Crazy as a Loom

Sunday, February 26, 2012

Ah, Sunday

aToday was a quiet day in the studio, just me and four needy cats.  Five, if you count Next.
And of course, we have to count Next.


I spent most of it upstairs, in the big bedroom, weaving on the Macomber.
Finished this turquoise shawl.


I love those days when I take Roy for a walk BEFORE I do anything else.  It feels good.


I usually drink tea with a little milk, except that there wasn't any, so  I went with it straight up.


Then I decided to finish off the warp with a little fabric.
I haven't figured out what I am going to make out of it yet.


Now here is a little video I took with my Iphone, and I admit it is a blatant promo for double ended bobbin winders.   This is a Leclerc, which I can order for you.  It is fantastic.


Just watch.  I can't tell you how much time I have saved using this, and how much I LOVE it.
Sometimes the simplest of things make me happy.



                                                                                         Ignore this one.....it doesn't work, and I have
                                                                                                    been unable to remove it.


Hope your Sunday made you happy, in lots of little ways.

I always enjoy your pictures. Your surroundings are so pretty and cozy.

I have an electric bobbin winder that my hubby made for me with a little motor and an old sewing machine pedal. I can't imagine winding any other way. You're right, it saves so much time. It's fun too! :-)

What a restful-looking day. That bobbin thing is cool.

Love the bobbin winder...still using my drill! Even after 20 years!

I love the picture of the table with the lamp on it. I want to live there. And having all those looms nearby would be a bonus.

It's nice that Roy let's you walk him when you like. Our dog has an internal clock, 4:00 is walk time, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Hey Hilary
Wasn't able to view the video you had taken. Possible could be me but I thought I would write a comment just in case....
Looks like a wonderful day you had!!!
