Right now we have 851 heroes waiting for adoption. Even though new Angels join every day, the reinforcements headed to Afghanistan make for a continuous need. You’ve probably already adopted (if you haven’t yet, please do!), so give someone else the opportunity to enjoy the rewards of supporting a hero: Tell a [...]
Meet some of the cutest little critters this side of the creek!

In the previous post I mentioned problems encountered with the first weave on the tabletop loom. Now for the pictures and explanation of the latest changes. I share this not only to track my own projects, but for other newbies…
Just as the business end of a spinning wheel is not the wheel but [...]
I believe in one God, Angels, and Saints. I have no doubt that God and one of his sweetest angels, teeny Great-Grandma Lula Belle Ward were watching out for me the past two weeks.
The table-top loom that I’ve been building, while it wove a few inches in an hour, required alot of [...]
There has been progress on the tabletop loom I built a couple of weeks ago as I prepared the first warp (mine and it’s). It consists of 6 yards of Aunt Lydia’s #10 cotton thread for hopefully 5 dishtowels with fringed ends.
The warp design comes from a set of dishtowels we bought last year from [...]
After spending several hours on Saturday and only getting 5 inches onto the warping board of Aunt Lydia’s no. 10 threads, I decided I had to get round balls from squared balls – What I needed was a bobbin winder.
It only took 45 minutes to convert the balls to tangle-free easy-store bobbins. [...]
One of the many butterflies that has swarmed my brain for years is weaving. I’ve always wanted to learn how. For some reason unbeknownst to me, I decided it was time to figure it out. Four weeks later, I have a 24″ counterbalance table loom that fits good on my drafting table.
I [...]
I cannot express how excited I am to see all of the information that Karlyn, Irene’s great niece, has posted on her website. What a beautiful job she has done to pull all of the information together.
Irene is a true inspiration.

I’ve discovered lots of great free audio book sites for our mp3 players. In the process, of course, my fingers started the old familiar itch to knit or crochet.
One of the books I downloaded is called “Excercises in Knitting” by Cornelia Mee on the AudioOwl website. From there I followed a link to [...]
The Hillbilly Housewife, and some of her elves’s, are hosting a virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange. If you have a family favorite, you may want to ‘gift’ it this Christmas to the virtual world.
I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful recipes and try some out. My tummy is growling already…………..

As promised, here is the pattern pdf for the Ugglets Boots. So far, the boys have worn theirs daily and the boots have held up very well. Give them a try – it’s a fun project just in time for Christmas!
With festivities around the corner, the sewing room has been stepped into high gear. I’ve started reupholstering our sad-sad pit group. One half is done at least, in preparation for Thanksgiving day parade watching and football.
I got a great deal on these fabrics at the end of summer when JoAnne’s was [...]
I turned my computer over the weekend to find AVG wants to update to version 9.
A new added feature is they want to run an optimization scan of my computer. “It will only take a few minutes…”
So this morning, after, 2 days, 5 hours, 23 minutes, 29 seconds I decide to [...]
I am working my way through all of the fabric that I’ve purchased over the months in preparation for our winter growth spurts. One of the things I had bought was a sueded /faux sherpa combo from Hobby Lobby. I bought two yards of each in pink, tan, and chocolate brown. [...]
We decided to get out and have some fun rummaging around antique stores yesterday. This beautiful gem caught my eye. She was labeled simply “Primitive Spinning Wheel” with a price tag of 125.00. With money tight, I ran my hand around it, and continued window shopping. Unbeknownst to me, Slobo [...]
1-ply, 2-ply, 3-ply, and still counting.
