Photo taken in New York, June 1958 (?)

I’m not quite sure of the date I took this photo but I was in New York to meet my mother coming off a cruise ship. Had she cruised on the Queen Mary? I don’t know.

Fond memories but which cat was it?!

Detail of one of my handwoven rugs

Note attached to back of above photo

So much for remembering my weaving. I have no memory of weaving this rug. It must have been at least 25 or 30 years ago before I sold my big Glimakta loom. Some events in the past just seem to somehow fuse together.
