Fabric labels.

Well, OK, these have actually been a week long crafting adventure, but I finally made an acceptable set of labels today. I've been looking at them for a while on etsy, where they're offered by various sellers, but I did swear to myself that I should be able to make them, thereby preventing me from buying any. I also want my labels to ( Read more... )

So, yesterday morning, instead of going to the bank like I was supposed to, I fiddled with etsy and finally opened a store to sell my weaving.

To tell the truth, I really dislike social gatherings with a vengeance. So Holidays are not my favourite time of year by any stretch.

This may very well be the last week I will ever write on anything law related. At least I can hope. I am again quitting. And hoping to go off into some other profession that doesn't involve the yelling and the crazy clients that you can't get rid of.

I haven't actually posted anything on this job here, probably because I've been telling people about ( Read more... )

Yes, there has been a spate of handiness that sort of absorbed my last week of freedom before starting work. Which was pushed back a week, but no worries. I've already mentioned that I made a raddle and my own warping board. Well, I now am also the proud owner of a table loom floor stand with treadles, which effectively makes my table loom a floor ( Read more... )

The last two weeks have been full of fibre.

I took a three day trip up to visit Gwil in Armstrong, driving up on Monday, April 6, and driving back down on Wednesday, April 8. Gwil and I managed to fit in some koolaid dyeing in between me going to Salmon Arm for a job interview and walking the dog and shopping for really good food in Armstrong. We ( Read more... )
