Post warm/ pre- snow-ice thoughts

This is going to be pretty random...1) thank goodness for my sister-in-law--not only is she doing important research, but she is responsible for my discovering the comfort of an old-fashioned hot water bottle; 2) I think that tiered shelves are better than turn table/lazy Susans for spices; 3)it is wonderful to have the view from St.John to St. Thomas so embedded in my memory that I don't even have t draw it to weave it; 4) if Newt Ginrich is the GOP candidate I will work VERY hard for Barack Obama!

Warned you it would be random...

Resolutions?

Have to be honest--I have neither drawn nor woven since New Year's. HOWEVER, I have cleaned the fridge, made and frozen absolutely fabulous vegetable stock, shopped for and actually bought a new bathing suit, let card cos know we're going to be out of town, packed, found the camera that Mike lost (in my bedside table drawer-- oh dear I guess I lost it), replaced the head on my electric toothbrush, spent way too many hours worrying about the misinformation that is available on the Internet, and seriously considered deactivating my FB account until after November. No wonder I haven't woven or drawn...

Looming possibilities!

Inspired today by Tommye Scanlin's blog about her tapestry calendar. But my work room was too chaotic to even begin to think about weaving. So, pushing aside New Year's Day exhaustion I rearranged. I even re-rearranged:-). And I am thrilled by the outcome. I now have three looms I can work at at any moment:-)

New Year's resolutions: weave every day (even when traveling) and draw every day. Drink more water. Exhale:-) All doable...

Tomorrow I will put away Christmas ornaments, try on bathing suits, clear the decks for sybaritic travel. With a baby loom and yarn the color of the sea and of sun and sunsets!
