BUSY-BUSY-BUSY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry ALISON !!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer is so busy w/ fishing, grt/grd-kids, garden, yard, etc. that weaving things git-the-leftovers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We brought home some carob & eucalyptus wood from CA after visit to Bro's and also enjoyed ' weav'n-time ' @ Museum Weavers (www,agsem.com/museum) where they have over 50 looms in their " over 4000 sq.ft. new-building ". It was part of the 'wind-fall' left from a storm, now drying-out hopefully ending up as new shuttles, as only had room in car-trunk for 2 @ 20" chunks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'll try to get some pics on here.
