Friday, November 24, 2006Life in the loom shop in November... Busy, busy, busy! Just like Santa's workshop! lol Randy's too skinny to pass as Santa, but he's been as busy. And we've got a houseful of company, which has been fun. Hope you are all having a great holiday, too. I'm working on Christmas presents in between other things, as are most of you, I'm sure. Us fiber people really get busy this time of year. If you need a loom, better let us know soon, and don't forget that they make good gifts in themselves. A gift that really does keep giving.  The Kid's Stuff Kit is great for beginners, even those who aren't kids. It's the same loom as our Quilt Weaver square but it comes with enough stuff to weave a little snowman you could hang on the tree.

The first one has a lovely black wig but I didn't have it for the photo. I also added a red sash and bow at the waist line. I'll get a finished photo of her, I'm rather proud of this 'off-the-top-of-my-head dress!  The sailor suit turned out cute for the second twin, but I'm not sure it's really 'her', if you know what I mean. I might try something else for her, depending on what my friend likes.Other than that, I've been helping my cousin finish up her knitted-felted purses for her up-coming trunk show. They are fabulous bags! I've already reserved mine! We're having company this year for Thanksgiving. That's great. The 'kids' are in their early 20's but still young people to liven things up a bit. It's usually just Randy and I and Grandmother and now we don't even have grandmother. We might have to try to go somewhere for Christmas, too. Maybe. There's always weather to figure in.
