Giving new things a try

With all the changes going on in my life right now, I decided to start giving a few things a try. For one, I have started in my attempts to weave. Currently this has not made much progress, but once things from the holidays slow down, I suspect it will pick up! I also got back into my bead work. I didn't realize how much I missed making my own jewelry- though, the dangle earrings are on indefinite hold right now, unless I decide to sell some. I have also decided to try bobbin lace, also known as pillow lace. This one is farthest from actually being worked on, since I don't quite have all the supplies yet. I decided to try this after seeing a demonstration, actually many years ago. I thought the lace was so pretty and delicate, and couldn't imagine trying something so complicated on my own! I still don't have a teacher for this, but with so many resources on the internet now, I no longer see the need to wait for one.


So, with trying lots of new things, I decided I might as well give blogging a try again. I am hoping that I can stay relatively on track with this, hopefully with a post every week at the least. Also, I'm hoping I can keep this mostly fiber related- knitting and weaving and so on, but I am sure that there will probably be posts about bead work and sewing, and most likely about the wee one (once she decides to show up).
