Hello world/adios Jan

It is strange that the day I finally decide to start my blog is the same day I found out that my friend Jan Boyer died several months ago. Jan was instrumental in introducing me to the world of dyeing and surface design. I was the fortunate recipient of her dyes when she decided that she had become super sensitive to mx dyes. As it turned out- her challenge turned out to be long undiagnosed Lyme's Disease. What a tragic loss to the world. I am generally a believer in "you get what you earn." In Jan's case I think that rule can't be right. Perhaps this is the first instance for myself of seeing that maybe life often just isn't fair. I hope to see more "life is fair" to compensate for this loss. Jan- you are truly missed.
