How I spent my Easter vacation

I didn’t weave at all on Easter Sunday. But I do have a nice side shot of LV’s wrap, with a natural cotton/hemp weft, from my weaving on Saturday.

Instead, I started the day by giving Jack a springtime haircut. I intended to do before & after pix, but forgot the before so just the after isn’t particularly impactful. Instead, look at the nice material he left for the birds to use in their nest building!

I don’t know if the birds will think it’s great stuff or not. I’m going to leave it there in the yard for a few days and see what happens.

After that I played in the dirt for a while. I got an area that was crammed with violets and lily of the valley cleaned out. My neighbors were happy to get the lily of the valley, and I want to plant clematis in that space, so it’s all good. After that I spent some time figuring out the best way to use my new Garden Weasel edger. Once I got the hang of it, it worked quite well. Affordable, easy to use – I recommend this tool.

Then I spent a bit of time just hanging out with Jack, reading a book, and taking a walk – all in today’s really beautiful, warm sunshine. Especially appreciated since we’re looking at a week of partly wet with cool-to-cold temps.

Next I took a mess of photos of placemats and towels and got them uploaded to my website Handwovens for the Home page.

A productive and enjoyable day.
