Had to start something new for the spring...and I'm taking a trip in late June to see my brother and SIL in Boulder and I want to take them some towels. I figure if she doesn't like these she can always re-gift them! So working on 12 of these and will do some of these as stripes and some as plaids. Will list what I don't give away on Etsy.

So I've only woven two towels so far because I decided to do some spring cleaning. And take everything out of my "work room" which has really become a store room and a dump. I'm taking over the playroom for a weaving room and turning my work room into a sewing room and moving looms out of the living room. phew...a lot of work but I'm finding things I thought missing for good. I have to admit when I'm working and creating all semblance of order goes out the window. To say nothing about not organizing for the past several years while I was sick. So I'm getting rid of stuff I don't need and giving lots to one of my weaver friends to use and I'm already feeling a lot lighter!
I'm off to Camp Bravehearts this weekend. A weekend camp for women who have had cancer! I went last year and I can't wait to get there again! Full of amazing and wonderful women! All ages, shapes, colors...cancer does not discriminate. A weekend full of healing, hugs, good people, fresh air, good food, wine, music...I'll take pictures!!

Cait, I would imagine that she'll LOVE the towels! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the camp!
Take care,
Pam
Oh, Cait, you and me spring cleaning...she'll LOVE those towels, and she'll keep them for sure.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the camp--it sounds wonderful!
Love them. Sometimes a clearout is a good thing. I have one every so often, just to find things again - I am the same, when I work it's chaos, so things get lost. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your fresh colour scheme, Cait! I know what you mean about having a spring clean: one comes across all sorts of things that may or may not be needed any longer.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great time at your weekend get together :)
