the "scraps" Saori weaving is off the loom
For a year I have had a loom dedicated in the studio for using up almost empty bobbins, scrap yarn that has fallen on the floor, ends I trimmed off fringes etc.

So here is a sneak peek of a sleeved stole for open studios studio tour one month away. I am using my plie' weave that I thought up, and my husband Lee named because of the shapes that look like the bent knees of the ballet position.

sewing saori fabric for the county fair, and apple juice
Our gravenstien apples have been in multiple baskets on the studio floor for over a week , so this week end I prepped the kitchen to make raw apple juice. In the past years I have dried apples, made apple sauce but this year I just wanted juice. OMG it tastes so good. thanks to you lee for helping with the clean up
the fastest I could process was 2 quarts a hour, not including set up and clean up. That was a huge help.
my favorite very old carbon steel knife helped a lot.
and our 37 year old Norwalk juicer, the first thing my husband and I bought together new when we were first dating, it is still going strong.
just some of the juice cooling before the deep freeze.
This week the is the dead line for turning in my weaving for the Santa Cruz county fair so I have been busy sewing my saori yardage.
making covered buttons for the bag
another piece of saori fabric cut out for another bag.

Lisa's Saori weaving progresses
lisa's weaving is progressing so nicely. she learned more today, like saori weft as warp as weft.
the weather was so nice we got to to weave out on the deck. I am loving her textures and colors!
here you can see on the left the "stair steps" it is a kind of inlay technique.
