Last night I had the honor of meeting and listening to Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin speak about her grandmother and mother’s journey with the most deadly gynecological cancer at Tina’s Wish, an ovarian cancer research fundraiser in D.C.

Getting a little help as I ready the loom with a full size version of #3 for Sheep to Shawl team practice tomorrow. #weaving #wool #greycats

Round 3- changed the primary color way to a rusty-red and decreased sett so pattern appears larger. Thoughts? #wool #weaving #handwoven

Sampling colorways for a project, others to follow. In the meantime which do you prefer, dark or light? #wool #weaving #handspunyarn

Who needs a cat tree when you’ve got a loom to climb. #weaving #orangecats #greycats #wool #handspun

Little boy might look remorseful but he’s not apologizing for “help”.
Pattern from a recent Handwoven. Experimented with various colors in warp so circles vary. Was curious about using a variegated but regretting that choice. #orangecats #handwoven #weaving

New family members! Baby kitty needed a companion so we adopted a glamorous grey big sister! Here’s their first meet-cute! She was living in “gen pop” at the shelter so used to newbies. That contraption is one of my floor looms that little boy loves—all those loose treadle strings to play with

A pain to warp but easy to weave. A single color weft for continuity! It eventually became a scarf!

He probably wants to put a Trump Hotel on a Gaza beach

Whoops! Just learning about this platform and that videos must be less than :60 so I can’t share Day 2. Will do that going forward!

(The movie is Elf and I made pasta with marinara sans maple syrup and fruit loops)

Weaving some greens—cotton on the left, wool in the right

Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes….or both? What’s on your table? #thanksgiving

Someone elsewhere online calls him “Elonia” and I think that’s the favorite thing I’ve heard all week.
