Yes.  After spending hours hauling water and firewood and grinding corn for 
tortillas, they sit on the ground and attach their looms to a post or tree 
and spend more hours weaving cloth.  Then they take the cloth and spend 
weeks embroidering it by firelight after they have put the kids to 
bed.  The art of the weaving and embroidering is their pride.
