Empty Cereal Box


I spent most of yesterday indulging in childhood pleasures. As a girl a day dedicated to making was pure joy and yesterday was just such a day. The stimulus for the task came from spinning and weaving group on Thursday With some show and tell of small coin purses woven on a cardboard loom.

One empty cereal box and a whole day of indulgence .



The pocket section of the purse is completed. It is a slow process.  Threading the wool over and under again and again was a time of contemplation.

A great way to spend a birthday.  I was very content engaging in a childhood skill and remembering .


Today



I am going to weave the flap of the bag. The weaving should go faster . Only half as many warp threads. My plan is to add a couple colored stripes to the flap for interest.

Hooray for an empty box. What have you used a box for?

Happy Valentines Day

Terry

Hold on, Was it your birthday yesterday?! A very Happy Birthday to you Terry!!! I loved that you spent the day weaving, using a cardbord box. I would never have thought of that. I haven't used a cardboard box for anything in a long timem maybe I should try some weaving. Happy Birthday again.

A Belated Happy Birthday to you Terry! I think the last time I used a box was for the inside of a scissor holder!

A belated very happy birthday Terry. I Like the idea of weaving, but that endless over/under! Oh no. I admire your patience to keep doing it. I use cardboard boxes in the garden...to line raised garden beds and laid between beds to keep the weeds down. Look forward to seeing your little purse finished.
