@tamarillow Shiny kitchen!

[Sonya @StringHerder]

12 hours of setup, half an hour of weaving (so far). This is a long warp though, so the weaving time should overtake the prep eventually.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

A forest of String! Just over an hour to completely retie this, which is less than I expected. (80 cords to thread and tie)

[Sonya @StringHerder]

My exercise for today. 10m of warp now on loom. I have a tendency to forget how physical (some aspects of) weaving can be.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

In the last two days I have succeeded in getting kid input in culling toys and books!
(Shared use only, haven't started on their personal belongings yet)

[Sonya @StringHerder]

It has escaped the loom! Approximately 1.5m, 28 rows of towers. I am *very* happy to be done.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

Met this little guy today, I haven't seen a kingfisher for ages!

(Also walked 25.7km, but the kingfisher was definitely one of the highlights)

[Sonya @StringHerder]

Queen's Birthday was always my target for final short mow on the daffodil lawn. I guess maybe King's Birthday is not similar enough?

[Sonya @StringHerder]

It's still May. This is Not Okay.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

There was tramping (Banks Peninsula) and now there is a grumpy knee. I guess that's my annual reminder to work on stabilising the joint again.

@hazelwrit (It's his wrist, so kinda hard to be sure about anything that's not pretty major)

The day before Easter: Perfect timing for 6yo to fall off the playground at school.
(Dr is insanely busy, nurse has managed to squeeze a quick checkup in thankfully)

[Sonya @StringHerder]

@hazelwrit Verdict from nurse is that it's probably fine (my assumption anyway), and if not the next step is going into town for x-rays - which we can do over the weekend if it turns out to be necessary.

Still, today is bean bag, ice pack, and movie day.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

Sampling! (For scale, the cloth is around 6.5cm wide)

[Sonya @StringHerder]

@Kay_Emae Congratulations!

[Sonya @StringHerder]

@hazelwrit I heard about it via an email from my parents saying they were fine...

[Sonya @StringHerder]

I have made a Cloth! I am unsure what it is destined to be (original plan was it to all be green, but I ran out of mystery yarn), but I am happy with it. 5.5m, approximately 55cm wide, pure wool.

[Sonya @StringHerder]

@hazelwrit I hope it's wrong, since I'm pretty sure that has died a valiant death and is now haunting the tracking system. Did I tell you, it has supposedly left Auckland for a third time?

[Sonya @StringHerder]

@hazelwrit maybe they are adventuring with my embroidery parcel

[Sonya @StringHerder]

I did not nap today, and summoned the mental capacity to figure out some DnD stuff for 9yo this afternoon. I think this round of covid might be done, hooray!
