I love colour, pattern and texture and again I am doing a white or just off white warp. I am weaving some baby blankets for friends and family. But I am planning on doing some colour and texture with the weft threads. The warp is 100% wool and I plan on doing the weft wool or maybe add a little silk in with it. I was planning on using up some of my stash with these blankets but decided nice soft <a href="http://www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au/Product/tabid/55/2328/2328/186358/LUXURY/Default.aspx">Bendigo Woollen Mills </a> wool would be best on baby skin. Again its thanks to Mel for all her help in getting the 10 mts long and 120cm wide warp on the loom. She really is my loom fairy that appears and helps me regularly thanks Mel. </span><br />

<pre><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well I have finished the double warp. Finally! It has been
finished for a few weeks and I just haven't had a chance to post the
finial images. Mel took some photos as I was cutting the warp off which
was lucky as I didn't think to. I was at the point of<i> I just wanted it off
the loom. </i>I have been working on some machine embroidery so I haven't
as yet put another warp on the loom but hope to in the next day or so.
I am thinking some baby blankets so a new grand baby and a few extras
for some friends having babies. </span></pre>

We had a quick dinner of lamb steaks and stir fried vegetables and some lively discussion.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First thing is an update on my last post. Yes I cleaned out the pantry although there is a pile on the kitchen bench of sweet treats my daughter has to deal with. Its mostly hers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The kitchen benches and dinning table has been cleaned and use so many times they almost need another clearing after a big weekend of wedding sweets table and other paraphernalia that came into the house. So I will do a quick tidy of both of these before bed. Can you believe that I have been told which chocolate Easter Rabbit to get. I said NO chocolate but seems we have to have our Easter egg.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have almost finished the warp ( one beautiful grand son always takes me away from the loom. I should be more disciplined), so much has happen over the past few weeks I am not sure where the weeks went and what I did in that time. I am about to hit the loom for an hour before its to noisy for the neighbors as it is already 8.10pm.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So thoughts are now focused on the next thing to weave although I have some study to do at ANU and it involves machine embroidery. I do need to weave some blankets so if not a blanket warp I will have to get a least a scarf warp on the loom as its getting cold and everyone needs scarves in winter. Will keep you posted on how both progress.</span><br />

clean the kitchen, clean the dinning table ( although looking at it

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2015 is starting to shape up as another busy year in more ways than one. I am heading back to uni to do a research project ( using machine embroidery and I hope to blog about it so will add a link when I do) and maybe look at further study. Mel and I have 1 maybe 2 exhibitions planned. I am hoping to get a new production range under way, a new website and that's just the start. So Melly what are you be planning for 2015? What is on your loom today Mel? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><br /> Natural Wonders is a mixed media exhibition consisting of works on paper and naturally dyed and stitched textiles derived and inspired by organic materials drawn and collected from sites that hold personal significance for the artist. Her daily journey from home to studio, and the many bush and urban walks she takes have inspired her to look at the native and introduced flora of Canberra, delving into its history to determine the impact that white settlement and the urbanisation of this designed city had on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal. Textiles have been dyed with plants from specific sites, during specific seasons of the year to build up a colour profile of the territory, and showcase the beauty to be found within.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gallery Hours:</span> Thursday-Sunday, 11-5pm.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Opening Night:</span> Thursday 23rd October, 6pm.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.barometer.net.au/?type=Exhibition&id=79">http://www.barometer.net.au/?type=Exhibition&id=79</a><br /><br /><a href="http://julierydertextiles.blogspot.com.au/">http://julierydertextiles.blogspot.com.au/</a><br /><br /><a href="http://julieryder.com.au/Julie_Ryder/About.html">http://julieryder.com.au/Julie_Ryder/About.html</a></span><br />

Well what a big job winding a 50 mt warp on is. Its finally on. I had a lot of help from Mel but this is not the way to do a big warp. The warp was wound before I had the sectional beams. I know I will have some tension issues while I am weaving but hopefully I will be able to work with them. I may just have to cut the weaving off every so often and retie on. Ok now for the 2nd warp, its the same length but wool. I had originally planned to felt the woven pieces and will still felt some but now hope I can do a bit more experimenting with the warps. <br />

I wound this warp some years ago, by some I mean maybe 7 years ago and about 50 mts long if my memory is correct. Now that is embarrassing isn't it. I think I have been frightened of it and didn't quite know how to wind it on the loom. It is a double warp, one wool and the second one is silk. This section is silk I thought it would be easier to wind on by my self. Although I have started it a few times I think it may have beaten me. Maybe I will bribe my daughter for help. I am hoping to play with felting and interesting textures. Stay tuned!<br />

I am happy with what I did get done today and the loom just purred along. I think its happy to be at home in the warmth. Although I had<br />
planned much more for the weekend, I just spend time with my family and a catch up with friends <a href="http://julieryder.com.au/Julie_Ryder/About.html">Julie Ryder</a> and <a href="http://melanieolde.com/">Melanie Olde</a> to plan a pop up shop at the end of July. (Details soon)<br />
<br />
So have started to plan my weekend and again another full on. <br />
