Weaving Life Lately

On a personal note things have been changing in my life which has affected my production of goods for many of my upcoming projects. They are still in process though its just going to be at a much slower pace. I have been working and focusing on finances as keeping my current address is paramount in making things. So that has stolen some production time as of late. Paying all the bills to get things caught up from last years unemployment has been a daunting task.

Though not to be down trodden in the world of money, I have been discovering the world of weaving. I just learned how to thread my 4 heddle loom to make a simple tabby weave. I am working on two ply mixed yarn to weave out a very interesting fabric. Not sure this is going to be made into at this point but very excited. Though my uncanny color matching skill do not go unpracticed as over the memorial day weekend matched these up to figure out a new project. Sleeves, Elizabethan sleeves in fact.  I also been figuring out various sleeve patterns to make Elizabethan tie on sleeves for gentry wear outfits for sometime. So working out the length and scope on these smaller projects. More of a good test of proper handwork.

 The silk fashion doll is coming along slowly and working on the many levels to that one project. Though spreading my focus keeps me from getting grim on one project. Hope to have more to post soon in the meantime, staying focused on the dream

Ever so busy,
