"Don't wish me happiness I don't expect to be happy all the time....It's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My loom

Women have been weaving for thousands of years and until recently they all used what was around them to build their looms with. It is possible to still do this today. This loom is a discarded picture frame and the remaining loom components are various weights of cardboard, string, and masking tape- things I already had. The loom is sitting on my kitchen table and the weaving is 3" across. It is a rug for my daughter's dollhouse. Sent from my iPhone

  2. What talent you possess... how wonderful to know you are joining the ranks of women throughout the ages with your creations! It is a lost art. How did you come to learn it? Your daughter will be very excited to have such a lovely addition to her doll house!

  4. That is fantastic. It seems to me that you are an example of the good that can come of being home where you can pay attention to natural rhythms of life and fully focus on whatever task or project you want to tackle. For myself, I was amazed, looking back, at how much I could learn and accomplish when I didn't have to work my schedule around someone else's priorities, and be distracted by daily comings and goings. You show the meaning of Less Is More.
