So I've been having some, um, connectivity problems. A few weeks ago the internet stopped working - so when I paid my bill the next day I asked if there was some kind of problem with my account. I was told everything was fine and given a number to call for technical support. A week later, with no change, I found out that in fact my internet was cut off because apparently I have only been paying half my bill for the past six months. (I should explain that my typical bill paying experience is: 1. Walk into internet company office, 2. Ask how much I owe for the month, and 3. Pay what they tell me to.)
But that's ok. Insha'llah it'll get sorted out today. Maybe.
In the meantime I have been hosting lots of folks from around the region, appearing on surprise documentary film interviews (anyone detecting a pattern? Apparently March is my surprise interview month), applying for a grant to organize some workshops for my ladies about natural dyes and some new weaving designs and techniques, and working on this, our brand-new website for selling carpets!
So take a look at our stuff, and forward the link on to any textile-lovers or carpet-importers you may know! Things are getting exciting around here. Last Sunday the weavers took home earnings from their carpets for the first time. It was an incredibly fulfilling moment, one I'm still trying to find the right words for.
But in the meantime, I need to hit the road so I can do some bureaucratic wrestling with my local telecom company...
Also,
GO HEELS!!!
