The birdbath is set up again on its platform and the water is flowing! Bill even weed whacked around the area
so that it is very neat and functioning again!
It doesn't take long to overheat outdoors so I was glad to head back inside and decided to face up to a much dreaded chore....winding a new warp. I mess up the counting and get bored wrapping all of those threads so I can only work for half an hour at a time but I am 3/4 of the way done now
and can't believe I was such a baby! I should've remembered my Mother's advice to give even 10 minutes a day to a distasteful task and it will get done!
There are so many threads for this pair of dish towels
but I am getting excited for the next step which is one step closer to the weaving!
(the next steps are winding, threading and sleying THEN weaving! lol)
When I couldn't stand any longer, I did a bit of this!
Aren't they cute?!
I always take my winding in little bites. It is boring and if my mind wanders I'll make lots of mistakes.
ReplyDeleteLove the little stuffies! I am trying to devote no less to 30 minutes a day to the garden - just so things don't get out of hand!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute little animals!! I like your moms advice - I should heed that - just 10 minutes... Shew ! Stary cool!!
ReplyDeleteLove the birdbath all set up. I can imagine how happy the birds in your yard are with the water to relieve the heat for them.
ReplyDeleteI do not understand weaving at all. The words are foreign to me but I sure do love the finished product. :-)
Your amagarumi's are so cute. Are they for you or your grands?
Blessings,

"Distasteful" is a tactful and elegant way to put it...
