That is how I hang them. The other alternative is to have them on their own little pillow or in a group in a bowl.<BR/><BR/>I remeber reading the blessing story and ment to add blessing, but , of course, forgot.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-1148477620249144262006-05-24T10:33:00.000-03:002006-05-24T10:33:00.000-03:00Wow again!

I especially love this part..<BR/><BR/>"About a month ago I was talking to a Japanese woman who told me about the "Blessings" She said "my Grandmother makes those (temari) in Japan. She always puts a blessing in the ball under the wraps where it can't be found. The Japanese people believe that as you make a ball you are thinking good thoughts of the person who will receive it and because the blessing is silent it goes to Buddah (God). He keeps it in his heart. You as the recipient must look to Budah (God) for all blessings because you know not which one you are to receive." I thought it was a charming concept and have included a "Blessing" inside all of the Temari Balls I make."

Maybe so...The spider web is my own personal design. Maybe someone out there has stitched a spider web, but I've never seen it. I have always liked spiders and spider webs. They are sacred in my house ( anything that eats mosquitos is sacred in my house). I am a weaver and so freely assiciate with Arachane, that mythic weaver. Even before I was a weaver, I loved the spider web motif. I remember walking with a friend on the Westmorland Street Bridge in August (spider month here) one year and realizing that the orb spiders were building webs between the rails next to the side walk on the bridge. I was facinated! My friend was totally grossed out and pratically ran off the bridge. I stayed to watch. I have instilled a sence of wonder instead of fear as far as natural creatures and processes go. Spiders catch and eat meat, and guess what??? So do we!!
