The years have gone by quickly and many changes have taken place since my last post. I have remarried and moved. Gained a great studio space for my many passions, painting, weaving, knitting machines, quilting, etc. and have settled(?) into a life of retirement. I acquired a used (1976 60″ Cranbrook loom and have taken Jason Collingwood’s rug weaving “3-end Boundweave” class. So now my studio includes 3 looms, 4 knitting machines, 3 sewing machines, watercolors, and acrylic to round out my creative endeavors. Oh yes, there is tapestry going on over there and some embroidery in the house, did I mention the spinning wheel and the stash of wool waiting to be spun? Maybe I’ll work some of that into that tapestry…………. huuuummmm.
What is going on now? There are dish towels on the small loom in a Rosepath pattern, just began those yesterday. Tapestry ready to begin, wound the balls of wool last night. Getting ready to wind the warp for the rug loom since I just took off the last rug of the last warp. And finishing the warp that my granddaughter started for some wall hangings for her room. The embroidery is on hold for now. I will work on that while my hubby is laid up from his surgery which takes place this Friday.
I am sure your lives have taken on new priorities over the past few years also. If you would like to share some of that I would love to hear your stories.
