Two weeks ago was spent working on new weavings and experimenting with new patterns. I was so thrilled when Alison of The Alison Show invited me to co-host a Bing sponsored party with Melanie of You Are My Fave in Denver. It was part of her six party tour across the US to invite people to 'Search For Your Awesome' with each party being an opportunity to collaborate with other creative influencers while learning a new skill.
IT. WAS. SO. FUN.
More on that later because the lovely Heather Gray shot the event and will be providing us with some lovely photos from the night.
Have I mentioned how fun it was?
I've been asked a few times if I'll be sharing a tutorial on weaving or teaching any future classes and my answeres are yes and sort of. I'm working on a short weaving series that I'll feature over on A Beautiful Mess in the near future and I'm hoping to get to teach a local class at our favorite coffee shop, Fifty Fifty, sometime in July. Other than that I've got plans to do another collection that will be available for purchase in a few weeks and to pass along a few to some dear friends.
Weaving has been such a refreshing hobby and I'm so thankful for the fun it's already allowed me to have with some darling ladies up in Denver and through Instagram. If you haven't already tried it add it to your summer to-do list.

P.S. Life has been full this summer and I've enjoyed taking a little less time to sit down as often to blog it all. I'm still oversharing on Instagram under @smileandwave if you want to follow along in 'real time'. Ha!
Rachel, your weavings are beautiful....I'm a regular knitter and sewer but seeing your pieces has inspired me to try it, cardboard box style. :)
Can't wait to see more!

I LOVED learning about how you do these....I need to get my booty movin' and finish mine! I think I'm a little scared of messing it up;)
