taking stock
how time flies!
trying to keep moving forward, finish some projects and start new ones
seems to be the rhythm of my days
and the ongoing tale of a blue bear
teddy was happy to get his head
antique glass eyes, a stitched nose and mouth (difficult to see in the picture)
now he can sing!
and ears- the better to hear you with
he is waiting impatiently for arms so he can hug Arthur – who is supervising the work
and lets me know when he thinks I’ve made a mistake
like the nose which had to be replaced three times
it is amazing how much character a bear gets from his ears
finished spinning 300 grams of 2 ply textured silk
before dyeing I have to decide what I’ll use it for
and the tapestry loom is finally warped – using the “fringeless” technique
it has an actual warp and two temporary, supplemental warps which takes me some time to get on the loom
the design is very experimental and may not work but I have a plan B and also plan C if necessary
and thank goodness it hasn’t snowed – yet!
keeping my fingers crossed but this morning I did my major, once in 2 weeks grocery shopping
just in case
I love Blue Bear- the character is in the face. I agree keeping busy with lots of projects is the way to go at the moment.

Cathy – as time just keeps going on it becomes more difficult to think of interesting projects. Seem to have lost my interest in weaving on the floor loom – maybe once it warms up and I don’t have to heat the studio?

Sue – as work goes on I feel more responsible for creating his personality, was surprised at how different the ears could be.
