Well finally I am back here again. It is Valentine's Day so I will wish everyone sweet wishes today.
The scarfs in the photos are pieces that I made for the November 2011 Edmonton Weavers Guild Sale. The pink one didn't sell and I am happy because it matches my winter jacket. I feel very dressed up when I wear this one. This was one of the projects that I worked on during the summer of mad felting with friends. The warm deck was just the place to do this work - me rolling felt underfoot while reading 'girly' novels. I must have read quite a bit because I did produce quite a few scarfs like these.
There was quite a bit of interest from guild members about the technique that I used to produce these scarfs. As a result of that, I have been invited to teach this technique. I call the class 'Fabulous Felted Fusion'. The class will take place on March 17th at our guild home. At the time of writing, the class is full. There is still interest from several potential students so hopefully the class will be held again later in the year.
As I write this my sweetheart is having his afternoon siesta. He has had a tough year end with a slip on the ice resulting in broken ribs and punctured lung. He is taking care of himself now and hopefully recovered from that escapade. He needs a vacation.
I am madly knitting tiny socks for my new wee 'great' nephew born on January 27th. Photos of those will be in an upcoming posting.
I have been working on a mapping project in my journal this year. I have been inspired by Jill Berry in an online workshop as well as her book, Personal Geographies. Now I am seeing 'everything' looking like maps. I wonder what kind of a map I can make from the baby socks? Have a look at Jill's blog and website. Try some 'mapping' and let me know what you come up with. I will post some of my maps in upcoming days. It seems that I have much to show but in the meantime I had better get at my work. Send me photos of your projects.
