November Can't Believe It's Almost Thanksgiving Update

Hi friends,

OMT is very busy this time of year. We are in the process of product development for our Spring 2012 line. Here are some sneak peek images below:

It's starting to come together..

Dyed warp ready to be put on loom.

Spring 12 yarns for handloomed treasures!

Starting in January, I will be based in Kampala with regular trips to Gulu. It makes the most sense for all the design to be housed in our Kampala workshop. I'm excited to get to know our Kampala tailors better. This does not mean that I won't be spending time with the Gulu tailors. I will continue to train our Gulu tailors with each new design and checking quality. I'm very much at peace with this new direction in my life here in Uganda.

This weekend, I'm headed up to Jinja to white water raft the Nile. Pray that I don't get swallowed up or eaten by a crocodile! (Just kidding, Mom, it's very safe. Promise!)

Love to each of you!
Lauren

Happy Halloween!
