Blue and White Towels

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.

Weaving

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!!
