I visit my local thrift stores at least twice a week. Lately, I hadn't found anything that has 'caught' me! So, this week I would like to share an 'Oldie, but Goodie' Junk Love find...
...this weaving loom!
I finished weaving the project that was 'attached' when I purchased the loom. I've been checking out a weaving project thumbing through my Threads magazine. It is featured in March 2010 issue in 'Embellishments' by Shirley Adams; the article is called Abstract Weaving. It's actually for pin weaving to create intricate fabric.
All accessories included! Reminds me of my camping days of my childhood. All of the wonderful crafts we created!
Hopefully, this week there will be something that 'catches' me! Oh, I am purchasing a vintage sewing machine this evening that I found on Craigslist.
And, a short update on the sewing machine that was given to me while visiting a friend the day after her cleaning. The parts to convert this machine to a hand crank have been ordered and I am now awaiting for their arrival (possibly, next week).
Until next time...Peace and Junk Love!
