All Queued Up
Two and a half sessions at the loom and the cream warp is history. 🙂 Next…RED! Again. I figure I’ve got enough yarn left on the tubes to do a 40 yard warp, which ought to also use up the last of the doubled singles 24 linen. And if the linen runs out before the…

Stacked
Having done an inventory of what I’ve got ready for the fall shows, I was able to tell what colours I needed to make in order to have a good selection for sale. While Mary was here, I wound warps and here are five ready to go. I also noticed I was low on natural…

Very Nearly
Once I can see the knots and the guide strings through the warp I know I’m nearly done. And not before time, either, as I’m getting a wee bit tired of this rose warp. On the other hand, the biggest investment made in a hand woven fabric is setting up the loom so it only…

Change of Pace
In years past, I would scramble like a mad woman trying to get one more, one more, one more warp woven off in time for the shows. After 6 years of dealing with health issues (and the fatigue from the undiagnosed issues for several years before that) I think I am finally learning that there…

Studio Fair – Day One
Another weekend, another fair. Over all look at my booth. I have way too much inventory – hope people will fall in love with some of it and give it new homes.

Missed Deadlines
three last painted warps for scarves One thing about being self-employed is that you have to be self-motivated. I find one way to do that is to have very clear goals and a time frame in which I want to achieve them. So deadlines are my friend. Even though they are self-imposed, they help to…

Day One
View from the bleachers in the Winter Garden Floor level shot – other end For the first time the University allowed us to unload and bring everything in the night before the show. It made things so much easier! We didn’t set out any product but got the booth up, the lights installed and…
