1. Discover a dedicated gathering place for handweavers. Weavolution allows you to focus on your weaving. We are ALL weaving ALL the time. Nothing else.

2. Post your projects, looms, drafts, and yarns--all in your notebook called My Stuff. (And edit your information any time).

3. Upload images at 800 x 800 pixels, allowing you to record, share and view minute details of color and stucture (Tips on Pics under the Help tab).

4. Find roomy comment fields allowing up to 2000 characters and pictures to document your creative warping, weaving and finishing processes.

5. Click on any project picture or draft entered in the last month and it will automatically enlarge (Try a second click for even greater detail!).

6. We know what features are most important to handweavers: looms, drafts, images and a wide variety of groups to join and forums to discuss their interests with other weavers.

7. Calculate the materials needed for your next project with our enhanced Resources section or find a guild to visit on your next trip!

My little girl can fly an ultralight!

Here is a video of my daughter flying an ultralight airplane. My dad has been teaching her to fly:

Something close to my heart...EtsyFAIL

Etsy Bitch has a new post that I really cannot wait to see fully fleshed out.


Since my Fuck You Etsy incident, I have often wondered why Etsy can still get away with all the crap they dump on their sellers. So perhaps this Fortune Small Business article can be a starting point, and Etsy will actually begin to be accountable for their actions.

I will post the link to the FBS article when it becomes available.

Frustrated and Confused

I just do not get it sometimes. See...my idiot husband has switched his dip preference to this new chew from Camel (snuns or something like that), he says that you...uh this is sickening...do not need to spit it out (it is spit less chewing tobacco). So knowing Dan, I am a little curious that perhaps he has got it wrong, I mean spit less dip? Anyway, I go online to Camel.com to check it out....

...and would you believe that you cannot even see anything on the site unless you actually sign up online and give them all sorts of information. Now, I am no prude but I bet you anything that I can go online and see tits and ass with absolutely no problem at all (no sign up needed)...Damn it to hell!

Now to see if I can find out about these little smokeless, spit less chewing tobacco or dip...they look like little tea bags in the shape of large elongated rodent turds....

Okay, I digress...

JOIN THE WEAVOLUTION
The new online gathering place for hand weavers
Weavolution.com, an online social network designed to meet the unique needs of
handweavers, launched its beta test on June 8, 2009. Designed to bring handweavers
together from around the world, Weavolution.com is a one-stop resource for every type
of handweaver.
From hobby to production, from peg to dobby, Weavolution provides a place for weavers
to meet, discuss and participate in moderated user groups and forums.
Members may post projects, looms, yarns, books, and accessories to share with others
and solicit feedback from other members.
But you donʼt have to be a member or even a weaver to explore the site and learn about
weaving free of charge.
Weavolution aims to become an inclusive, global community that encourages weavers
by enabling them to discover and follow trends in weaving; find local, national and
international resources; and find businesses catering to their needs. Weavolution
members can search the siteʼs databases to view items, group postings and research
information catalogued by others.
Weavolutionʼs goal is to provide a website for handweavers that is useful, fun and
helpful, and to be a resource for shops, products and ideas from around the corner and
around the world.
The project began in 2008 when three weavers from across the United States, Claudia
Segal, Tien Chiu, and Alison Giachetti, met online and formed Weavolution. Working
together with a host of dedicated volunteers, the team forged Weavolution.com into a
website with the potential to become a community.
Come, take a look. Weavolution.com is available for anyone to explore. You donʼt have
to sign up to see our site. But if you do, we hope youʼll decide to
JOIN THE WEAVOLUTION

Possibilities?

Well my husband has been going on and on about a food cart...so I thought it would give me something to do:



So I did this logo...I know it is not much but...it is keeping me busy. He is thinking Chicken Wings, Hot Dogs, and Pulled Pork Butt Sandwiches...I am thinking, Damn he is going off on the deep end!
