My Cousins Cottage

Today I joined Rebecca Rogers Miller and Sheryl Hamilton Jeffries in a new craft endeavor.  We have named ourselves "My Cousins Cottage."  We plan to participate in the new Kokomo Makers' Art Market.

We plan to offer handmade jewelry, crocheted and knitted items, hand-woven rugs, needlefelted items and more.  If you are in the area, we hope you will visit our booth.

 Above is my very first rug made on an old barn loom at the Howard County, IN Fair in 2011.

This is my first rug made at home on my Union#36 Rug Loom.  My youngest granddaughter, Rainey has this one in her bedroom.

Hopefully, I will be weaving again on the loom very soon.

A new beginning

Having neglected my Etsy shop, I have decided to restart.  The shop is quite understocked at the moment, but hopefully the blog will help me to get inspired and get busy.

Last year I purchased a lovely old Union 36 Rug Loom.  I am definitely still learning, but it is relaxing most of the time and I seem to have a natural knack for weaving.  Last weekend I purchased a beautiful 4 harness table loom.  I am recovering from carpal tunnel release surgery, so as much as I might like to jump in and try it out, I need to wait a bit longer.  In the meantime, I am able to fiddle with my weaving sticks in small blocks of time.

I will try to post some photos soon of this work with some pointers on weaving with the weaving sticks.  I just have to locate my camera.
