stuff +

the weave that I had no idea where it was going ended up like this

I used some left over orange and brown wide ribbon to weave through

as it gets tedious weaving all the way up to the top

I like it;

now to take it off this loom,

tricky part

I much prefer it if my weaves stay attached to a frame

or a border  (not like below)

"Artistry rarely compromises, it just looks for a new place to express itself." (Danielle Laporte)

I am bored with the loom weaving and attempting a wreath weave

if it turns out, I will post the result.

{fun}

here are my

flowers on the deck

 and deck steps

 changing feeding pastures is always exciting for these guys

Ben, he can't really lope or canter much, so he does fast short trotting steps {sigh}

so that is my stuff for today!

getting it done

The wind makes me restless

not like rain.   When it rains I want

to just sit and read and take naps.

Wind is disturbing and means

change, something is coming, or the

universe is angry.  It just unsettles me.

the headboard/bed frame is completed and installed

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

I have no idea what this weave is about I just got bored and

started it because it has been 55 km winds here for at least 2 days.

the garden got planted and my hoe has been in use already

to trench the rows.  It is a big job but a satisfying one.  Helps when both of

us work on the gardening together. (a rain now please)

front of house got new grass seeded

This is a Killdeer bird and she has her nest in-between the trees around the house on the black plastic.

We didn't see her until she appeared as a wounded bird (a tactic killdeer use to protect their nest)

I took a picture as she was on her 4 speckled eggs...but she was not happy!

so much to do right now, but we are retired and have the time to do lots of things.
just going to saddle up a horse next!

warp and weft

you got it... I am weaving with my new Loom

gonna make a wall hanging!

I am learning new words in the weaving world

like  "warp" and "weft" - the warp is the series of yarns or string wound lengthwise onto the loom that makes the foundation of my weaving.

The "weft" is the filling material that holds the warp together. In other words it is the pattern and different colours weaved crosswise.

I am just practicing with the yarns that came with the LapLoom kit.  Will post a completed weaving tapestry once I have figured out how to finish it off.
