traffic and buses.
• The Framework text, direction and themes all prioritise CRL enabling works and development, and characterise public spaces, parks and squares as playing second fiddle, supporting role only. There is a significant planning imbalance, despite the advice given by Reset Urban Design.
• No account is given of method for handling traffic movements in and out of downtown development and their effect on either Custom Street or Lower Albert which is to be taken up with a bus interchange. In fact there is very poor engagement with buses.
• There is no discussion of impact for pedestrians on Britomart laneways following their conversion to bus interchange status.
• Very poor engagement with Maori dimension.
• Greenwash engagement with strong sustainability.
• There is no vision statement of look, feel, mood. We know post 1960's Auckland was built in a rush, without parks and public spaces, priority given to commerce and cars. Other cities had the same problem. This is Auckland's opportunity to address those deficiencies – as identified by Reset urban Design. The framework suggests options without providing detail suggesting their low priority.
- is it shown at night? (does it need bright lights and christmas trees to make it look good)
- is it full of happy people? (what attracts them and keeps them, and makes them happy)
Does it show Ludo's Koru Lounge Bus Experience on Lower Albert? (Answer: no.) And by the way did the Downtown Framework show the Koru Lounge Bus Experience on Lower Albert? (Answer: no, there was no credible indication at all in the Downtown Framework how bus services would be handled when they have been bundled out of Lower Queen Street (as shown in Ludo's picture, and as examined here.)). To date, disappointingly, even transportblog is persuaded by Ludo's picture.
So. What might be best practice? What can we learn from international experience? According to experts, during the latter part of the twentieth century, while a small number of exemplar city centre squares continued to be attractive places, the vast majority acquired either an image of empty spaces or an unattractive picture as traffic islands. This was emphasised by the decline of traditional community activities (markets, fairs, playgrounds) and the perception of comfort generated by internalising external space (malls, gated shopping centres); coupled with a commodifying of cities in which they were merely viewed as commercial and retail opportunities. Communities need public spaces as places for assembly. They are the physical manifestation that communities are coherent and vibrant. Increasingly, it is being recognised that identity and place have enormous roles in reinforcing society. The re-introduction of public squares is part of reversing the erosion of the public sector and the public realm, and reclaiming city centres from private interests for the benefit of communities....
That's an extract from the abstract to a piece of research by Giddings et al: Here's more of what these experts are saying:
"...The loss of the city squares as places for citizens, seemed to hasten the commodifying of cities in which they were viewed merely as commercial and retail opportunities; and the downgrading of the public realm by privatisation. Modern landmarks started to reflect the values of commercialism, where offices and retail units replaced buildings that were more representative of society. City streets and squares were covered-in by malls. These have the illusion of being public, especially as they occupy public space, but are operated by the private sector (Giddings et al, 2005). There also grew a perception, mainly emanating from the United States that public spaces were dangerous places. Fear of crime began to deter people from using them (Woolley et al, 2004). Much of this negative perception was aimed at young people, and notions such as urban youth culture, clientele of the young with large disposable income (Worpole and Knox, 2007), and youthful playscapes (Chatterton and Hollands, 2002) dominating city centres, encouraged increasing privatisation. Often the process happened through public-led urban regeneration initiatives, with resulting developments being owned and managed by private landlords who have the power to restrict access and control activities (Minton, 2006). It also enabled the private sector to operate a form of social control through segregation; and the attendant growth in private security enabled a reduction in police costs. Private developments on public space provided a further income for the city authorities through the tax base, as well as offering profitable ventures for private enterprises. What was left of public space was often rented-out by local governments for commercial purposes; and what has been termed cafe-creep (Kohn, 2004), spread commercial interests even deeper into the public realm...."What we need in Auckland's CBD are a variety of public spaces and places and squares and plazas. We don't just need waterfront places. We don't just need places with bars or with cafes or with shopping. We need places that are great in the morning. We need places that are great in the evening. We need places that attract young people. We need places that attract families. We need diversity of public space provision.
One thing we don't need is to sell public places that we own.
Remember: Quay Street, Lower Albert Street, Admiralty Steps, Queens Wharf, Princes Wharf, Captain Cook Wharf .... all of these places and spaces are already in public ownership.
Keep Queen Elizabeth Square in public ownership. If you - you who are reading this posting - have concerns about rushing off to sell QE Square then make a submission. You have until December 12th to do so. Have your say.
And, Ludo, why don't you listen to the public space feedback Council commissioned and that's on your website and researched by Buzz Channel (byline: The Art of Listening Made Simple.)...?
