Lots of Sampler baskets competed

As always my to do lists are longer than possible but I did manage to get a lot done during my last short store closure and I have many items partially done.   I haven't made up all the baskets and taken pictures yet but there is a few more to come including some lap and bracelet looms so stay turned.  I am still working on the Reproduction looms and the one treadle but I have to do that in between orders so it will be a little while longer on those.
Here are a few of my favorite things :).





















And I also got all the tiny shuttles ready to ship :)  





I'll not be loading them with yarn but here is how cute they are if you do :)

Another 2 Treadle Loom before Christmas???

I started a new treadle loom a couple days ago. Super excited to have made the time.  We will see if I am able to get her done in time. 
I have the based glued up and it is now out of the clamps waiting on me to plane and sand it before I can get started making all the pockets in it.  Once the top is complete I can then make all the other parts.
I'm thinking of doing this one in Cherry and purpleheart if I have enough purpleheart to make all the parts.  If not I do have enough walnut or paduak so we will have to wait and see what woods I end up using.
So the process has begun, wish me luck.  I'd love to have one ready to make someone's Christmas extra special :)


Oh, and did I mention miniatures?  :)
