How Wonderful to Have New Weavers in the Making

The summer has been a busy one. It began by teaching a beginner weaving course in Olds, Alberta. They were a fantastic group, worked hard on their samples and headed off with very nice projects. It is always interesting to see how varied the interests are and how different the projects and even the samples end up.

Towards the end of the summer we headed off to Vancouver Island and bought, hopefully, our future retirement home. Right across from the ocean, one section of the house can be used for a studio and business and the other part will be for our personal use. It has certainly been a busy and exciting time.

The fall is always busy in my day job and I ended up teaching the beginner weaving course at our local guild as the scheduled instructor could not. With all this and the fall guild sale coming I will not have time to put very much in the sale if anything. Our guild will also host the 2010 provincial conference here and I am working on instructor contracts. Certainly hope I get time to weave for that one!

Hello Linda,
Long time since we last exchanged emails!

I noticed you are moving to Van Isle! Congrats on the new home. We're just a bit north of Duncan.
Lots of active weavers and spinners here....welcome!

For the next few years we will only be visiting as often as we can, but once we retire this is where we will go. Yep the first thing I did was check out the area for "fiber addicts"!
