My birthday was last week. I celebrated with dear friends by renting kayaks and paddling on Irondequoit Creek. It was really lovely, but of course I didn’t think to take any photos.<\/p>\n

Today I went to the One World Goods<\/a> store in Pittsford before getting my groceries at Trader Joes. I’d previously stopped and browsed in this store, committed to Fair Trade, but not bought. I’d been thinking about one of their handmade purses since that first visit months ago, and decided I wouldn’t wait any longer. Well, I bought a bag and more. I figured that I’d consider them birthday presents to myself.<\/p>\n

First I picked out 3 pairs of earrings. The ones on the cards are from Mexico, the Om symbol earrings from India.

The bag was made in Guatemala, with wonderfully colorful embroidery, lots of zippers, and an adjustable strap. <\/p>\n

I couldn’t pass up the pants, handwoven and sewn in Nepal. They fit just like I wanted my pants made from my cotton\/linen fabric<\/a> to fit. I couldn’t wait to get home and compare the weight of the two fabrics. <\/p>\n

I had to laugh. They feel very much like the fabric I’d started weaving, the looser beat, the fabric I thought was too loose for pants and am saving for a top. It figures, doesn’t it? Anyway, when I get up the gumption to go back to the pants with my handwoven, I can use these as a sort of guide for sizing.<\/p>\n

On the weaving front, this past weekend was the annual Roycroft Summer Festival in East Aurora. It was sooooo hot – in the 90’s both days. And we’re set up on a blacktop parking lot. The crowds were very thin…people stayed home in their air conditioning and\/or pools. So sales were poor for all the artists that I spoke with. But I enjoyed doing another community weaving project as part of my booth. I had everyone from preschoolers to grandparents take place. Here’s a teenage boy – I blurred his face since I didn’t ask permission to take or use the photo.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the weaving looked like at the end of Sunday. I’m going to do a bit more work on it before I hang it, but I do enjoy this process and may well do more.<\/p>\n
