I spent about 3 hours outside yesterday, half of it weeding and half turning my compost.  Or attempting to turn the compost.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom half of my compost was frozen solid.  Given the way my compost bin works (3 bins &#8211; fresh, mid-range, finished), I had to turn all of bin 1 from last year into bin 2 so that I could start re-filling bin 1 with all my fresh weeding work.<\/p>\n<p>That involved a shovel &#8211; not too bad but not effective &#8211; and a pick-axe &#8211; lots of swinging, lots of energy.  I got about half of the bin moved yesterday, and decided I needed to let it sit and the warm temps overnight and today do their work.  Two short-ish work sessions today and it is done.  Whew!<\/p>\n<p>So then I took some pix of HR&#8217;s finished baby wrap on my porch with the overcast sky.  The color is very good.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished.jpg\" alt=\"HR&#039;s finished baby wrap\" width=\"438\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished.jpg 438w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished-146x150.jpg 146w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HR-finished-400x410.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Given all the Federal requirements, I had some custom weaving labels made.

I do have a problem when the mom orders a cotolin weft, or a silk weft, since all my labels had to be the same, with a minimum order of 300 labels.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was time to start measuring the warp for AT &#038; her friend.  This warp has 8 colors &#8211; more than I&#8217;ve used in any other wraps so far.  <\/p>\n<p>The day was warm enough that I carried my warping mill outside to the porch.  Seemed like a good idea.  Hah!  The wind was so strong that I couldn&#8217;t wait to finish up a color and carry everything back inside&#8230;I watched the top half of a tree near my pond snap off with the wind.  YIKES!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s bout 1 of AT&#8217;s wrap on the mill: colors from top to bottom are jeans, jeans &#038; pale mauve (1 thread of each), and pale mauve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-1.jpg\" alt=\"AT&#039;s baby wrap, bout 1\" width=\"332\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-1.jpg 332w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-1-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-1-110x150.jpg 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now pale mauve, cayenne &#038; magenta (1 thread of each), and bright yellow &#038; pale orange (1 thread of each).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-2.jpg\" alt=\"AT&#039;s baby wrap, bout 2\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-2.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-2-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next up is the rest of bright yellow &#038; pale orange (this shot is more accurate for the color), then turquoise &#038; bright yellow (1 thread of each), &#038; turquoise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3.jpg\" alt=\"AT&#039;s baby wrap, bout 3\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally, turquoise, peacock &#038; turquoise (1 thread of each), and peacock.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-4.jpg\" alt=\"AT&#039;s baby wrap, bout 4\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-4.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/AT-bout-4-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By now the rain had come so I was back to taking indoor photos of HG&#8217;s finished wrap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished.jpg\" alt=\"HG&#039;s finished baby wrap\" width=\"450\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HG-finished-400x264.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whew!
