Warp weave beetle & mount!

Fantastic name for a workshop, but what on earth does it mean! Making little woven items using linen thread and using them to make cards, bookmarks etc. The possibilities are endless. I usually avoid these workshops as they can be a distraction from the job in hand, but this was a really fun day and my mind is already buzzing with ideas. Not all guild members felt as enthusiastic, but those that took part had a really good day. Dot Seddon was a most entertaining tutor and inspired us with her enthusiasm and ideas. See photos below.

From such refined activity on Saturday, we move onto Sunday and the delivery of a ton of manure to the allotment. Bright blue sky and a steaming heap of the proverbial. We set to, and woth a little help from another plot holder it onlt took us an hour to move it! Forgot to take the camera so I can't show the delights of the steaming heap in February sunshine.

Then on Sunday afternoon, off to comet to look at DVD recorders. We bought one and then spent the rest of the day trying to work out how to work it and set it up with all the other equipment!! Where are all the foru year old children when you need them!

But we have had some truly fantastic weather. Hard frosts, wonderful blue skies, deep red sunsets and a full moon! Shame about the cough, but I have been able to carry on spinning the cotton and am planning the IKAT warp!
