I have long admired weaving since it popped into the crafting scene, but hesitated actually trying it. After the Michaels Makers Summit, and learning from Anabel, I was completely smitten with this craft. I find the movement of weaving the yarn through the loom very relaxing, and it makes it really hard to put down the loom once I get started. My new found love for weaving is probably what motivated me to clean my craft space, so that I could have a place to display my yarn. I have a few different looms, this one is the one we were given at the summit to learn on, I have a beautiful one from Lost Pond Looms that Anabel so graciously sent my way, and then I followed her tutorial on CreativeBug to make my own loom. I want to make a bigger loom, and maybe order this large one from Lost Pond Looms. I have no idea what to do with the weavings I make (I can only hang so many in my home), so my friends better be prepared to receive a weaving for their birthday or any special occasion that may come up.
Have you picked up any new craft hobbies lately?
Beautiful pics. It’s so inspiring to hear about people who start a new hobby as a parent or later in life. My sister in law, a busy lawyer, took an art class with her daughter as a way to bond, and discovered she (the lawyer) has great artistic talent! Now, she paints all the time for fun and has wonderful art hanging on her walls. My cousin just started up knitting, and is a knitting fiend. It’s never too late!

I totally agree … it’s never too late!
Are any of your weavings up for sale? Would love to hang one up in our home that is still in need of decor. 🙂
A little late to the game too, but weaving is slowly growing on me, kinda tempted to try it out!
