Long Thread, Lazy Girl

Lazy, all my life.  Even my name, Susan.  Lazy Susan.  I used to protest, but I know it fits me.  Lazy is my nature.  The adage long thread, lazy girl chastises the girl that puts too long a thread in her needle, so she won't have to rethread so often.  I  habitually try to get away with doing less.

And yet, I manage to work productively,  even happily.  Cursing when my long thread knots, and I have to rethread anyway.  Weaving and needling paper rya knots today,  dipping the Finnish paper yarn in water, watching the morning sun light filtered through the paper petals I'm weaving.  Lazily.
