Chan Luu Scarves
My favorite accessory is the scarf. I love the multitude of colors, fibers and textures. Whether it is a handmade wool scarf in the winter, a cool cotton scarf in the spring, a breezy linen one in the summer or a silk shawl in the fall, scarves are versatile accessories. A scarf can make an outfit boho, casual, chic or elegant.
I wish I could afford a Chan Luu scarf. Made of silk and cashmere, Chan Luu scarves are feminine and luxurious. The scarves are stories based on nature and world cultures. I would love to have one in my wardrobe.

Unfinished Weave
We all have half-finished projects laying around. Works in progress, as the craft community calls them, can speak to where we are in our lives. Some projects are never finished; they are too complicated, so they packed away and forgotten. Others are waiting for the right moment, the right detail, to be finished.
You may remember I found the loom at Eaton Community Hospice Thrift Shop. I bought a large bag of loops at Hobby Lobby. I wanted a small project to work on in between larger ones.
This woven project has been on my loom for over a month, but every spare moment has been devoted to our wedding. I am not sure if it will become a coaster or potholder or trivet, but I know that this project is waiting for the right moment to be finished.

Fiber Nest Filler
As a crafter working with various fibers, I've accumulated unusable bits of ribbon, string and yarn that I cannot bear to throw away.
I put my fiber scraps and laundry lint in plastic fruit netting, and behold! nesting material for our neighborhood birds! Next time I might use a suet feeder.
Now I don't feel guilty for holding on to useless fibres and the spring birds will have warm nests for their chicks.
