Somehow it’s a whole month since my last post, despite my intentions and efforts. I was pushing myself to finish some things in the last few weeks, which kept me away from my computer. But let’s not focus on the negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the photo above on February 10. Those snowdrops were quite brave, as we had plenty of both very cold temps and snow after that. Since they’re not mine and I didn’t record the address where I snapped the image, I can’t tell you how they made out, but I am seeing lots of snowdrops on my morning walks now, in early March, so I know plenty of these little lovelies made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was I so busy with? I finally admitted to myself that the USPS was never going to find the package I’d mailed on 12\/18. So I remade both the placemats and the handknit fingerless mitts, filed for a refund of the shipping & insurance coverage, and sent off a new package. Along with his thank you, my nephew kindly sent me a photo of the placemats on his table.<\/p>\n\n\n

I made a batch of 10 more bead bags, although I apparently forgot to photograph them. I THOUGHT I had taken a picture, but it’s nowhere to be found. Not even in my recently deleted file. Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a customer’s request I wove a batch of 9 more crackle towels. We kept in close contact throughout the process, and within hours of me listing them in my Etsy store<\/a> she’d purchased 7 of the them.<\/p>\n\n\n

After those two weaves I immediately warped my loom for some black & white gradient scarves in Tencel. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Copper Shop Gallery at the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora had sold some items I’d sent them in November, so I wanted to send them a few more. A scarf from this warp seemed like a seller to me. Here are the 4 items that finally made it into the mail today. <\/p>\n\n\n

They got the gradient scarf with white weft. I also wove 2 more. Personally, the blue is my favorite, but I think the black & white will move faster. We’ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n

Not something I made but instead something I just think is too sweet not to share. This vintage tablecoth is hand emboidered. I’m pretty sure it came from my mother’s, but I don’t think she made it either. Maybe my sister knows???<\/p>\n\n\n

Now I have to go pick up my grandson from school, and if I don’t hit Publish RIGHT NOW this post will continue to linger. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
