Meet my family of inkle looms! Ashford Inklette- The cutest of inkle looms. I like this one because it is small enough to fit easily on my lap and can be held between my knees. I can even weave while riding in a car. Because of it's petite size, there is not a lot of clearance and it feels awkward for my hands to work within such a small space and narrow shed opening. Also, I am used to using a lot of tension and am always careful not to use too much tension on this one because it is more petite. But I find it nice for weaving really narrow things like the silk ribbon and stampede straps that I have been making. I have a small child's suitcase on wheels which just fits this and makes it a dream for traveling. Schacht- I have 3 of these. This loom is perfectly configured for ease of weaving, in my opinion. I much prefer the slide type tensioner of this loom to the paddle type of the Inklette. I also prefer the tensioner to be in front as this allows for the easiest of adjustments. The spacing of the uprights suits me; it has just the right length between me and the heddles for weaving. (Too long and my back gets tired of reaching, too short and I have to advance the warp too often.) Northwest- Beautifully crafted of walnut. This one is constructed much like the Schacht, with a couple of differences. It has a second side to the frame, which is removable. This makes it so convenient for taking to shows and demonstrations. The second side keeps warps from slipping off the ends of the pegs while I am toting it around. It also allows me to work wider without constantly herding the warps away from the edge and it provides that extra support and stability for those who use a lot of tension, like me. The front upright angles forward a little more than the Schacht, which creates a shorter weaving distance and it is necessary to advance the warp more often. Homemade- (Shown here with the Schacht for size comparison.) You could weave all week on this baby. I once made a sash 14' long on it, and I don't think that I used it's full capacity. If you are going for yardage, this would be the best choice. It stands on the floor and I find that I am most comfortable tipping it forward onto my lap to work. When I get a really long warp on it, the process of advancing the warp is a challenge. Makes me wish I had more arms. My brilliant husband pointed out that it would have been nice to have something for scale in each photo. I wish I would have thought of that. Other looms have come and gone from my life. This is the current collection and as you can see, each serves a purpose. There are a couple more that I have a hankering to own, though. There are so many varieties of inkle looms available; a recent brief search of the web turned up many small manufacturers. It would be fun to test them all! The beauty of the inkle loom above all others, I think is the ease of setup. A continuous warp wound directly onto the loom eliminates the step of preparing the warp. (If an inkle loom has two sides, one of them needs to be removable to accomplish this.) I have tried a little tapestry weaving. I also own a perfectly beautiful Kromski Harp rigid heddle loom. But the truth is, I love inkle weaving and will always come back to it.

I stumbled across these fabric bookmarks that looked cool and super simple to make: source But I didn't feel like dragging out my sewing machine and ironing board. So, I made one out of paper! I cut a 3"x3" square and then cut another 3"x3" square into a little bit more than half. Because I'm using adhesive and not stitching it, I knew that I would need a bigger corner area, which you can see on the piece on the right side. And then I decorated the papers and simply glued them together on the top and left side. This...

Adopt your very own! Dice Monsters are fuzzy dice-eating companions. Each adorable little monster has an appetite for about 50 dice at a time. Too much feeding makes their tummy hurt, so be sure not to feed past ‘snug’. Each Dice Monster is lovingly raised by hand at the Dice Monster Farm, where our expert caregiver ensures the qualities most desired by prospective parents shine through in the matured (well, physically, at least) Monster before allowing an adoption to take place. Just like people, each Dice Monster is unique. No two grow up to look exactly the same. Pictured above are Botch (White with Black Eyes) and Crit (Black with Red Eyes). Botch is the first of his kind! He’s the oldest of the litter and thinks he’s smarter than the rest; he likes D10s (the pink ones in particular), but isn’t picky about what he eats. Crit, Botch’s brother, is an elite gamer. Crit likes D6s and gaming late at night, though he stays away from Cheetos and Mountain Dew (they go right to his fur). His favorite game is Vampire, but he also likes some miniatures games as well. He wears a ring for each of his characters that has met its Final Death, so he never forgets them. All of the ones pictured have been adopted already, but you can get one too! Just tell me what you want, and I will go on down to the Dice Monster Farm and see who’s been born recently. ^^ Details that I will need to begin the adoption process: Body Color Eye Color ‘Mouth’ Color (Zipper Color) Ear Type and Tail Type (The last part, depending on complexity, may have an additional cost. Please send me a message so we can discuss your perfect Dice Monster!) Some of them may come with piercings, or maybe even other surprises. No parent can perfectly predict how a child will develop, after all! Luckily for you, though, these additions will come at no additional cost over the standard adoption fee. I can’t control how they might choose to express themselves, and you shouldn’t suffer for that! After you send me your adoption paperwork and the ‘processing fee’ (listed at the top of the page), expect a week delay as I comb through the Monsters to find the perfect one for you. Once I get your new Monster all ready, I will carefully bundle him up for the journey to your house. I only send these guys to addresses in the United States for now, as I am a new farmer and don’t want to upset them by sending them too far away from home until they have a chance to acclimate to the idea. Please allow up to 7-10 days for your Dice Monster to get to your door after I send you the adoption photo. Disclaimer: Dice monsters should not get wet, as they will be very upset by this. They also don’t like snacking on anything except dice, so please don’t feed them anything besides their prefered diet. If you are Local to me and we are friends, send me a message on Facebook and we can finalize your adoption in person to save on travel costs. If you have any other ideas for nifty Monsters or other projects you’d love to see, feel free to browse the rest of my shop. And if you don’t see the perfect solution for you, message me! I always love discussing new ideas and coming up with new projects. This listing is only for the dice monster. No dice will be included.

Photo © 2009 Steven Depolo | more info (via: Wylio) Preschool is the perfect time to help your kiddos "fine tune" their fine motor skills. While there are a plethora of activities to consider, lacing and weaving exercises are great because they strengthen hand muscles, promote focus, test hand-eye coordination, and reinforce problem solving skills - all hallmarks of fine motor mastery! Here are some essentials for your fine motor activity station... Lacing Cards Lacing cards are actually quite simple to make and can be fully customized to fit any theme, unit, or lesson! My Montessori Journey creator uses recycled greeting cards to create unique lacing experiences for her kiddos! No scissors necessary, all you need is a paper punch and plenty of yarn! While greeting cards are usually made from sturdier paper, you might consider laminating them just in case! Photo Source: My Montessori Journey Shannon, over at Shannon's Tot School, recommends creating lacing cards from colorful craft foam sheets. The soft, "squishy" foam will provide a unique sensory experience for your preschoolers and stand up to the wear and tear of extended use. Photo Source: Shannon's Tot School Greeting cards from Arrowood Zoo. WonderFoam®. How about regular card stock? Print, copy, or trace the appropriate image onto the paper, cut it out, laminate it, and you're set! For more versatility and fun, create black and white cards, allowing students to color the pictures before laminating them! Photo Source: The Arrowood Zoo If you're not up for making your own lacing cards, Melissa & Doug and MPM School Supplies (among other educational toy suppliers) provide handy lacing card kits that make a great addition to any preschool classroom! Photo Source: MPM School Supplies Where To Find Lacing Card Images & Inspiration Online. Find free templates at Activity Village, Shannon's Tot School, and other preschool activity sites. Look for printable coloring pages and clip art that can be adapted/printed onto card stock and made into lacing cards. Or just browse for inspiration in making your own. Childcare Land offers some great cards to purchase or use to get the creative juices flowing! Word processing software. Most come with a gallery of clip art that can be printed onto card stock and adapted for lacing cards. Magazines. If you find fun pictures/objects that are big enough, cut them out, glue them to a piece of card stock, and laminate! Coloring books. Copy the desired page onto card stock, cut out, and laminate! Or, if you need just one, laminate the original coloring book page. Cereal box panels. No need to laminate, just cut apart, punch some holes, and get to lacing! Recycled storybook pages.
