Life runs in the fast lane for a short while.

This little blog is because it has been far to long since my last blog. We've have a house full of guests and events. Fun with relatives like a Dodger came. Busy with enrolling our youngest son into a school leaving me feeling like an end of homeschooling is both a blessing and a sorrow. But he assures me that he will see me every day!!! He's 10 and very kind, I pray school doesn't change his sweet spirit. His Daddy is also very kind so there is hope.

I also have been driving a lot for the boys regular actives. Time in between has been spent at a book store and I have found a few good books and magazines to recommend. "Contemporary Loom Beading by Sharon Bateman" is very useful. I have woven many items on several different sizes of looms; a tapestry loom, a Ashford Rigid Heddle, and a Jack Loom from Tom Golding.

However, never have I woven on a beading loom. This book is in depth about the process of weaving on an inexpensive loom from a craft store and it has the appeal of being very portable. I plan to take it with me on these trips and weave a guitar strap for my oldest son. He is taking lessons in school and really enjoys it, he even practices! I will probably blog about this process more once school starts. Here is a picture of the loom I bought for this purpose.
