Floating Back to the Blog...

Hi everyone,

I know this blog has been silent for a bit more than a year now, a year in which many exciting things happened, including being a "Princess" in the SCA for six months.  But most of it was not fiber related, oh I got some things done like an Icelandic Sweater for the husband and the endless socks I'm always making for me; but after a short flurry of doing things for our "court garb," not much really happened fiber wise until a few weeks ago.

However, I am now back in the swing and have woven the basic material for a Viking "front cloth" (to wear in front of an apron dress), fabric for a couple of bags, and am setting up an Etsy store which will encourage this blog to stay more current, since that is a major way people share news about their shops and current projects.

While the shop itself already exists, there is nothing in it yet, but I will post here as soon as there are products there for sale.  I have to finish the bags (which are a fast wedding gift) and then get some new trim woven for the shop before there will be much to see. 

I've also just managed to re-locate the family camera, so hopefully some actual shots of projects in process may go as early as tomorrow. 

So, stay tuned to this site, new articles should be appearing shortly...below is a photo of how things looked about eight months ago when my husband had just won the Principality Tourney.  The overshot front cloth was woven by me as was the trim, our house-mate designed and cast the silver crowns (though he didn't know then how soon we would be wearing them lol!).
