Well, it's placemats in Log Cabin this time. I put a 12 yard warp on yesterday, got my first four done today. Log Cabin is an humbling pattern. Others may throw the shuttle without much forethought, but I have to stay tuned in when weaving Log Cabin. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a kind of meditation in itself. Becoming immersed in a pattern certainly makes the time fly!
I also dressed the Hammett yesterday. I absolutely HATE having both looms naked. I thought I would get to rugs on the Hammett today, too, but ended up sanding my staircase for the greater part of the afternoon. This is something I've been putting off for a few weeks. Finally got it done today. I've been keeping company with paint samples pretty seriously now for a couple weeks, and will try to get to the paint store tomorrow and get started on this project with some primer for the stairs!
Interestingly, I finally decided the colors I want on my walls are the grayed colors: blues, grayed sea green, purples, brick red. When I got to the point of agreeing with myself that yes, these are the colors I like, it struck me that these are the colors I gravitate to in my woven projects, too. Duh!! Some people have to be hit over the head. We'll see how I like them on my walls.
