I am writing this reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally fast, as we are in the middle of a crazy thunderstorm and a thunderclap just made me jump an inch or two out of my chair! Yikes!
Anyhow…. in spite of the crazy storm, and fingers crossed that it doesn’t turn into a tornado (oh please oh please) (the clouds are VERY wild and ominous looking- eep) um… where was I ? Oh yes, jumping out of my chair….

Well….. actually, I am ALSO jumping up and down with delight,
because I have been working for months and months on a new self published book:
Virtuoso Vests to Weave on the Potholder Loom
(well, actually, it’s been years in the making,
as I have been weaving vests on the potholder loom for yonks,
and have been meaning to ~finally~ get around to
building proper patterns, graphs, charts,
schematics, instructions, photos etc)
and I have FINALLY finally gotten it all done!
Wheee!
I am oh so pleased!
The Virtuoso Vests are totally versatile… they are all meant to be made as an expression of the creativity of the person who makes them, so I have included lots of ideas for embellishment……
everything from fairies and mermaids to teddybears.
The storm is getting worse and I am running on battery power, so I think I had better sign off for now!

I think I am going to batten the hatches here and keep an eye on the sky.
Hope your weather is better where you are!
Happy weaving and stay safe…..
