It's a very humid day in central Scotland and I am busy trying to catch up after a few days at Woolfest.  A warm welcome to anyone who met me there.  It was so busy I hardly had time to look up so sorry anyone I didn't get time to chat with.

Since I got home I have had one person ask if I can give some more basic instruction so tomorrow I will start a piece from scratch using the kit and over the next few days will put the photos and explanation up on this blog for you to follow.

Starting afresh

I may have been offline for a while but life has been far from quiet. I moved up to the Stirling area last year and have been getting settled in to the new house, teaching classes and workshops and generally trying to find enough hours in the day! 

This is the view from my window now.

Alas I have gone from my lovely studio to one wee room and a store room but - needs must - and I am making the best of it.




I am starting afresh on this blog with a purpose in mind (which will hopefully encourage me to focus and actually post!!)  I will be demonstrating at Woolfest later this week on the Weavers Bazaar stand.    Demonstrations will be of Bargello and tapestry weaving with fibres and beads.  I will have kits available for both techniques which will include basic instructions but there are too many variations to cover in a few sheets of A4.

I will put this blog address in all the packs and over the next few weeks I will put up some posts showing how I made some of my samples and explaining techniques to anyone with questions.

In the meantime here are some photos of what I have been up to.
