Weaving and questions

I volunteered at Ardenwood Historic Farm today. They had a nice crowd there and I was pretty busy answering questions/demonstrating, etc. I was working on the table loom outside on the porch, as well as preparing rag weft for the rug on the loom inside and weaving on the rug inside.

Of course, I get questions, which I welcome. I like people to show their interest. Twice today, though, I was asked if I wouldn't like to mount a TV on the wall right above the loom. At that point, I realize they really don't get how much concentration is required to weave. I tell them I can't even listen to books on tape while weaving.

But at least they're asking questions.

I did a little sewing project with my grandsons. They each sewed on a button and then made a little pouch. Nothing fancy, but their concentration was admirable.





Also, my oldest grandson has been doing origami like crazy the last few weeks. His mother does origami, and he picks it up from her and from some cute little books he has.





He made all these different colored birds, and his mom hung them up on a string. Very cute. Here is a closer photo of them below.




Summer continues along. School starts soon.
