Grandson Chris finished his bear today. The yarn is some carder waste that I spun up. Chris started on this four days ago and got it sewn together today. He had quite a bit of advice from Gramma but did the weaving and most of the assembly by himself. Now his little brother wants to try. He got about half a block woven today and seems to have the hang of it, tho his attention span is a bit short.
Today Karen (their Mom) read the article in the new Spin-Off by Veronica Cox that featured a picture of my loom, and now wants to try her hand at Kool-Aid dying and the spinning wheel. More fiber addicts! 😀

We celebrated Karen’s big 4-oh last night. I BBQed some ribs (I’m a pure amateur at the grill but it was eatable! lol) and we baked a brownie cake… the chocolate-ist thing I could think of! It was a noisy little family celebration but fun. I told her that having a 100 year old woman at the party was the best way I could think of to make 40 feel young! lol Grandmother thought that was a pretty good joke, too!
