WeaveThings: The End of Summer Hibernation
http://weavethings.blogspot.com/2011/09/end-of-summer-hibernation.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. The End of Summer Hibernation. My summer hibernation is coming to a halt. And what a mess I've made of the studio over the summer. Cleaning, cleaning - it won't be long. But in the meantime, here is something new. Something else I love to do is cook. Here is some "Pain a l'Ancienne" - from " The Bread Baker's Apprentice - Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread. A Very Wet Dough. This Came Out Wonderful. With Butter and Jam. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Crazy As A Loom.

WeaveThings: September 2011

Tuesday, September 13, 2011. The Glaze Was A Little Runny. Pumpkin Blueberry Pound Cake - Right Out Of The Oven. I got this recipe from a fellow weaver who lives in upstate New York. Hilary, of Crazy As A Loom. I just found the recipe today and swore that I'd hit the store and get the ingredients that I didn't already have. And, I did! Waiting For It To "Cool Completely" Before Topping With Glaze! I'll post more pics once it's cool and has a coating of glaze. Hilary was right. It's Yummy! DB = Dark Brown.

WeaveThings: June 2010
http://weavethings.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 4, 2010. I recently found out that my good friend and former manager, Melissa Andretta, will be in town from cheery ol' London. She asked me for an acid green scarf, with blue and red stripes, a long time ago. A long time ago, I purchased the yarn and wound the warp. It's been sitting on the shelf ever since. I'll be meeting with her on 9 July 2010, with a gift! Must weave. scarf. All wound on the warping board. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Playing With The. Stand Mixer? Yes, that's right! I have been playing with the KitchenAid mixer. Making butter! Cindy and I were talking at work about making 'things', and I got to wondering, if you could make butter with a KitchenAid mixer. Well, you can! I wanted to try it. So, I did. Once again, I didn't take pictures of the process. I was not planning on posting it. WeaveThings / Butter? Hmm, but I say again, what the hey? Shortly after, it happened! Links to this post. Last ...

WeaveThings: Oops!
http://weavethings.blogspot.com/2011/05/oops.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Red and White Bamboo. The original title was "Shawl In Red and White". But then months later, I realized that I had taken the photos and posted them here, but never hit the publish button. Oops! But here it is. This was for a friend of Dr S. 20" wide x almost 72" long. The Recipient Was Very Happy. Now this weekend I'm off to the beach. And then we'll get back to this party. I have indigo seeds to plant, rugs to weave and then some. What is this pattern?

WeaveThings: Good Intentions, I Do / Alive Again
http://weavethings.blogspot.com/2011/10/good-intentions-i-do-alive-again.html
Saturday, October 1, 2011. Good Intentions, I Do / Alive Again. Everyday at work, I tell myself that when I get home, I'm going to sley that reed, thread those heddles, start the weaving. And? When I do get home I'm often too tired to even think about it. I usually curl up on the sofa and watch a few episodes of Brothers and Sisters. I was able to sleep with it on! Even better, I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and alert. I saw the Dr. on Tuesday and he went over my sleep study results. Sc...So, t...

WeaveThings: March 2011
http://weavethings.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Crammed Heddles = Broken Warp Threads. I started threading heddles from the back of the loom - from the right hand side. There's a definite center mark where the heddles cannot cross. When I got to the center of the draft, there were still a lot of heddles that were on that side. I know I should have moved them, but, I didn't. I started threading from the center onwards to the left - leaving a jumble of heddles just to the right of the center line. Big, AWEsome, HUGE mistake!

Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Lillstina Counter-balance Loom - Sweden. Well, not so 'my' is my Lillstina! It belongs to my friend, Maria, who lives in Reykjavik, Iceland. Since she couldn't move it with her, due to lack of space, I'm the current foster parent. I'm saving up for when the day comes and I have to purchase my own. Eek! And not so little is 'my' Lillstina! It measures a wide 46" across! The widest piece I have ever woven on the loom so far has been my rug. Links to this post. Sunday, July 25, 2010.
