This is our first Terra Loom made from peeled cedar posts and some twine. Kyla wove in some twigs for the birds to stand on and some popcorn, apples and berries for them to eat. Add some grass and ribbon for color. When it is a little bare, weave anything you like into it. Remove the tapestry to hang on a wall or porch and make another one. We will be making more looms of birch, unpeeled cedar and beaver chewed wood. A smaller table top version called a Dream Loom, is underway. These will be ready in time for the summer.

Socko, the first of many sock monkeys that we will add to our crochet inventory as we prepare for the summer craft fairs in and around the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. He was a joy to make and Jessica my daughter named him Fred . As Socko, he will be joined by the next one, Jocko, that will look like a rag sock. 
Is it just me, or do you all agree this winter has gone by fast? I can hardly believe it's already time to start this year's garden seeds. Rather than using my old plastic pots again, I decided to try this approach of recycling old newspapers and making them into pots for my tomato and pepper seedlings. It's easy to do with this nifty little wooden apparatus. I'm curious to see how well they hold up until it's time to transplant into larger containers.
