last year my mom gave me her recipe for chocolate cherry bourbon balls and they're my favorite thing to make

they're not complicated but I like to make things hard on myself so I make my own candied cherries instead of using the dry ones that go in fruitcake.

dang it's fucked up out there

I'm #spinning - learning how to corespin for texture. it's keeping me sane(r).

working through the photos I took at #Lambtown last weekend

I love watching the sheepdogs run around. they are clearly having so much fun.

recently I've been learning about double two-tie twill. at some point I should try a new treadling but I like these fancy shapes too much

it reminds me so much of one of your photos - I hadn't seen that before, what a funny coincidence that I have a towel just like it 😂
a pink and orange and red towel in progress on a wooden floor loom. thick vertical stripes are crossed by thin horizontal stripes, and the weaving patterns alternate to create a stair-step effect inside the thick stripes.

orange is my favorite! 🧡 it goes with all the warm colors, it goes with all the blues, it's best friends with pink, just a warm friendly sunbeam of a color.

these were a red, pink, orange and burgundy warp, with lots of leftover bobbin stripes.

these are the non-stripey windows, for comparison

🧶 more of this #TurnedTwill experiment - what if contrast stripes? what _if_ contrast stripes! these windows are different than the non-stripey windows, in a fun way.

they're ready to go to the cat show

(they did not go to the cat show)

hello 👋poking my head in from mastodon, just to see what's going on here

these are my cats, pearl and rosie, and their favorite blanket.
a beige tabby with blue eyes and a brown tabby with yellow eyes are lying on a chair with a pile of blankets. the brown tabby is lying down on her side, winking, with one paw extended towards the camera. the beige tabby is sitting behind and on top of the brown tabby, with one paw buried in her fur.
