Final result after pressing ... I laid the fabric over a bed, but now this throw resides in our family room, draped over a chair and used for lightweight coziness on cool days. It drapes beautifully and provides a lovely lightweight cover for transitional weather - we have a woodburning insert/stove in the family room, so this throw is nice as the fire is either starting or dying. Not too heavy.

I have a gorgeous blanket planned - hope to get the loom warped this weekend, so will update soon. Shades of blue from deepest midnight to sky, with variegated blues/teals/raspberry to provide interest.

Very nice! I like it a lot.

Awesome. So impressed.

I failed to take any pictures, but I replaced the faucets in the lav and the kitchen sinks, which burst due to unusual cold here. I found out the last time I came by and turned on the water, flooding the floors.

Now I have nice, new metal fixtures which are less likely to break than the old, cheap, Chinese ones. Next time I come by, I plan to replumb the shower, installing a nicer showerhead and faucet. And possibly the drain, which I suspect of leaking when I am not looking. That'll teach me to winterize before I leave.

You're lucky the water was turned off when it let go. Even if you'd been home asleep, you might have woken up hanging ten on your way out the door.

Ortho: very nice!

Lola Bunny · 03-16-2015, 06:22 PM

Pam: good excuse to update all your fixtures. :-)

Pamela · 03-18-2015, 10:45 PM

Yup! More proof that I am really a girl on the inside.
