The calendar said April but it was still winter outside.<\/p>\n

\"winter<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside the studio, it was all spring. The colors of these wraps are so positive and cheerful.<\/p>\n

LV received her wrap on Wednesday, and immediately did a tandem wrap with her daughter and a friend!<\/p>\n

On another front entirely, I completed my second weaving sample for the COE. This one required five different patterns of light and dark threads, with each pattern woven square. <\/p>\n

\"COE<\/a><\/p>\n

All I can say is trust me, weaving patterns square is SO not my strength. I had to weave the first sample, five twill patterns, 3 times to get it right. The second sample required 2.5 weavings. Maybe next time I’ll get down to only twice? For these required samples my goal is to use up stash and meet the requirements; pretty is not an issue. The first sample (below) is mercerized 5\/2 cotton, the second (above) is Bambu 7. <\/p>\n

Next update is Jack. I guess that we took too much advantage of the spring days that we did have. Last night the poor little guy was limping badly. I’d been giving him a baby aspirin every morning for a few weeks since I saw him limp a little. It clearly wasn’t enough, and I clearly wasn’t reducing his walks enough. So this morning I gave him a dose of his prescription pain relievers, and called the vet for a refill. I’m also making each of his 3 daily walks short – just once around the block. I can make my solo morning walk longer to make up for Jack’s shorter morning walk, but haven’t exactly figured out what I’ll do on the mid-day walk when I’m also missing length. (Our nighttime walk has always been short.) I’m taking Reiki training on Saturday. My primary goal is to help Jack; I’m crossing my fingers on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
