Now that I’m weaving as much as I’m knitting, I’ve changed the title of my blog to reflect that. I’ve been thinking of making this a place to blog about a broader range of creative interest than just fibre crafts for a while now. (And I never did write about chocolate much.) In fact, I’ve even bought a domain name where I intended to start a new blog plus gallery, but haven’t had time to set it up yet.

Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to get myself painting again by writing about it, and setting myself challenges.

I’ve been dabbling in macrame again. This time small scale. I have a few jewellery designs going, using crochet cotton and beads. But I also want to make miniature pot hangers out of the linen that didn’t work so well as rag rug warp. While cleaning out my old house I found lots of teeny tiny ceramic pots – the sort sold as souveniers – so I want to make hangers for them. Don’t ask me why, but this amuses me deeply.

That old house? I accepted an offer on it yesterday, and if all goes as planned it will belong to someone else in a little over a month’s time. Since it’s been on the market these last couple of weeks I’ve had pangs of wanting to keep it, yet I’m so excited now there’s a buyer.

I wonder what he makes of the paper mache floor in the hall…
