Finishing Up

Posted on March 16, 2009October 4, 2021 by Jean

With the big move to the Lone Star State only a few months off, I’m trying to finish off the various projects that I have. This is a “stained” glass (what do you call it when the glass is clear textured?) piece I cut several months ago. If I work on it a little each day I should have it done in a few days.

I’m not in a hurry to finish the towels on the loom. I want them to last so that I don’t have too little time to warp another project and not enough time to finish up the towels so that I can get the loom ready to ship. I’m on the 2nd towel. I’m going to do a different treadling on each one to vary it up a bit. This one is a really quick and easy treadling that came with the first towel pattern I did.

When we moved here we had to go out and rent a 10×10 climate controlled storage room. I’m ashamed to admit that a good half of that room (as well as the 4th bedroom here in the house) is taken up by my craft supplies. And yet I felt the need this Summer to try out things I’d wanted to for a long time.

For Mother’s Day I asked for this (minus the reciprocating saw):

I’d been wanting to do woodworking for years. Dan was rewarded on Father’s Day with a Red Cedar Adirondack Chair that I built with my own two little hands using Easy-to-Build Adirondack Furniture: Storey’s Country Wisdom Bulletin.
