So, I was stressed and felt like I couldn’t keep my head on straight, so what did I do? Spliced together two previously private videos (made them for some friends on Facebook) and posted them to You Tube. lol Check out the warning! Yes, I use foul language on a regular basis and I had…

Building a wool picker
Originally posted on the Spider's Workshop:
I have wanted to build a wool picker ever since I saw photos of them on the internet and learned what they did. A wool picker is a machine that pulls wool apart to make it more open. This helps clean the wool, and makes it easier to…
Jewelry Box Idea
I got this beautiful jewelry box from my sister (I love it when she cleans out her closets … it’s like Christmas). I loved the wood but as you can see, there are spaces for pictures on top. I don’t know about you but the idea of having to dust off pictures in tiny recesses…

I’m Weaving!
Well, after much trial and error (mostly me thinking I was smarter than most others and not having it work at all) I am finally weaving something! I think I posted this link before but this was basically what I did: http://www.theloomybin.com/doc/cwloom/ And, of course, I can’t choose something simple for my first project. This…
Macrame
Well, I promised a post on macrame. Since I ended up NOT doing this with my plant hangers (I ended up just knotting the cords), I’ll just post a blog I found. It’s ALL about macrame! If you know nothing about it, go ahead and start on this page: http://www.macramelovers.com/blog/how-to-macrame/macrame-2/ If you know a little,…
