Morning everyone..waving Looking good for today , sun is shining, chance of showers sometime today..I'll just be enjoying the pool today as daughter and her family are all going to a Cleveland Indians ballgame this afternoon... They ask me to go and although I would love to, my back doesn't like me walking that far(in the stadium)..

Everyone have a great day and travel safe if you're on the road..:heart: happy

Christina, are you not able to replace the parts for your tapestry stand? Maybe I could help you locate the parts here...

I'm sorry I haven't replied before now.
I did make the 2 from my own design. I had to do them on squared graph paper but I don't have them now. I made them a long time ago & have lost the papers & other stuff through moving over the years. The worse thing I've lost is parts of one of my tapestry stands! I don't mind he you copy the designs. Do you have one of the newer larger looms? I only had a small one but it served its purpose. I did in to a shop & ask if they would sell them for me but I was told they could only sell them for less than £5 ! I decided not to bother because as you know you put so much time into setting a loom & the hours it takes.
[/qOv




Over the years I have designed some of my patterns and also found others online or in books.. Sometimes I will find a pattern and then change it to suit me.. I have both a larger and small loom and yes, it takes a lot of work and time to just get started.. I found that I enjoy bead weaving a lot more just for that reason. Haven't done much with any of that for a while but want to start again..I'm hoping to take a silversmithing class sometime soon..I like to make my own jewelry as I like things that are a little different from what's in the stores..I did make most of the jewelry for my granddaughters wedding this past June and everyone loved it...

<--I have a black and white "tuxedo" cat who looks after me when I'm laid up (surgerys) lol...He's 10 yrs old and gets lots of attention. He allows me to share my home with him...lol

When I was 3 and my dad was in the army, a guy in his unit sent me a Border Collie, on the train, all the way from Texas. His name was Trooper as my dad and his friend were paratroopers..

In my lifetime I have had a ferret, monkey, several raccoons, guinea pigs, skunk, a red fox, lots of cats and an Iguana..Before my hushband passed away, we had a West Highland terrier who was a beautiful dog but at the time I was not able to take care of him. Found him a wonderful home with children who gave him tons of love.. They still send me pics of him..

I do beading on a loom, also beadweaving..Your jewelry is lovely.. I love the black multi color necklace, did you design this this or do you have a pattern? Maybe we could share some patterns as I have a couple of notebooks full of patterns..I also made jewelry for a long time, all styles and lots of different beads, gemstones and crystals.. I'll try to post some of my things...I sold a turquoise necklace (chunky turquoise beads)and matching earrings for $300.00..Lady didn't even blink an eye...lol

Rode Harleys off and on since I was 10..My dad was a professional stunt man with his own show. That's what I grew up with, had a Harley all during high school. You didn't have to have a license then to ride a bike. Got a new sportster 1200 in '09 but gave up riding it last summer as I have back problems again and had a knee replacement..traded it and let my son pick out a bike..his inheritance....lol I did get to go to Sturgis in '09 though, it was AWSOME!!!!
My dad's first bike was an Indian..He said it was a great bike...

Hi Viv, No broken mirrors but it sure felt like it, especially the pc crashing, I'm lost without it! Thanks for the prayers, I'll pass them along to my friend..

So how IS he and his #2 doing?



I do not know, I do not care.
The sad thing is that I have nothing to pass along to our daughter.



Sad but maybe she wouldn't want the ring as the marriage didn't work out.. My granddaughter refused to wear or even have a piece of her mothers wedding dress sewn into her dress because the marriage only lasted 4 years and was a messy divorce..Some things are better left in the past..BTW, granddaughter had a beautiful wedding and her mother(my dau) got over it...:smile:

Good morning mingle friends...
Viv, so sorry to hear about your friend..I also just lost a friend to cancer, such a horrible disease!! Another friend's husband had a 4 way bypass on his heart while I was on vacation and is not doing so well.. prayers for all that need it...

I went to Florida with my daughter and husband for a week, had a great time but the day we left I was having back spasms again, really bad ones..of course my muscle relaxers were at home...lol

In the week before I went, my room air conditioner went out(landlord got me a new one while I was gone) my car headlight went out(son fixed it)and my pc crashed.. Said "the hell with it" and went on vacation....lol

Hope everyone is well and having a great day! flowerforyou :smile:
