I just want to say I'm having difficulty editing my photos on windows 8 - there doesn't seem to be a decent easy edit option, the internet suggests I need to upload an app... anyway hopefully the quality of my pictures will improve especially as this semester module is all about CAD... in the mean time if anyone has any ideas about easy to install and use app for simple editing please leave me a comment.
Here is a lovely bit of weaving I found in the cottage we are staying in
It just simple dried grass loosly woven and knotted - effective
I've been filling my evenings drinking wine eating lovely food and sewing. I like the idea of traditional crafts and the last assignment awakened my enthusiasm for weaving, knitting, embroidery and all those lovely hands on activities.
I visited a wonderful exhibition last November at the Fashion and Textiles Museum showing Liberty history and fabrics and there were some smocked dresses on display - smocking is really quite old fashioned although it has been recently incorporated into some of the recent 'boho' summer dresses - anyway I thought I'd have a go
- it's been about 22 years since I smocked a frock for my five year old daughter. I used spotty fabric to make getting dots right easy as I had to hand gather them. I think it will look quite pretty when I finish it
