I would LOVE to have looms to use for this… Hey, I do… My Cricket looms and Flips (assuming the folks are able to hold the shuttles)!!
Hmm… I wonder how I could get started offering FREE classes for mentally and/or physically handicapped kids and adults?? Anyone know???
Here’s what I’m talking about:
In Japan in the late [...]

Yesterday my friend Penny and I went to downtown Greenville to walk our dogs. Downtown Greenville is a beautiful city with park which includes many walking paths etc.
The weather was sooo grand (sunny and mild temps) that there were oodles of people (and dogs) all over the place. Libby (my dog) and Vader [...]

A huge thanks to Carolyn for inviting us all into her gorgeous lakeside home for a Leno Lace Table Runner class!
Some of the class worked on the table runner and others worked on scarves. Everyone added the Leno lace pattern into their project. We worked on Crickets, 15″ Flip Looms and 20″ Flip [...]

I’ve taken Janet Dawson’s challenge…sorta…. I’m going to do a Scarf a Week. Janet is doing a Scarf a Day but with the Flip Loom placemats and Mighty Wolf dish towels… well, I just couldn’t keep up daily!!
Here, though, is my FIRST scarf in the challenge. I absolutely LOVE the “nubbly” textures. [...]

As you can see in the [...]

I hope the Najjar brothers are getting ready!!
I have a great son-in-law. He and his brother LOVE to cook sooooo, they’re doing EVERYTHING for our Thanksgiving FEAST. There is a kind of rivalry between the bros, though… each one tries to out do the other in terms of cooking expertise! Last year’s meal [...]

Well, my first live BlogTV show went pretty well. I have to tell ya though… I was a nervous wreck. I mean, when I make my DVDs I can have all kinds of ‘do overs’ BUT not with this live broadcast. SCARY. VERY scary!!
I want to take a minute to thank everyone [...]

I am going to begin doing a series of LIVE, yep, scary LIVE “TV shows” showing how to do various things with rigid heddle looms. This will pretty much be for beginners HOWEVER, everyone is welcome to join in – the more the merrier!!
The first show will be Friday, November 20th at 10am EST. [...]

I had fun making PLARN the other day. (I THINK the word PLARN is a combination of the words plastic and yarn. Sounds right, doesn’t it?) My plarn is made from Ingles grocery store bags.
Today I wove the plarn into a small bag. Pretty weird…. cutting a plastic grocery bag into strips [...]
