I had to really think how to take a photo of the mirror with out taking my self as well. My husband bless his heart took the mirror off the wall in our back entrance. then we propped it up in my small weaving room so I could check the shed whilst weaving this double weave. I actually managed to take a better picture of it this time around. I have to fess up and say I haven't woven on it in a week. I did however go back to the small loom and do a bit more to my silk scarf. However my mood
has been to spin . I finished spinning my
Tussah silk then went and dug into my stash and pulled out this
bombyx silk that was called sea shells very pretty. I must have had this silk in my stash for at least 6 years. I know when I go it I was a bit hesitant to spin it for fear of making the colours look muddy. But they don't. So I phoned
Treenway and asked if they had anymore. I felt very lucky to get the last 2 packages. And I have actually decided to knit myself a sweater incorporating quite a bit of my spun silk.
Can anybody who might happen to read my blog explain to my in basic terms how to get the printing in between my photos.
OK just a little story . this morning at Mass the visiting Priest got up and called all the little children to the front. We have this program where the children go down stairs and are read a bible story and they can colour and do other little projects. Saves them from a bit of boredom and squirming around in the pew. Two tiny boys go running up so Father offers them the bible that they are supposed to carry down stairs. So this tiny boy pipes up "no thanks "F
ather" I have my own book "S
ee!!! the Priest looked completely flummoxed. Until an even smaller little girls comes charging up grabs the book and takes off. Very funny.
Well I'm going to post this and explore the options on this blog to see if I can figure out a better way of writing this
The handspun and weaving look wonderful - lots of shine! Sorry I can't help with the photo descriptions. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThat Sea Shells silk is really pretty!!! Too bad you got the last two packages . . . . LOL
ReplyDeleteTo get the pictures where you want, make sure you decide if you want it on the right, left or centre before you download. When you get it, click on the picture - you should get some little blocks around the picture - and slide it down to where you want it. If you chose "right" it will only slide down the right. If you chose "centre" it will only slide down the centre. But, you can put it where you want it more or less.
