THE TOOLS pt II
This is part two for the tools I use when looming. I wonder if anything in part one was surprising to you?
The Tools
I thought it would be fun to show the tools and process of Looming Seed beads. This first part is some of the tools I use. Some you probably expect and maybe some you don’t.
Art Show Buts
I recently showed some of my loomed seed bead art at a local art show. I was told bout it and invited while I was doing the craft fair in town. I was rather excited and, frankly quite nervous about doing an art show. I had just started to get used to the idea of my stuff being art and…
JERRY ROGUE JETS
RIDE ON THE ROGUE RIVER On our recent annual Anniversary trip we decided to knock off a bucket list item of my husbands. That was to go on a jet boat white water ride up in Oregon. Ever since he was a young man, the Hubs has wanted to go. He heard about it from a customer in his Dad’s…
Folding My Clothes the Marie Kondo Way
Well I think so The other day I read an article in Better Homes and Gardens about Marie Kondo and her success in helping people organize and simplify their lives. People do like to pick apart her methods and there are plenty of “rebuttal” methods out there. Some even criticize her methods as only for the privileged people. There are…
Emphsyema Update

The 3″R’s” Closed for Business I was talking with my husband the other day about recycling. The biggest recycling company in our area (maybe state or even country wide)went out of business. It left a lot people holding the bag, (well not literally), full of plastic bottles and empty cans of soda and energy drinks. I was thinking that when…
EMPHYSEMA UPDATE
AUGUST 2019 How to think? Lately I have been a spate of articles and blog posts on overcoming physical barriers to health. These articles are usually focused on disease and are intended to give the person a new perspective on life despite their whatever issue is. There are lists ( one said blogging about your disease was bad), helpful hints,…
My Own Green Acres
Writing Club Prompt “Theme Song” @tlwhitaker 2019 “You are going to have to move.” He blurted out. The woman looked a bit confused. “Whatever for?” she replied. She was sitting in her chair, the one no one, but her, liked. That was fine, it was for her anyway. The floral fabric, loudly proclaimed that this was her throne, that no…
Yarn Fibers
As a crocheter and a crafter I use a lot of yarn. I never really gave the type of fiber I was using much thought as I use what works for my project, whether it be cotton or acrylic yarns. I sometimes use what I call Artisan yarns, those made in small batches from hobby farms. My main focus as…
