As time passes I’m getting more and more into cooking and canning and baking. And some of my most recent cooking experiments have…

7 days ago by craftsanity I’m going to be at my daughter’s swim meet for several hours today and will be weaving a pile of samples for some modular projects that I’ve been wanting to make for years. I’m using a new set of CraftSanity Looms with tighter peg spacing that allow for single strand weaving with bulky yarn. These looms will be released as soon as I get samples made and instructions written so stay tuned. In the meantime, I’m happy to report that these looms are really fun to weave on. : ) #craftsanitylooms #looms #loom #pegloom #weaving #weavingloom #weave #weaver #fiberart #bulkyyarn

When I’m a timer at home meets, I can’t do this. : ) #pegloom #weaving #pooltime #weavingloom #weave #weaver #fiberart #bulkyyarn #swim #swimmom #modularweaving #fiberart #craftsanitypotholderloom #weaversofinstagram #poolsideweaving #craftsanitylooms

The bugs got a few, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for pesticide-free fruit. #apples #appletree #apple #homegrown #puremichigan #lovemyappletree #bittersweet #suburbanfarm #farmdreams #growyourownfood
3 days ago by craftsanity As I pack up this CraftSanity embroidery kit, I’m thinking about my next design. I’m planning a workshop with college students for next month and I want to print something new to stitch. Hmm...

11 hours ago by craftsanity I took a break and “visited” Downton Abbey this afternoon and it was most delightful. I suspect the film will be thoroughly enjoyed by loyal fans as I have no harsh criticism to share. The lighting and cinematography provide a visual feast while the beloved characters have reassembled to do their thing. I could listen to those great accents and Violet Crawley’s most amusing and biting wit all day. I hope they make another film as they leave the door open for that possibility. : ) : courtesy photo #downtonabbey #lovedit #downtonabbeythemovie #instamoviereview #movies #moviestowatch #ladymary #goodmovies #violetcrawley
