Fabric Weaving

Well, I finally did it. I have held on to this dress for a long time. I finally cut it up for the weft! It is a wonderful pale purple-ish color and the stripes are from a silk skirt that was well loved. You would think I could have used something from my fabric stash, but this fabric is so soft and such a nice color, I really started this WOVEN Piece as a funky BackPack, but as I'm working all kinds of ideas come to mind. It would make a really nice throw pillow. I have a few more inches to do, then I will cut it off the loom. I'll let it tell me what it wants to be! I just read A bit of Velvet and a Dash of Lace by Robin Brown, about her Magnolia Pearl style. I love that Book, will get my own copy. Her Decorating inspirations are fantastic, just what I needed, since I am now living in the most un! House. I was living in a hand built cabin on 50 acres in the Smokey Mountains, raising my family to love the nature that surrounded us, had a huge organic garden, homeschooled. I wish just for a slice of that, but ahhh my life is now peaceful and simple. I'm working my small intown homestead now, trying to get back to knowing where my food came from. Baking my bread, and weaving up the dress that reminds me of all memories! Yes, Spring Fever is pulling me outside, wondering if those tomatoes want to go in the ground today. Peace to All, I must finish that fabric!
