Here we are in David's Bridal. My oldest is getting married and now that the guest list and venue have been decided, it's time for the fun part....wedding gown shopping!
We looked through many dresses and this is the winner:
I just love the lacing up the back.
Her little maid of honor, my youngest was a very good sport through the whole thing considering she just broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years and is being asked to leave her cool apartment because of an indoor Persian cat who goes to the groomer more than I go to a hair dresser. No, the slumlord would not take a pet deposit. So all day last Saturday we were apartment hunting. How depressing that was. It's incredible the rent these people ask for really substandard places to live.
So my children have been consuming my life, not unlike when they were babies, devouring my every waking moment and denying me any semblance of a real life. Ok, not that bad. And it really doesn't matter since my weaving is going sort of slow.
Slow as molasses. I am feeling much better but am afraid to do too much as far as tying up the floating warps. I'm being careful, probably overly careful, but better safe than sorry. This will definitely be the last shaft switching piece I do for a while.
Meanwhile, I'm still playing with color and mixing my different palette colors together.
These are different combinations in watercolor and dye.
Here's my South Beach Easter egg basket. Getting the yarn ready for when I start weaving the rug.
I'm also getting this little guy fixed up. A Schacht tapestry loom. It was buried away in the garage. I sent for a Mirrix warping spring because I've been looking at different tapestry looms lately and thought that the spring thing is pretty nifty. Don't know if you can see, but I added it to my Schacht with tape. I'm thinking about maybe getting a Mirrix. Of course DH is thinking of killing me. We're heading up to North Carolina at the end of the month so I'll just stop by Earth Guild and see what they've got....just looking of course ;)
