Alot has been happening....

I took a bit of a hiatus to redecorate my room then realized that it was a mere 8 weeks till the Australian Sheep and Wool show in which I was running my stall with a new stall partner.

SO, I gave myself 4 weeks in which to pull up the carpet, sand the floors, paint the floors and the rest of the roof and walls of my room then settle into getting ready for the show..

Prep went well and so did the show.  I really only sell some bits to finance my own stash and equipment so doing well was just great.  This year I got a new loom, Ashford Rigid Heddle 120cm, with stand...yay...OK, the good bit, here's the pics...

this is some dying I did before the show......I did not bring much of it home...

                                                                       the first day....





                                                                  It got a bit frosty....



                        The second day...things went pretty good the first day...had to re-gig the stock...

                                                     

                                                       Waiting for the shed to be opened..

And the spoils....the Ashford Rigid Heddle 120cm..It arrived a very prompt 7 days after it was ordered and I wasted no time sealing the wood with a spot of furniture finishing wax..and warping her up..



See the next post for the first item off the loom.....

The show went well.  Not as well as I would have liked but well enough... Now it's soap I am doing a lot of...Yet another old craft no...
