I'm back from a really wonderful weekend, teaching tablet-weaving and hand sewing and fingerloop braiding and spinning, and having nice chats and lots of interesting questions and discussions, in splendid company and with a lot of coffee.

I've also gotten a little brain fart for a motif I could try on my brain bender tablet weave... the Franconian coat of arms.

And now I'm in the home run stretches for organising the European Textile Forum, and getting my presentation ready, plus handling the usual in-the-background work stuff - and realising that there's a lot for me to do, in not so much time.

So I'll be taking a little break from blogging, and I'll be back telling you about things again in a week, when I'll hopefully have dealt with all the urgent stuff!
