Okay.....here we go.

1) I am a born again Christian!

23) I love the summer the best and love it when the humidity is extreme. The only reason I haven't moved to the Amazon is because they 1) don't really have a lot of books there 2) Winter gives me an excuse to not leave the house.

I have been reading the results of this tag at various places including yours. It is very interesting to read little tidbits about everyone. -Renee

Fun list - thanks. I was surprised at all the things I learned about people when I thought I knew them. The list allows the trivia that doesn't fit the context of a blog. I make my bed every day too - I would never have thought to say that!!

How fun! What a neat way to learn more about you! Bless your hubby's heart... My nephew-in-law got back from his third (fourth?) tour in Iraq just before Christmas (he defuses IEDs - yikes). I can't imagine how you do it all with him gone - good for you! (Must be so hard for him, too!)

Two weeks in Moorehead Minnesota. I have a niece going to collage in Moorehead. I loved hearing about you and sure do admire both you and your husband. Sure must be hard being away from each other.

Shannon, thank you so much for your kind words on my blog this morning. Your warmth comes across even through the computer screen.

On a lighter note, I really enjoyed reading your trivia. We share African Dogs. Although, mine is a Rhodesian Ridgeback or South African Lion Dog. They, like yours, were a mixture of the Dutch colonists dogs, and the wild native dogs.

And -- I confess, I do the same thing with my laundry!! I agree--what's up with that??!! *grin*

A big thanks to your husband and to you for his service. The wives and family at home, are just as much a part and I truly appreciate the sacrifices that your young family has made.

Wishing you a wonderful, creative day,

Jane

A New Loom!

       I’ve been weaving on a Glimakra 8 harness countermarche loom for almost 10 years now.  I love it!  It weaves like a dream, it’s super heavy, I get an excellent shed when all is going well, and I have a bit of an emotional attachment to it.  The only thing that I don’t love about this loom is that I have to climb on the floor to tie up the treadles.  Depending on the pattern, I could be under there for quite some time.  I’m pretty limber and in pretty good shape but climbing under the loom is back breaking work.  So much so that I’m sometimes out of commission for the remainder of the day after.  Look how pretty this loom is though!       I cleaned out the area that this loom has been designating as it’s home and prepped for the replacement.  I got an amazing deal on a Louet Spring and couldn’t pass it up!        I’ve been doing a lot of research on looms (well, really when am I not looking at looms!) and know that I love Louet.  My Megado has served me well for many years and th

SILK!

The hardest thing to do for me, at times, is to consider the price of silk.  It is so very expensive!!!  I usually can't wrap my mind around purchasing it.  There are several sources out there that offer silk and about a year ago I purchased around 2 lbs of natural silk to dye.  A brave move for me considering the price!  Eeek!  I knew I had a pattern and I knew what colors I wanted......now to make the next step and get the project started!  I selected four hanks to be dyed and Chris and I got busy dying them in a variegated blue and a variegated green keeping them monochromatic since I was going to be using an echo weave pattern. Once the ends were counted out, the loom was dressed and I was happily weaving.  I wove two with a solid black weft......the weft was not dyed here in the studio, it was commercially dyed.   The best part about this project was that I had finished twisting fringe on the scarf with a black solid weft in diamonds, pictured below, at

You Are Not Going To Believe This Story!!! Grab a Tea, Cuddle Up and Take It In!!!

You're not going to believe this story!!! I am so much in awe that I have decided to write it all down here so everyone can read it. Honestly, it would take me an hour to tell the story and I SO want to share it with everyone!!!! Ok.....here we go: For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I purchased a compu-dobby loom in October. For those of you who do not follow my blog, I purchased a compu-dobby loom in October......this is a very expensive loom aided by a computer. My reason for purchasing this loom was that I have found that I really enjoy working with multiple shafts, designing fabric, 'playing' with different weave structures and just LOVE to dress my loom! So, I went on a mad hunt for a compu-dobby loom and came across a Leclerc Diana. After some time and consideration, I found one that would work for me and made arrangements to get it. I had toss and turns in my stomach because not only was this a HUGE purchase but, I had never used one only because I do
