The Farm

It's a bit of a chilly day and very windy. We had to put a new section on my cookstove chimney this morning (I used the term "we" very loosely!). So the two of them went out the window overlooking the porch in front and Noah convinced his Dad that he was a little more agile than the "old people" so he went up to the heights. I climbed out the bedroom dormer window in the back onto the flat roof (I'm much safer there) and had the cell phone dialed 91 just waiting. But it was so beautiful up there that I started taking pictures out back. We don't have much in the way of color yet but it's still beautiful to me!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!

Chocolate Hat!

I just finished knitting this hat (bottom picture) last night watching Project Runway, of course!! ;) and felted it in the washer today. Actually it is still slightly damp now but the felting went rather quickly for once!! Usually I stand by the washer and wring out the hat a million times trying it on over and over until it is the size I want. This time I was waiting for a treasury on Etsy and when I got my treasury I checked on the hat and it was done! Amazing process really! The colors in the band don't show as much as I would like but it is a beautiful hat with a wide brim and I think very flattering!!

Happy Friday, Everyone!! xo

New Scarf Warp in Greens

New scarf in the making! Though I still have to weave off the rest of the towels to free up a loom because the other loom has pink scarves and my big loom has fabric in reds which will take me a while!! But I make warps when the spirit moves me and just tie them, chain them, and put them on the loom when I can! And who can resist pumpkins!! Gary grew these and if I can get Alex home and keep Noah home for Halloween they can carve them! My Adam was a genius carving pumpkins but he is in Hawaii for a couple more years! sigh... We are finally having a beautiful, sunny, breezy day and I might find the time to ride this afternoon!

Ahhh, the triangle scarf is done!! YAY! And it's already sold, packaged up and will be mailed out tomorrow! I was hoping for my model, Katie, this morning but she can't come until Wednesday so I had to use my stand for the photos. I have 6 or 7 cuffs to photograph, too, and load onto Etsy so we will be busy on Wednesday! And if I'm lucky she will be in the riding mood!! Hugs to all!!

The Horse Show

I couldn't resist posting these pictures! These two girls went head to head all through the competition until finally the jumps were raised sooo high the last picture shows it all! He thought "NO WAY" And what a seat this girl had! I would have gone over the jump without the horse! :) It was so much fun to watch even though I was working taking notes about which jump they did, etc. We had a blast and it wasn't raining! YAY!!! Now I have to finish my pink triangle scarf because it is sold and not done! Have a wonderful Monday, everyone!!!! xo

New Triangle Scarf

I'm working on a pink (mostly) triangle scarf which I started the other day...I will probably have it off tomorrow night but I also have to go to a horse show during the day and be a scribe! It is a jumping show and I do not jump nor do I have a trailer for my horses but it's fun to watch and those kids are braver than I am! I'm hoping to catch up with Katie, my model, there and see if she can come over for photographing some time during the next week! I need her wrist and her neck!!! :) Hope everyone has a happy Sunday!! We are supposed to have sun! YAY! xo

Weaving Day for Auction Winners!!

Winding the warp for towels on the warping mill for a total of 380 threads, 11 1/2 yards long.

Loom is dressed and ready for weaving

Two towels woven on the same loom with different colors

We had a wonderful day weaving!! And my two auction winners each went home with a towel they wove. Both colors were woven on the same warp and they were beautiful! We also designed another pink scarf (blog for another day!) and dressed another loom with that! And worked some on a triangle scarf in pink also! BUT my computer was down all day because the line was bad coming from the road! The cable company sent out a big bucket truck and they stopped traffic and ran another line for me! PHEW!!! Can't live without anymore--I was bereft!!!! But all is fine now and I can get caught up today on line! YAY!

Happy Thursday, everyone!
