December 2024 Newsletter

​Time to flip over another page on the calendar to December. Depending on how you were raised, it’s either the 12 days of Christmas or the 24 days of goodie filled Advent calendars. My cats were so sad when I came home from Trader Joe's empty handed this year, since they had already sold out of the daily kitty treats calendars...... it’s a rough life at our house!My loom is full of light and dark greens, white, reds and yellow – my attempt at something Christmasy in the form of towels. I put on a huge warp, which I’m now starting to wonder if I’ll ever get done! But it’s a simple mindless weave and does go fast when I can find the time. In my usual fashion, I’m already thinking ahead about what I want my next project to be.........rigid heddle, 4 shaft, or 8shaft. What colors, what fiber and just WHAT should I create? Lots of ideas, but I can never seem to commit to an idea until after the current project is finished. 
​​
I think my colors for December are all the twinkling lights and festive streamers of the holidays. With December having the longest nights of the year, I think of all the shades of black, and how that makes colors pop out even more. And I enjoy seeing the sparkle in a young child’s eye when they see a Christmas tree and all the presents on Christmas morning.  Here's wishing you and your family the peace and joy this holiday season and may all your weaving projects get finished! Looking forward to seeing you soon.
