2020, wow, as a kid in the year 19… something (like just after the earth’s crust cooled) you never really think that you’ll see the year 2020. Now, here I am making plans for what I will learn to do this year! Amazing! To that end, I do have a beautiful loom that I would really love to learn to use with more efficiency. It’s a double loom by Kblooms. I want to use this to make hats, scarves, maybe even strips of loom knit fabric for blankets.
As a family we have a subscription to BluPrint. This I plan to use to help me improve skills like learning better techniques for finishing projects. Perhaps making accessories for adults like shawls. As part of a more concerted effort to offer more choices in the way of accessories for those wishing to participate Christian worship. More about that at another time Of course we can’t forget the two charities that function out of this house. Northern Adirondack Hats of Hope and Bangwe Babies Mission are vital to both our own community and the community of Bangwe in Blantyre District Malawi. --Lyn
For myself, I’m looking forward to expanding my skills as a sewist. Using BluPrint classes, I want to learn how to create clothes for humans, not just my established dolls. Seeing what’s trending on markets such as DressLily, I can see things that I could make if I had the required skills. I’ve started small, some skirts for myself, but hey, progress is progress.
Another skill I want to learn is making custom dolls. With the variety of lovely things on the market and the number of customisers out there, I’ve gotten so much inspiration for things I’d like to try. It may only extend to making custom outfits, but that’s enough for me. The third thing I want to try is making costumes and experimenting with makeup. I’ve always loved costumes and stage makeup and the art of making them, so it’s something I’ve been dying to try. I’ve always been a bit “chicken” about it, to be honest, but I have it in the blood, Mom is quite a hand with makeup and clothes. She gave me the push I needed to explore my interest in that area. Here’s to a great new year! -T.K.
