Chaos
A certain amount of chaos abounds in the studio today. I’ve been getting the workshop materials ready for the Magic in the Water workshop in Langley, BC in early April. I really wish I could be more ‘organized’ but when there isn’t enough room to have everything nice and neat and tidy on shelves, you…

Bittersweet
This week is bittersweet. On the one hand I’m about half way through chemotherapy and I have survived the last 3 months continuing to weave, at least a little bit, almost every day. (I did ‘lose’ Saturday as I spent most of the day in bed after cycle #4.) And I still have (most of)…

New Directions?
Next warp on the AVl – 2/20 mercerized cotton in two shades of red. I’ve been on a mission for several years now to drastically reduce my stash. I’ve also been looking for new directions to go with my weaving. Sometimes one just has to wait until the universe (or whomever) gets things aligned. This…

I agreed and offered that the reward…

Greying Weavers, Young Weavers
Yesterday Mizz B came and helped Doug unload the van, then she helped me sort through the spinning fibres so I could take an inventory. Today sometime I will be updating my website with the actual numbers of what is available. After dinner Doug and I took the stack of bins and boxes to the…

Necessity
One of the challenges when one is using up stash is that at times there might not be quite enough of the yarn/colour needed to complete a warp. :} Once this lovely pale blue and lavender warp was wound, I looked at what was left over and decided there wasn’t enough of the pale blue…
