Sassy is committed to becoming a Saori weaver. Grounded in basic weaving techniques the secret will be to follow the yellow brick road and no longer work from a preconceived pattern... thereby repeating another weaver's design. Oh my soul! Years of being a conforming perfectionist will have to give way to intuition and playfulness. A Depression child mentality of "don't waste, follow the recipe" needs to disappear.
Year 76 has started with joyful first step.
