sooner or later

This tiara was done by a friend of mine for a challenge four years ago - to make a tiara that had personal meaning. Peg's a great dyer and this glove was well used before being pressed into service as her crowning glory.

My first pamphlet stitched book. Written and illustrated when I was about eight or nine years old. I've scanned all the pages and I might put out a second edition with selected corrections and maybe some font changes but definitely with the original illustrations.

My granddaughter is learning to weave on the tiny antique loom I threaded a few months ago. She was watching her mommy weave on the napkins for the study group swap and decided she wanted to try it. Sooner or later ....

I put a few doodahs on this that seemed to fit the theme and so it's ready to continue on its journey. Only one more stop before it goes home to Donna.

I know, I know. What the heck is that? It's the shine on my clean kitchen floor. The freshly polished dark wood cabinets are reflecting in it on the left. The camera couldn't find any edges to focus on. But you'd have been blinded otherwise by the shine. So it's a good thing it's a bit blurry.

This is about the extent of the arting done this weekend. I've spent a lot of time in my workspace but it has been to clean and organize. You can actually see more carpeting and more tabletop now. Great progress. Still an embarrassing pit to show off to company, though. More work necessary in the next seven days. Countdown to state visit from my mom begins.

A fine toad from Rachel's garage saling.

Almost ready to weave. The heddles are threaded.
