tiny happy

My kind friend Poppy let me borrow one of her tapestry weaving looms and gave me a lesson on how to use it. I must admit I found it more difficult than I'd been expecting. I used to get frustrated easily and give up when faced with a new challenge, but I'm happy to report I have (a little) more patience as I get older. It's so good to learn new things – and I hope it will help me to be a better teacher, too.

Anyway, I enjoyed sifting through my yarn scraps basket and weaving this little piece in sea-inspired colours and I'm planning on buying my own loom soon.

Poppy does beautiful work – she is an accomplished weaver but has been painting for many years – you can check out her work on Instagram and she also here.
