What did you make today?

I. Am. Impressed.
Also impressed by the woodcraft and lore so many Dwellars have up their sleeves. Just ran across this thread. Also love the juxtaposition of the archery and wood topics with the baking and handcrafting posts. Maybe I'll try to get some pics of my loom and spinning wheel to post. Sort of on hiatus right now, though.

I love the posts about identifying and working with wood. My father taught me a little but I haven't had the opportunity to do anything myself - mostly buy him fine woodworking books and enjoy what he makes.

It's not impressive, not a floor loom - that's for my fantasy future house, in front of the window. That energy-efficient small maybe log house with a woodstove that I have in my mind's eye. Anyway - for now my favorite thing is weaving blankets, and on my current loom they're lap blankets/sofa throws. I'd like to get into bigger stuff. Placemats etc. bore me to tears.

So, it may not Be. Impressive. But I'll try, after this week or two go by.

I share a similar dream of living off grid in a beautiful mountain valley. It would be a small ranch, self-sustainable. Oh to be able to sit on the porch and smoke a fine cigar while I feed the deer and elk
