    Random Thoughts on a Sunday

      The yarn in this warp is 50/50 pale blue and a pale but fairly ‘bright’ green.  You might want to biggify it (click on the image) so that you can see the two colours better. Frankly, I wasn’t sure the combination would ‘work’ but as I beamed the warp, the overall appearance was one…

  • Great Big Number

           Well, I made it.  Wasn’t sure I would, for a while.  But Life is Like That. We awoke to a nice sunny day.  And no, we have no plans to ‘celebrate’.  We don’t generally do that.  Doug usually forgets his own birthday, never mind mine.  And neither of us *needs* gifts.  If…

    Holding On

      This is the walkway I used to walk in the ‘before times’.  I would turn the corner and there would be the row of rose bushes, burdened with blossoms.  A sight for sore eyes – and soul – every time.  Gone now, but never forgotten.  A memory I cling to as the world wobbles.…

      new design in progress This is the beginning of my working on a ‘new’ design, since the current warp is coming along nicely and should be off before my yarn order arrives. I’ve had several conversations lately that were not about exactly the same thing, but kind of revolved around the same topic –…

      In times of trouble… Things (waves hands) are very chaotic right now and no one knows what will happen, or even what they are seeing via the media and/or the internet is in any way, shape or form, accurate. I know this helpless feeling – it’s not ‘new’.  In a life this long(ish) we…

    Ch-ch-changes

      A while back, I made a series of rayon chenille and bamboo scarves with words as the design.  This one is ‘Create Joy’. I’m registered for a class on Pain Management and last week they talked about mental health.  Now, I’ve been to counselling, learned some really helpful stuff (no, it was not easy…

    Tactile/Textiles

      This is one of the towels I cut off the loom and wet finished (and hemmed last night) and really like. No, it’s not ‘perfect’.  There are longer ‘loops’ at the selvedge than I would prefer, but they will still dry dishes.  And at the rate I’m giving towels away right now (nothing is…
