Couldn't wait; had to see how it would look. I like it!

Weaving

I wound a bobbin using my frugal bobbin winder, and now I get to start cutting up old jeans. 

And...

And, after almost two years, I successfully warped the Big Green Loom. :)

And I think a cat will sleep here tonight, don't you think?

Quite possibly my favorite picture this weekend:

Weaver

A couple of weeks ago, I had all-but-decided to put the Big Green Loom (like the Big Friendly Giant, only BGL) up for sale.

I still haven't turned on the air conditioner, however. 
I made blueberry sorbet this weekend, along with blueberry cake and a lentil salad for lunches most of the week. All delicious!

Ending

This morning on my way to work, the ending for A Glint of Silver appeared in my mind. Curiously enough, it coincides with some of the early events in Fire & Water, namely Cecilia's escape. 
This is why I write without an outline. :)
