Well, just as I was getting used to sitting on the sofa looking at Ikea kitchens online and grumbling about the “consumer society” approach to buying things for new babies, I was nicely brought back to weaving by a lady from Australia – I never thought when I first made a set of place mats for my mum from balls of hand dyed crochét cotton and mop string that they would travel so far!
Anyway, I set to work on Friday afternoon (yep, that would be “Friday weaving” again), and on the way home from my proper paid job I decided to get some more mop cotton for the weft (filler), just to make sure I had enough for the job. Finding mop cotton in August in Barcelona is no easy task! But eventually I found a little old merceria that opened in the afternoons who brought me out of brown box of balls of cotton and I was all set.
Aren’t I lucky!? These are being made for ME! I love the colours don’t you. And I didn’t know about Ruth’s pregnancy so for me that adds even more specialness – something gorgeous being created on the outside, while at the same time something gorgeous is being created on the inside!
I’m afraid I have taken the liberty of tagging you with a ‘blog award’. You will find at this post:
