Hello 2013!

First of all I have to make a small apology for being so absent on the blog lately, sometimes life is just not possible to summarize in writing. But now I am back and I'll hopefully be more active from now on. This last year has been a year of change and testing the boundaries of what's possible. If someone would've asked me a couple of years ago what I thought I'd be doing today, in my wildest dreams I could never have imagined this. It is truly a joy to be able to work with the things you love - and of course textile art and handweaving is my big passion.

Since last year was such an intense year I do not even know where to start in summarizing it (as customary on a blog at this time of year...). Instead today I'll give you a sneak-peek at what's in the calender for this coming year so far. I am glad to say that we are now preparing to put up a weave in the big loom (it's 11ft wide), more pictures of that is coming soon. A small spoiler is that it is something for a church. This is what our most faithful companion can look like in different attires;
