Just another Wednesday...

The 8 Yoyos done yesterday and today at the bus stop. It has blossomed to much more then just one a day I'd say.  I may just have enough for a full sized Yo yo quilt at the end of the school year.

This will help...

This is the basket of completed Yo yos.  It is a Longenburger Darning basket, for those of you that might know the size.  Probably 10-12 inches across and 6 inches tall...not sure how many it is holding but there are a lot!

And no I am not putting the ones I make at the bus stop (or soccer practice or waiting for Boy Scouts or whatever) in this basket, I have a different place for them so at the end of the year I can photo what they look like.

5 shots...well this actually shows 14 shots.  It is the weft in a weave structure....so the cross threads.  I would love to spend hours at my loom, however it is also used as a 2 year olds personal indoor jungle gym and an experiment of touch and move for 3 boys....so too often I have to spend a while fixing what they have changed or damaged before I can actually get to weaving.  But I love it, even though this piece has been on my loom for more then a decade now.  But 5 shots a day will get it done much faster then no shots a day.  I'll let you know on this progress too, and when it is done you will see it.

This is my loom.  It is a LeClerc, 60 inches of weaving space.  It works really well, someday there are some additions I would like to make, but not the computer operated part as I really want no part of that!!  It is like the big expensive sewing machines, no desire for one of those either.  One of mine only sews forward and back not eve a zig zag and I love it!!

And I needed to share the coloring of my 2 year old...ok full disclosure she is 2 1/2 but still!  Yes that is some super hero, no I do not know which one.  And yes she is using a regular colored pencil.
