My Corner Of The World - August 2013

Because of the popularity of this thread, we'll start a new thread each month!

The idea is to tell us what is going on in your corner of the world.It does not
have to be weaving related, but it could be.

Feel free to tell us about holidays in your country,whether it is religious,
or Independence day, or commemoration days.

Please include a picture when you add your post. Weavers are very visual people.

Please remember to downsize your photo before uploading.

Be sure to tell us where you are (city, state/province, country?)
This forum has members internationally.

Have a good day!

Welcome to August!
Did you know the month of August was given 31 days to honor Augustus Caesar? And July was given 31 days to honor Julius Caesar.

The days were taken from the month of February which is why there is only 28 days.

Sorry for the late start.

Time for a new edition of My Corner of The World!

Have a good day!

And my guildmate entered some spectacular handwoven jackets. The technique is called Woven Shiborri, (as taught by Diane Totten), and my guildmate made up the sewing pattern/construction.

Congratulations to Margriet Carrico on her blue ribbons!

Heading to Stitches Midwest. I'll be working at the Habu booth. Stop by and say hi. In the meantime we are having 100-103 temps here. Need to pack for highs of 75 up north. Gawk! Brain freeze! http://www.knittinguniverse.com/M_marketfloor

Somehow this big mantis found its way into the office and onto a potted plant. I wanted to get a picture and a measurement. In the bottom picture it looks like it wants to have a word with me. I walked it outside and left it in the bushes. Franco Rios, West Sacramento, Calif.
