Major Update to The SeatWeavers’ Guild Website
December 21st, 2008 · Comments Off · What's New
The SeatWeavers’ Guild official website at SeatWeaversGuild.org recently made a major update, adding several new pages and additional information about the first ever guild of its kind in North America.
One of our main purposes is to help educate the public and members on these nearly lost arts of chair caning and wicker repair; so they don’t really become lost to us entirely.
Read more about this unique and innovative group and join as a member or supporter of this fine historical craft.
And be sure to “SAVE THE DATE” for our 2nd Annual Meeting and Workshop on July 31-August 3, 2009. Posted both at the guild website and here on WickerWoman.com on the Events Calendar page.

New blog name and header for my blog
December 7th, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, I changed the name of my blog a while back, from Wicker Woman’s Blog to Weavin’ Wicker Woman, which I think is a better name for it.
Then too, I’ve been experimenting around with the background image. And have just what I’ve been looking for in the woven wicker image that I incorporated into the header this morning.
I took the image from a wicker restoration project done by Richard Hall in Georgia. Earlier this year he was commissioned to reweave two seats and a settee from an antique airplane. Turns out that all three had to be completely rewoven from scratch, but Richard managed to pull it off in great stride.
And although he kept telling me he had no experience in wicker restoration, and preferred doing chair caning and other types of seatweaving, he did a perfect job on this wicker project!
You can see all of Richard’s photos which are posted to the Seatweaving, Chair Caning and Wicker Repair Forum album on PictureTrail.com by clicking on this link.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Day
December 7th, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with all the family gathered around for a day spent reminiscing and reflecting on all the blessings we’ve enjoyed over the years.
Great-grandmother, grandparents, parents and children feasted on the traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, with a few experimental dishes thrown in for good measure.
Our son and his wife held the dinner at their house and cooked the main portion of the dinner–which was perfect! Good times were had by all.
