weaving on a simple loom

On Sunday I began experimenting with a few weaving projects and I am having so much fun!  I love the idea of using simple tools and techniques an adding interest with beautiful fibers and a bit of embroidery.  I have a few pieces already finished and waiting to be photographed for the shop!

Have you ever made a cardboard loom?  They are the easiest thing in the world and the results (with a little practice) are surprisingly good!  While I was making the small weaving above I kept saying, "This is just like a real rug!"  : )  Here is a great tutorial if you'd like to try it for yourself.
