Building on the way!!

These photos are from a week ago and they were working on the first floor of our condo building. They are already building the second story. Our unit is on the top, the third floor, so it will be very exciting to see that getting framed in maybe a week or two.
This unit I photographed is the same as ours only the first floor. Still it is hard to tell very much with just the framed walls. We are supposed to be able to move in the beginning of February so there is still a ways to go.

This week I am working on making bookmark sized samples of my blanket fabric to send to interior designers in the area. Jess thought this would be a good way to advertise and for them to get a piece of nice handwoven fabric made out of handspun wool into their hands and then, maybe, they will take a look at the website. It has been a challenge to make a fabric that works both visually and to have a good hand for a blanket and also to seem "right" in a sample piece. The other dilemma I had was to figure out what one design is a representation of my work and would have the most general appeal. So I took the pattern from the Expedition blanket and adapted part of the border corner for the smaller number of ends in the 4" wide bookmark using the same colors. I got one done and I think the basic concept is working.
