Starting Afresh

2015 was the year that I found a new calling - I set up Connected Threads Asia with my good friend. [Pssst - do follow us for any event updates!] It felt amazing to start a new community initiative, but then at the same time, I could see I was getting so carried away with my workshops and talks that my making journey was falling through the cracks.

2016 will be about being persistent with new techniques I enjoy working with, and definitely more making. Making things makes me feel happy and it gives me a sense of calm. 

It doesn't mean discontinuing what I'm doing now. It just means:

#1 managing my time a little bit better

#2 being better at jotting down my ideas

#3 being consistent

2016 will be about FLOURISHING.

Here's a little bit of what I've been doing over the past few months. I was inspired by my earlier weaving projects and sashiko work to make my own loom and weave fabric scraps.

I love this technique. It's Sakiori and it's still upcycling/repurposing. Find out more in my next post, but let me know what you think!
