Here it is just before going into the weekend, when I hope to spend hours on it. Did I have a time with getting this correctly warped! It would have been fine the way it was, I think. I decided to remove the paper from the loom and retie the warps on the bottom. That…

I’m wondering if I should rename it 50 Shades of Green. This will be the most complex tapestry I’ve ever done. I’m so excited about the challenge! This rascal is why I have to keep my loom in my closet.

Almost there. Maybe by the end of September? I had forgotten about my community garden plot. It was bursting with flowers and the red amaranth had gone to seed. The green cotton is still struggling (planted too closely) but blooming. Maybe I’ll get some bolls this year if it doesn’t turn cold suddenly. Lots of…

Wednesday, August 27, our last day at Cannon Beach… The famous Haystack Rock. Not nearly as crowded as an August day on our beaches here. At Wave Crest Inn Shirley’s little tapestry Flowers around Pam’s cabin Pam drove Linda and I back to Portland where we stayed at the fabulous Lion and the Rose Victorian…
