Despite my best intentions, I didn’t make myself actually tag scarves as I finished them. I found the little mind game I played on myself interesting. Since a scarf can’t be tagged before it’s received a final pressing, I stacked them up to press instead of doing the pressing as I went along. Did some part of my brain really think that was going to make the job easier?!
Although I didn’t have the more than four dozen scarves to tag that I did back in April, I was still facing a dozen and a half scarves that had to be tagged. And now I couldn’t put it off any longer, since I had a show that I needed to bring them to.
Thankfully, this time I made, and didn’t lose, a note about what colors and fibers I’d used so I didn’t have to go back to my invoices.
Scary looking, isn’t it? I wouldn’t expect anyone other than me to be able to decipher it. Add the crumbledness (is that a word?) and food stains and it looks like Oscar Madison wrote this one.
I still had to make a bunch of new tags, though. No matter how many tags I have in my little stash box, I don’t seem to have the ones I need.
I do love the way they look all stacked up.
In getting ready for the show, I also had to weave some bookmarks. I had only 3 or 4 in stock, so I wove up two dozen.
I thought I was doing pretty good, until I read Amanda’s blog & learned that she took an order for 2,000 bookmarks! That woman is amazing!
Here’s a sweet, little closing for you.
The ruby-throated hummingbirds like to rest on my clothesline before heading back to sip more nectar from my flowers.
Yes. Yes we do get Pilates woodpeckers. They are so much leaner and more toned than pileated.
Ah. Well that explains it. Country woodpeckers clearly don’t work out the way they should!
How is it that we get Pilates woodpeckers but no hummingbirds. Bah!
I’m amazed at no hummies. And also amused by your Pilates woodpeckers. We only have Pileated woodpeckers down here — I’m curious how woodpeckers do Pilates. Do they make inflatable balls in the correct size?
You’re bookmarks are wonderful! I love the variegated yarn and how individual each one looks!
Thanks, Amanda! I was appreciating the way you played with solid colors in yours. You have a great color sense. One of these days I’ll try your technique of weaving more than one across, sewing, and cutting the length.
