I guess that\u2019s okay. I wanted to make some progress on a few projects today, but I also wanted to have some downtime. I think I need some extra rest. Feeling sluggish and chilly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took two bracelets off the loom. The top one is a sampler, just trying out different threads and some pick-and-pick. The middle one is a representation of a river, a freehand weave with variegated indigo thread from Buaisou. I haven\u2019t woven in the ends on the third one, the cherry blossoms. It\u2019s warped in the center of the loom with the threaded rod in back of it, making it hard to access the ends. There\u2019s still some work to do on these but I\u2019ve made a bit of progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6063.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6063.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6063-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Three woven bracelets, Saffron loom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not remember how I made these nine-patches for this sofa cover I\u2019m mending.  I must have had a template but it\u2019s gone now. Each side of the  whole patch measures 10 inches, so odd. This means each of the nine smaller squares measures 3 and a third inches? somewhere between 3-1\/4 and 3-3\/8 on a ruler. I couldn\u2019t cope with this measurement today, so I cut some squares using a 3-3\/8 inch template. Small progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6062.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6062.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6062-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Patches for mending<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought these flavorings at the local health food store.
