Slow Fashion
"Thus slow is about a shift from quantity to quality...
where pleasure and fashion is linked with awareness and
responsibility. Slow fashion is all about choice, information,
cultural diversity and identity.
Yet perhaps most critically, is it's also about balance.
Slow Fashion supports our psychological needs
(to form identity, communicate with others, be creative through our clothes)
as well as our material needs (to keep warm
and protect us from extremes of climate)." Kate Fletcher.

Spinning out of Control
Taking up spinning classes at the Handspinner's Guild; thought I might not be so in to it, but being in that beautiful and historical building, working on those old wheels, learning this art, is a joy!!, and it's a help to balance the stress of meeting delivery schedules. Can't speed up this process, just have to work longer hours into the night to finish the work.
