Friday Fun

At last....the temperature has cooled a bit and the humidity is gone!!! I got up bright and early this morning; took Scarlett for her morning walk, (I was almost chilly) and got right into making dill pickles.

I used to make a couple of dozen every year when I grew my own cucumbers, but when I have to buy them, just a few will do. They look yummy already!










I'm so happy to have finished the little loom I had DH working on....drilled the holes this morning, and started pounding. This is my first warp and it wasn't the best, but I think it looks pretty darn good.....it'll look a lot better once it's been fulled.






The second one took less time and the third one went even faster.....fun and very addictive. Not sure what I'll make first with them, but for now I'm just enjoying using it.

I also have a 2" loom ready for pegs to be pounded in and then I'll be ready to try it out!

These will make great time killers traveling to NS in September....been there quite a few times and there are a lot of trees between here and there!!!!

This one I'm weaving with a pretty hand spun wool I spun a couple of years ago. I only have about 80 grams of it, so wasn't quite sure what to do with it....now I can make lots of squares with it!!!!! (My sisters think I'm crazy!!!!)

Speaking of my sister....it's her birthday next Wed. so we had her birthday lunch today! We had a good chat and lots of laughs.....great food too. After lunch four of us went golfing at a local club and had some more laughs. Here's the birthday gal relaxing with a cold one after the big game! She's wearing a new wrap and a beautiful BIG hibiscus bloom Joan presented her with! All in all I think she had a pretty good day.


This weekend's not a very busy one for us....DH has to work tomorrow and then we plan to attend a local dance.....Sunday he finally gets to stay home and take it easy....nothing planned as yet and he'll probably be happy to keep it that way! I still have to finish warping the rag rug and I have all kinds of small balls of wool to play with on my new looms! Yeah!!!!!
