weaving wonderland

spent a beautiful morning surrounded by sheep, llamas, wool, and delicious lamb with a splendid individual. (yeah, i ate lamb)

insane hand-loomed blankets and pillows. oh, some day.

pop o'color

my loot

great vintage spindles with the best wear from their forgotten days

super scratchy wool that i may regret, but i could not pass up.

scarf 2

goal was to make this completely different than the first. it looks nearly the same. the colors didn't blend they way i planned. oh well, guess i need to start another one.

scarf attempt

My third attempt at making a scarf. It took about 4 months to finish the first one for my kell bell. Next up, starting a scarf for my love 2.5 years ago. I had a horrible setup and I quit before I finished 6 inches. After last week's goodwill loom find, I was able to "get-ur-done" in 3 days.

As the rain starts, I am excited to spend my evenings weaving away.

Hopefully the first of many.

bag time

i needed to add a few options to the trusty book bag to make it a little more versatile.

before: painful straps and limited pockets (1).

supplies from oregon leather co.

after:the strap = satchel, plus there are more pockets for my keys to get lost.

food

artichoke : fail

figs : success

opt 1: fig wrapped in bacon. opt 2: fig topped with blue cheese, honey and balsamic .

lost lake

rat race in the city one day, surrounded by pines the next.
