What They’re Weaving Now

Last night my husband Barry and I watched a documentary, “The Little Red Truck” www.thelittleredtruck.com which chronicled a children’s outreach theatre organization, the Missoula Children’s Theatre www.mctinc.org based in Missoula, Montana. This has nothing to do with weaving, but something one of the founders, Jim Carson, said in the video paralleled what I feel about teaching weaving to the boys at Mountview. That is, it’s not about theatre (or weaving), but about the one kid that gains more confidence in themselves from his/her involvement in the program. This certainly echoes my feelings exactly, as well as the reward I feel as I see them create successful projects, improve their technique, help each other, and treat each other with mutual respect. I suppose it’s not unusual that I feel that I gain as much from them as they do from me. I thought I'd share some of their current projects with you. Aren't they making super progress?
