  • A Little Help from my Friends

    A Little Help from my Friends

    Today, in between dealing with Life, unpacking, sorting, beginning to re-pack (for Victoria and ANWG), get ready for Mary’s one day workshop The Empress’ Tea Cup (silk, silk and more silk) we wound up with a few minutes in which we could retreat from the madding crowd. Mary sorted through the 2/8 cotton, getting colours…

    Crunchy

    The above is a close up of wool fibre.  The scales are very apparent seen this close up. Thinking about teaching the upcoming class while I dress the loom once again.  I like to leave a warp ready to go so that I can just jump on the loom as soon as I get home.…

    Passionate

    Me, probably off on a tangent… So what are the odds of everything going smoothly when I travel to teach?  50-50.  Either they will…or they won’t. And when they don’t, they usually don’t in a rather spectacular fashion. I’ve grown used to things not being ideal.  You learn to get flexible very quickly, or you…

  • Packing

    Packing

    This trip is a little different from my usual.  Olds College puts teachers up in their student condos which have kitchens…but no dishes.  Since three of my roommates are flying in and I’m driving, I am also bringing cups, cutlery, coffee and tea makings.  I will be adding extra blankets because the beds only come…

    The Things We Do For Love

    I am still in the collecting phase of packing.  There are a few more items that need to go into the pile, partly because they are studio items that I am using, still, while frantically weaving as much as I can before I leave. This trip involves flying from one small remote airport to another…

    Stocking Up

    This is warp #8 in the series of towel warps I’ve been winding.   I’m struggling to finish the warp on the AVL – but need to get it off soon so I can weave other things.  I’m struggling to use up stash.  But that means buying more yarn to use up the yarn that…
