Moving away from the city has been a bit of an adjustment and it took us a while to get our heads around it all.
Since we moved here I have had time for spinning, dyeing yarn, knitting up unique items - some may say very unique :))  and been able to watch sunsets, chooks, cows and chickens scratching around have a large organic garden that was super productive until we discovered a possum in it !!   We have rediscovered how many of the old skills we had somehow had lodged in the recess of our memories :)0  Like how to bait a rat trap !

Rag Weaving on a Rigid Heddle - where has his night shirt gone ?

Living miles away from fabric shops and not wanting to spend dollars to make fabric then recycling is a neat way to make your own.   do it yourself fabric is unique and a cool way to recycle a favourite item.  Believe it or not this weaving is done with torn strips of hubby's night shirt, frayed and ready to toss out when inspiration hit - guess he's still searching for it  ...  looks mighty like denim and gave a very strong and interesting texture fabric for a bag.
