A LITTLE HELP

from my friends, they are supporting me with weaving the long sheets whenever they find some hours and the master lent me another loom to make it possible.

thank you all!

it makes me love weaving even more.


the pretty weaving girl: source unknown, i am sorry, must have been some nice tumblr.

outside

i never understood the culture of sitting outside & drinking coffee if it's not really warm, especially if you don't smoke like me.
i wish i could smoke occasionally, like this afternoon, but i am just able to smoke if i had a couple of strong drinks.

but today i sat outside with a friend and even the colours of the fleece blankets seemed to be somehow attractive.

i must be under a strong spring influence.

spring

spring is here.
it came with Lou's birthday, we had a wonderful weekend, she said she enjoyed it a lot, there just could have been a little bit less visitors. i know what she means and am very happy that she still likes to be just with us, her parents.

i love my days on my own at the studio but need a lot of time to restart every day. it's a slow process and i am trying to overcome my impatience.
the things i've already finished are surprisingly funny, which hasn't been intended but well, they seem to be in a good mood and so am i.

i set up a tumblr, some inspiration for my current weaving work, you are welcome to have a look.
