Last day of the year, 123123!

Yesterday I suddenly felt like making a Tiny Tapestry, hauled out my lovely handmade and signed Hokel handheld loom, and here's what happened






Still on the loom in case I feel like making another little house on the same warp. 

The plants have been repatriated next door, except the bromeliad is staying here and I'm free cycling my spider plant.

Let's hope for a better year coming up.


Happy New Year everyone, thank you for taking part here this year, and we'll continue in the new year which is already here in the Southern hemisphere.

    I don't think too many of us will be waving a sad farewell to 2023, but it is good to be able to wave at all.

    Happy Hew Year Liz to Your & Yours!

    Cute little house.
    I saw a YouTube video where the crafter weaves rope around a cardboard box. I though of you seeing that.She hot blues rope pieces to the top edge, and then weaves in the rope around the sides.

      Weaving on YouTube is a whole adventure, all those ideas. I do like watching people make things.

    Wishing you a wonder-full 2024, Liz. Thanks for all your comments on Comptonia this year - much appreciated. And here's hoping for moderation in 2024. In weather, if in nothing else.

    Wishing you (and us all) a better 2024. Wouldn't it be great if, like that cat, we could have just 2023 off the shelf?

    I would take your spider plant if I were close! (Dave is glad I'm not close. :) )

    Happy New Year!

      I listed it this morning at 7.30am. Picked up at 9.30. Several possible takers, and it went to someone I knew would show promptly, so it was only outside a few minutes. She's happy.
      Happy New Year!

    That cute cat had my idea - - tossing 2023 off the shelf and forgetting about it.
    Have a blessed new year, filled with all positive things!

    I love that Snoopy quote, it's perfect for old folks like me. Happy New Year, hopefully it will be better, but then...elections and all that.

    After reading the '123123' I now can't get Lawrence Welk out of my head. Thanks for that!
    I think most of us are rather glad to knock '23 off our respective shelves, but somehow I wonder if '24 will be much better, particularly with the hooferfaw that's going to be swirling over your elections.
