Progress - Slow

On Wednesday I was in Cambridge listening to lectures on radio-astronomy - an old friend has died and this was a celebration of his life. A long drive there and back. On Thursday I drove for five hours in getting my car to the Saab garage in Droitwich, having it serviced and MOT'd and negotiating nasty road works on both trips. Terrible waste of time.

But today I went to my class at Bourneville and peace reigned. I have done a piece based on bark and yes the piece is not rectangular.  Advice from the class was to add some beads (very small) to add texture. So I dropped into Hobbycraft on the way home. I have also started on a calico shopper for my daughter with dark purple Tall Bearded irises on both sides. Coming on nicely and I hope to do some more this evening.

The Woven Shibori Handout has been circulated and emails are coming in fast saying 'Yes please I will do the Monk's Belt'. The class is only two weeks away and my poor Voyager is in pieces while still being warped up. I thought I would be clever and shift some heddles between shafts while it was still warped up. Now I have a heap of stuff on the table. I am not decided yet whether it is less effort to try to rescue the situation without the need to warp up again or not. But it has to be done next week.
