New Hobby - Almost New Year!

Blessings to All this New Year's Eve 2023! 

Another year is about to come to an end and yes, I am ready to start yet another new hobby, a new chapter in keeping busy and learning, always learning!

Weaving is my focus for the next month and I just warped my first loom according to Rebecca Mezloff's video "Weaving Tapestry on Little Looms." Of course I have ordered numerous books, but am following videos and using the books for additional resources and motivation. Where am I headed with this? Great question and I have no big goals nor productive plans. I just want to weave, use color, enjoy the dexterity of threading the yarn in and out, design a product eventually and yes, hang it on my wall. 

I have indulged in purchasing second-hand a medium sized tapestry loom and also Rebecca's complete set of videos. I think of this as my upteen master's degree without the certificate, but plenty of weavings to show off my efforts.

What are you doing in 2024 for "extra credit?" What are your plans? Nothing is too challenging because one can always approach the projects in increments. That is my plan.....maybe the bigger loom is a bit rushing the challenge - we'll see.

                                       

Let's touch base again tomorrow - poetry everyday and journaling as one feels the desire. 

Resolutions for 2024 are minimal this year.
