I'm waiting and waiting to feel good.... I know it will happen. One of these days, I'll wake up, and I'll feel better. Today was a little better than yesterday

Congratulations to Ben... give him a kiss from me. It's a slow road back... some pretty heavy stuff has been pushed into you... You need to treat yourself gently. It will all come back... and your life will taste sweeter than ever before. You also have an awful lot of lovely people around you wishing you well and supporting you! Keep me posted on your celebratory 'it's done' party... I would love to be there to celebrate with you! xoxoxoxo
Congrats on being done with chemo. You are truly a rock star.... I wish I could be there for Ben's knighting. I am so happy for him and so proud of my brother too. Sounds like the weekend will be celebrations all around.
Afterward she took me to a fabric store to buy me something to celebrate being finished- and they had mudcloth from Mali. It's a cloth that is dyed using iron-rich mud which is painted on. I got a piece- so beautiful. I'm going to put together an african costume. Fun!
I don't know what sort of angle you're thinking of on the costume, but this book
Bolland, Rita. 1991. Tellem Textiles: Archaeological finds from burial caves in Mali's Bandiagara Cliff. Amsterdam: Royal Tropical Institute. ISBN 90-6832-224-9
has photos and construction diagrams of a whole bunch of surviving garments from 11-16th c. Mali. Alas, I think the vast majority of the contents are male garments, but it still might be useful. UC Berkeley has a copy in the library.
An African costume?? I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see you, period. I wish you'd be in town when I'm there in August!! I guess I'll have to come to SF more regularly, huh? :)
