So I guess it was Thursday that I warped my table loom, again with recycled silk, and started weaving.   When you work with "yarn" the thickness of thread it takes a while to get any progress.  I worked on it some thursday and Friday and saturday I spent in Chickasha, Oklahoma at a craft show.  I weave on the inkle loom all through shows so that takes care of thoe 2 days.  Sunday and yesterday when I got a chance, I went downstairs and worked on the table loom.  This morning I cut it off.  I really like the results that I was getting. even the size of the pattern was nice. It just wasn't going fast enough.  SO I now have a 2nd book mark that's shorter than the first one but even prettier:
                                I don't know yet what I will work on today.  I have electricity in the garage now so I really want to be out there working on the mud and tape so we can get the walls painted and the floor down. ...<< MORE >>

Ok, so I remembered that I'm supposed to be weaving.  This is hard.  It takes thought to begin something new that's not just an inkle band like the bracelets.  But I got it together.  And I'm realizing that this challenge could help me with my OCD-like problems. I'll tell you more about that sometime but not tonight.
So here's what I did tonight:

Well, here it is.  Day 3 and I have no weaving to show for yesterday.  I spent half the day with Claudia and the other half half asleep on the couch watching the election results coming in.  If you aren't in the Oklahoma thread regularly on Etsy, you might not know that Claudia was laid off on Monday.  So it was only natural that we hung out on her first day out of work.  So here is what I DID do yesterday:
Claudia and I went to Micheals.  I got the Martha Stewart hole puncher for 40% off.  Neat tool.  Let me know if you wanna come over and use it A little stab binding and some TEENY clothes pins. ...<< MORE >>
