I have to share with you all the coolest Christmas gift I got this year.  My
childhood friend, Becky Burkett, sent me a four harness, 20 inch Schacht
table loom.  She bought it at a garage sale years ago and after playing with
it for a few years, decided to clean out her closet.  My benefactoress also
sent me several lovely books, including "The Key to Weaving" by Mary Black
and "The Shuttle-Craft Book of American Hand-Weaving" by Mary Meigs Atwater.

I called and told her that she was a stinker for giving me yet another
"project".  Argghhh....

Perhaps some kind (or warped) individual can donate a day to instruct me in
the art of warping and weaving on a loom like this.  I also got about 20
pegs for a warping board, but she couldn't afford to ship the board as well.

Don't worry, I thanked Becky a whole lot.  She was the one who taught me how
to sew, how to crochet, and how to argue effectively:)  Believe it or not,
we met in the first grade and became best friends in the fourth grade.  She
and I were each other's maids of honors in our weddings. (So, parents, don't
discount the friendships of your children!!).  We are planning on watching
our grandchildren grow up together, sit around in rocking chairs, and
complain about old age....someday.

Happy Holidays!!
