seriously ganabaru league

💪💪💪 tried to finish this week but it looks like most likely over the weekend. anyhow chuffed with the outcome. let's see the collapse after cutting and wet finishing. the structure is a broken twill which will give nice warp floats.the wool stainless weft will push them in theory,but reality  can sometimes be surprising.

hopefully the end

 end of purchases,finito, no more.

bought this rather magnificent value for money paper from china delivered to my doorstep.

this will be used after i  burn rolls of kraft paper trying to gain more confidence.it comes with inks and a pretty good brush. 

this  paper will be two steps up from kraft paper but considerably down the ladder from my handmade papers from japan.will i ever have courage to use them or will they become heirlooms for my niece?

a weekend of baking

my mother's tuned up  cornbread recipe.she added sugar eggs and lots of butter and while keeping the crumbly consistency turned it cake-like.

it was such a hit last year that i decided to repeat it, christmas fruitcake is somewhat alien here but cornbread ,although not the sweet kind, is familiar to their tastebuds.

now comes the hard part, delivery. everyone's busy during this time finding a spot to coincide with the different agendas is a work of art.

set up the lights so that's down ,need to start working on the xmas card animation.

xmas dinner already thought up and half shopped,tablecloth and napkins need to go to the cleaners. anxiously waiting for tai chi to end this week.
