I have a clock in my dining room that tells me where the tide is. Maybe there's some more interesting way to get that information too.

Huh!<br /><br />We also have approximately the same textile repertoire, although in Grade Nine I did attemptto weave a wall-hanging on a wooden loom for an Art class. It was not a success.<br /><br />Was it perhaps a darning needle that you discovered in the sewing kit?<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-34384415258961674302009-11-18T06:14:14.854-08:002009-11-18T06:14:14.854-08:00Eberle, nice post and intriguing idea.

In my 30s I was a weaver, but gave it up mostly for lack of ideas & inspiration, which is a long story. I look forward to Part 2.
