My parents are extremely busy people. I really don’t know where they find the time to do all the things that they do.
My mother is in the midst of choreographing a ballet that she premiered close to thirty years ago. She is still teaching ballet as well as Tai Chi, Ballroom dancing, and Bobbin lace. Another one of her hobbies is learning to play the Celtic harp.
My father being a reniassance kind of guy decided to make her one. He didn’t stop at one he made more and graduated to a floor model.

The floor model is named the Catherina in honour of my mother.

They both weave and yes my father has made the looms they use. They spin wool and yes my father has made numerous spinning wheels.
I’m not sure how much I will see of him this summer as he will also be doing repairs on boats for the local boat charter in Gore Bay.
I do have the final installment on the making of RKilt hose. In this video you will see the nearly completed hose before it is handed to my mother for final inspection and the stitching of the toe.
