Standing at the bedroom window.
Listening to the frogs and the distant rumble of thunder. Beautiful summer night.

Inkle
Chris spent some time in the shop this week making an inkle loom for me. I’ve wanted to play with one since reading Sara Lamb’s tutorial, years ago.
It was a gorgeous day to spend some time in the shade figuring out how to warp and weave on my newest toy (tool).

Wow! That’s awesome! It’s something I’ve been thinking of doing for years too. 🙂

What fun!

Fun! I had one years ago, but lost it somewhere along the way. (I’ve moved umpty-skillion times. I lost a lot of stuff over the years…)
Inkle weaving and card weaving were both a lot of fun – very peaceful and meditative. -
Nice work, Chris!
Looks like you figured it all out just fine! -
Chris has earned the accolade, “Patron of the Arts”. Well done, the two of you!

YAY!!

He did a great job! Looks like you are doing well, too…can’t wait to see your band all finished!

Awesome! to the both of you!

Ten on Tuesday
Summer Reading..
hmmmmm.. I don't usually do the Ten on Tuesday lists. I enjoy reading them, just never signed on. However, today I find myself on the slowest dial up connection probably left in this country (at least the third world has wireless), plus I really like the topic. ahh.. Summer Reading. The first four on my summer list are finished. I enjoyed them and wish that I could start fresh and do it again. The next group are on order from the library. It is convenient to go online, even with the dial up from hell and order the books I want to read. Generally these aren't the kind of books I need to keep on my shelf after I've enjoyed them. Easy come, easy go.
1. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Steig Larrson
2. The Girl Who Played With Fire, Stieg Larsson
3. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Stieg Larsson
4. Mistress of the Art of Death, Ariana Franklin
5. City of Shadows, Ariana Franklin
6. The Serpent's Tale, Ariana Franklin
(there are more in this series.. I'll see if I want to go on from there.)
7. Tales of the City, Armistead Maupin
8. The Night Listener, Armistead Maupin
9. In Search of Fatima, Ghada Karmi
10. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Seth Graham-Smith
Not a heavy one in the bunch. This is summer entertainment, easy to pick up, and hopefully, not so easy to put down. I tend to read all the books in a series when I can. Then on to the next. Both Franklin and Maupin have at least five books in the series. I'll give them the first two to see if I'm interested. What are you reading??

Sometimes I will read a series straight through and sometimes I like to break it up a bit with other books. Great list – thanks for participating!
-
Nice to see a post from you!
…and your summer reading list sounds like just the ticket for warm afternoons or evenings in a hammock.
Just put in my order for “Keep me Warm One Night”…not exactly summer reading, but a book I’ve been wanting to get to… -
Interesting list. I am going to check out FRanklin.
I read Grand Obsession by Perri Knize, have Tinkers. Just read an old Alistair MacLean bit of fluff. -
Summer reading lists – what a great idea. However, so you aren’t surprised when you sit down to read it, The Night Listener isn’t part of the Tales of the City series. I believe More Tales of the City is the second book. Gosh maybe it’s time to re-read those, what a perfect summer confection.
Speaking of series I just finished the first book of a trilogy and it turns out my library has books one and three but not two, grr. -
Thanks. You are right about the order.
-
I haven’t read any on your list – I’ll have to investigate.
I’ve been making a good long list for my next library expedition. You’ve given me a couple of new names to add to it!

Great time of day isn’t it? Love your shot through the screen!
Wonderful. Thunder brings rain and fear of electrical outage. Like the first, not so much the second. We are hearing the cicadas really really early this year in the early evenings.
Not surprising with the hogh temps.
Lovely! I’m hoping for evening rains but looks like it’s just virga tonight.
It finally got hot enough here for cicadas – the 2nd day.
And night brings blessed relief from the heat of the day…
