The ladies from the studio and I are plugging along on our plans and designs for the market next week. Wow, where did October go? 

We're very excited about the market and can't wait for you to see our booth and our work, some of which is new new stuff that you haven't seen in the shop. We hope you'll come visit...oh and by the way, we'll be handing out coupons for 10% off our handwoven items in the shop. 

Other things I've been doing:
  • stomping in the rain with my new boots.
  • weaving
  • visiting with friends and eating delicious things
  • planning my new projects
  • also preparing some work for the annual Capilano Student Sale on November 20 (more on that later)
  • watching Downton Abbey (oy did I cry!)

Ok, well, I'm off to prep another warp and weave.

PS the pics are of the scarves that were pictured wet in a previous post...I'm really happy with the way they turned out. I love the effect of playing with different thickness and types of yarns. 


 
 
I would really like this to be my last move...I know it's not but really. This time around it felt like way more work and we moved into a smaller place so it's taking some creativity to get things to fit. We still have boxes around of course but we've put a big dent in the pile.

Some exciting things happening this fall that I am in planning mode for. Also this month I'm going on an Alaskan cruise for a week. It's a kind of family cruise thing with my husband's family. I've never been on a cruise and I'm not sure that I would ever just book one on my own but I'm excited about this. Mostly cause we're also taking a helicopter trip to a glacier! Whee!

Tomorrow is Friday! Haps for the weekend.

I'm currently in the middle of packing and sorting, we're moving next week and there is so much to do. I decided that with this move that I would not move anything that I didn't want to keep so that means hours of sorting, donating, recycling, etc... It's a bit overwhelming but yesterday for the first time I actually felt like I was getting somewhere...yay me!

I've had to put current projects on hold until the move but I hope to get back at it as soon as we're all settled.

Can you believe that July is almost over? Yikes.

Plants

I really love plants and flowers but alas I am not of the gifted when it comes to growing. I try.

We received a few lovely plants as wedding gifts, they are so lovely. I really hope they stay around because I really like having them in our front window.

I'll be weaving all day today. It's raining again in Vancouver. We really haven't had much of a summer yet but there is a rumour that it may start to get nice this week! I sure hope so, I'm still wearing layers.

Happy Monday Dears.

I've been going hard for the last little while, counting threads, timing dye pots, accounting, blah blah blah...but I also have been doing some fun stuff too (well fun to me anyway)...including:
  •  pulling super soft white hats over my eyes
  • watching numerous hours of Six Feet Under
  • dreaming of the episodes I just watched of Six Feet Under (really, this is a profound show where the acting is amazing!)
  • cooking fancy, time consuming meals
  • picking my neighbour's flowers (just kidding)
  • surfing etsy
  • tweeting
  • reading (just finished The Mammoth Hunters...Ayla rules!)
  • scrubbing things (you know, the floor, the bath tub, pots, pans...it's really rewarding. Whaaaaat?!?)
  • eating berries
  • making ice cream (ok so I haven't broken out the Donvier in a while but I dream of it!)
Ok, kind of a boring list but it's my list and I stand by it.
