I had to put this post in, as to me it is a beautiful little story – not to mention expensive, (and some might say creepy). So, as we approach Hallowe’en, here we have a lovely story of silken spiders and weaving.
A wee bit on the expensive side for anyone thinking of getting some of [...]

And another trip – this time, Ireland
Posted in Ireland, table runner on October 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, we were in Ireland last week and just before I left for home, I was given a commission and asked if I could weave a long table runner to match a set of placemats I’d woven about 4 years ago. It’s always nice to get a commission, especially when you know you’ll have time to do [...]

So, after a lot of family drama, we eventually made it over to England to visit Hannah’s great-granny Violet, meet up university friends whom we’ve not seen in almost 15 years, and then up to the north, to see Matt’s parents. “Too much (non-relevant) information” for a weaving blog? Well it turned out to be more of [...]

Well,
something that dragged me away from feeding Hannah or singing the annoying repeat of her Fisherprice train – the latest edition of Handwoven magazine – Warning – this is a long rant!
This arrived a few days ago – if anyone from the US reads this, they’ll be thinking that’s a bit strange, I got mine [...]

Right, so updates (for anyone who still bothers to read this blog). Well, as usual, lots has happened, and nothing at the same time. Hannah now has 2 teeth (see photo) and has been dubbed “Hannah-2-teeth-McCasey”:
I eventually got my warp tied on, have 6 place [...]

ooohhh, dyeing and the cold

Well as usual, I’m a big fat slacker and it’s been ages since I wrote something.
Hannah’s started the creche, she has a cold, she’s given it to me, I’m back at work and feeling like poo (with having the cold, not sleeping as I am feeding her and she has the cold so she is [...]

Bloody hell!
it’s been ages since I’ve written anything here – I don’t seem to have time to do anything anymore! (I bet all the mummies out there are saying “ha!!” – We could have told you so!)
So, Hannah will be 15 weeks old on Wednesday, I’ve spent the better part of the past 15 weeks [...]
Hannah Aoife Casey…Strictly speaking, not a weaving project

Well, if anyone other than my mum, sister and a few friends read my blog on a regular basis, then you’ll know that I’ve been more than just a “bit of a slacker” recently – But this excuse is the best yet – really!
On the 8th of October, I went to the hospital for a [...]
