The ladies weave belts...

For their first weaving project most of the ladies wove belts.  Here in the arctic these belts are often used to keep a child inside ones parka by tying it around their waste.  I can't count the amount of times that I've been chatting with a woman and hear a squeak coming from behind them, not realizing that their child was in their parka the entire time.  It's the best way to keep their little one warm.

Below Mable wears her first handwoven belt.

Thanks Heather. I know, I feel blessed every day to have this time with these wonderful ladies.

It has been warming up these days, but the wind storms don't help.
