There has been a lot going on in the studio the past two weeks.  On Nov. 3rd, I received an email with a pre-approved invitation to join the Textile and Fiber Arts List.  I sent the fee, and today sent the text and photos for my profile page which will be up soon.  I’m looking forward to participating in TAFA and am feeling quite honored by this unexpected opportunity!

Today, my online shop finally went live, another exciting event!  Shuttle Works Studio is on the Big Cartel site.  Two handwoven scarves were listed along with three sachets, and more items will be listed soon.  I hope you will visit!

My first woven shibori mobius scarf, with the ends sewn together with a flat-fell seam.  My daughter graciously modeled it for me (thank you, Sarah!).

Weaving continues, for Artistree Gallery, my online shop, and custom orders.  I’ll be spending a lot of hours in the studio over the next three weeks to get everything woven and finished.

Also coming up is Artistree Gallery’s upcoming Holiday Art Bazaar on Sat., Dec. 5th, 10 AM to 5 PM.  There will be refreshments, demonstrations, and opportunity to meet many of the artists.  I will be demonstrating on the Glimakra band loom that morning.  I hope to see you there!

Overnight Dec. 12-13, we received our first real snow, around 2″ by morning.  This was what I saw looking out my second floor window about 7 AM that morning.  It has melted now, rain comes and goes.  The forecast is colder but no snow yet which is fine as we still have around 5 loggers cords of wood to cut, split, an stack in the woodshed.  The wood burning range in the kitchen keeps us warm all winter, and to enjoy that, we have to do our part.  We’re running out of time so we’ll be out working in the woodpile in the next few days.  Coming back inside and sitting at a loom to weave is restful!
