News — handwoven

‘Dressing the loom’ before I can even start weaving!What does that mean? Well, it’s just putting the warp onto the loom.And when I say ‘putting’, I mean:- sleying the reed- threading the heddles- winding the warp onto the back beam- tying the front of the warp onto the front beam- tying up the treadlesAnd then away we go!

I was asked last week what I did for fun …And this was my answer :DYeah, if I had my own way, I would be handweaving and tapestry weaving 24 hours a day!!How about you - what is your idea of FUN? Comment below! 

#sorrynotsorry On this warp: a birthday scarf for my stepdaughter Lily, and more scarves for my stockist The Jam Factory.This was my wild and crazy Friday night, haha!

OK, all this talk about Authentic Style … but where do I start?Let’s do a wardrobe audit!For the next week (or more), write down what you wear every single day.Include all accessories, jewellery, shoes, etc as well as clothing.You may be surprised what you reach for every single day, and what you ignore.Let me know in the comments what you are discovering!

Lily’s 16th birthday scarf!I asked Lily to choose a colour … and I was shocked that she chose hot pink! I mean, it IS fabulous (and one of my favourite colours), but it’s not normally a colour she gravitates towards.And doesn’t she look FABULOUS?You can find your own fabulousness on my website :)
