Fall shows

I have two shows on schedule this fall.  The first is Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Missouri,  on October 6 and 7.  The second one is the Unique Boutique at John Burroughs School in LaDue, Missouri, on November 17 and 18.
I am well on my way to preparedness for both shows.  I've really worked hard this year to get stock made.  Last summer I was moving, so the fall shows left me with not much left over.  A good thing about that is I have LOTS of new colors and designs.  And, I'm continuing to make items.

If you're in St. Louis during these weekends, come by and say hi!

Day lily pinks warp

I just finished my day lily pinks painted warp.  I'm now threading on a beige and maroons painted warp.  It is surprisingly pretty.  Can't wait to get it up and running.  I also have a placemat warp on the Hammett, but am concentrating on getting the 720 threads of the painted warp through the reed and heddles and wound on!  THEN, I'll let myself work on the placemat warp.  Small goals and rules I set for myself seem crazy when I stand back and look at them, but ... they work.

Webs (www.yarn.com)  has 10/2 mercerized cotton on sale, and I bought four colors to use for painted warps.  I'm most of the way through winding the first color.  I'd like to get all 4 wound and painted before winter.

With the heat wave and drought we're in, the yard work is down to watering the tomatoes and hostas a couple times a week, so I'm getting some good quality weaving time in - and, the loom room has an AC.  Whoo-ee.  I have arrived.

Below is a photo of one of the day lily pinks shawls on the loom.
