Saturday, November 22, 2008A Customers project Ineke Elsinga, who owns a shop in the Netherlands designed this bag using the tiny Weaver Square and has had her project published in the Dutch magazine Handwerken zonder Grenzen. I'm tickled pink, as you might guess! We are just about ready to ship her third order for looms as well. I have to depend on Babble Fish, but if any of you speak Dutch, or even if you don't, you might enjoy taking a look at her web site: www.tissien.nl Just goes to show that fiber crafts are a universal language.

Not all, but most of the leaves are down now and the sky this morning was deep blue with streaks of clouds and these three contrails. It reminded me of Grandmother, who used to enjoy counting them. She called them comets. I always thought those on the horizon looked like the rockets we used to watch taking off from Canaveral. They look like they are going straight up, an illusion, I know, but fun.Hope your wood shed is full and your stove warm!  posted @ 09:59 AM PST [link] Wednesday, November 19, 2008Winter cats Yes, I know everybody's cats look alike, but I thought they were just too cute. Robin doesn't usually share my chair. I have been letting them go outside these sunny warm-ish days but they usually only spend an hour or so and in they come. Can't say I blame them. It's not real cold out but neither is it as cozy as it is in here by the fire. Not that I get to spend much time here these days. Seems like we're both in the looms shop more often than we are in the house. All things considered that's good, but... !  Sis and her husband are coming down for Thanksgiving. Just a day trip to share turkey and blessings, but we'll enjoy the visit. My brother & wife were here last weekend. He's become quite the international guitar maker, one is going to Sweden this week. I think that's pretty neat! Way to go Baby Bro! There's a link over there on the right. He has pictures and little music files, if you'd like to see.
