Amaryllis Beladonna. The scent is so heavenly I HAVE to find a non-’water is our main ingrediant’ perfume recipe in the ASAP. Somebody help me! Hey does anyone know how to make an essential oil? I tried the crock-pot-on-low, but rose petals and oil Still burned. Thoughts? Advise? Comment!

I have the roughly 60in wide floor loom in my garage. We need to write Quebec and beg them for assembly instructions. I have been working toward this goal since I learned how to spin from a drop spindle at the “Danish Days” celebration in Solvang, CA.
Big difficulty: the magenta colour in Scottish kilts came from the dandelion roots found locally. Guess what: USA, Australia, New Zealand: dandelion roots give off a pale, or muted, yellow. And dandelion roots only dye while fresh. Already I foresee a substitution, if indeed, I pick a pattern with colouring such as that included. And I can plaid-weave on a table loom, although I’ll probably wish to retake that class, if only to better recall setting up a lengthy warp.

Even if the loom were not in pieces in the garage this would take awhile: under advisement, the loom is unlikely to make it to my studio until we change some of the flooring… rip out some carpet so the dogs stop… making me wish I had no carpet. Anywho. That’s my goal. Note the “a-yup.”

Cables are Much easier than they look! My local uber knitting workshop refuses to host a class because one learns in ten minutes and then the rest of your life is practice. Simpy, simpy, simpy; I promise! Don’t bother with a cable needle once you have it down; change over to a broken wooden double pointed. It need not Truely be broken. But small size helps, and I have puppies. =) Quite serendipidous.
