End of January

And what do I have to show for it?
Actually, I've just about finished the kippah piece and it is lovely. I got back to doing handwork and beading and really enjoyed it. I just have to put binding on the piece and I'm done. But the "just" isn't so straightforward. I don't have enough tie left for the entire binding so am contemplating using bits and pieces of other blue fabrics. The question is how to connect them -- with diagonal or straight seams? With diagonal, I'd be losing more fabric, so maybe just straight. And then how to piece so I don't have seams in the corners. Oy.
In other news, I had my FAT (Fibre Arts Toronto) ladies over last Sunday for a stamping fest. I don't mind stamping using stamp pads but the other messier paints -- not for me. Laura was kind enough to take four boxes of books for the university book sale and two large bags of fabrics I won't be using for her guild and/or the Textile Museum yard sale. So I got some stuff I don't need out of the house. Yay me.
I am trying to keep on top of some semblance of order in my studio. My beads are colour sorted in watchmaker's cases. My next plan is to wrap my fabrics on cardboard. (I saw this great fabric wrapping system but am too cheap to invest money in it...)
My goal this weekend is to finish the three library pieces -- I have to put hanging sleeves on the two finished ones and finish off the third. I would like to make the mezuzah for the POM travelling exhibit. And maybe finish off one of my embellished WISPs.
