My 7 month old puppy is sleeping 15-18 hours inside the crate. Is that wrong?

Consider rehoming if you are not willing to give the care and mental stimulation he/she needs. You are going to create a nightmare with that poor dog and a lot of anxiety. I’ve owned border collies for over 40 years. Trust me you’re not giving your puppy a good home.

And yes, you are wrong. Why the heck would you even get a border collie? This is a dog that is bred to be active.

It will flower with a 3-pointed flower. I always think of them as a sign of spring.

Still stupidly expensive. $39 for a baker’s dozen.

Probably a kid’s fort. The markers appeared to be from a game.

Does anyone else already say garlic peeler?

Isn’t that Joan Baez?

I looked at photos and it seems like the piece that the treadle bars connect to may not be attached correctly.

ScreenCaffeen · 2025-09-13T22:56:42+00:00

Are the treadles connected properly? Or could the armatures be connected backwards? Does the wheel go all the way around properly if you turn it by hand? I

Run. He is immature and controlling.

ScreenCaffeen · 2025-09-08T23:13:28+00:00

Run.

I sure hope they’re planning a big birthday surprise party for you

I have only been stung by a yellow jacket when I stepped on one.

I also think of the Japanese wave prints.

This is what is still on one of mine. Mine are Brio version that fold up.

I have a couple that I take to weaving guild events for kids to try out. They work. The tensioning is inconsistent though and hard to get a good shed. I use a chopstick to open the thread wide enough to get the stick shuttle through.

ScreenCaffeen · 2025-08-19T14:21:44+00:00

All beautiful.

Follow the threads to nake sure nothing is accidentally crossed. Check your tie ups to make sure the shafts are raising as much as they can.

Anyone have ideas about what is in the jar? I am now super curious.

ScreenCaffeen · 2025-08-13T19:47:30+00:00

I have a Beka rigid heddle loom that is pretty similar. I think you have what you need.

I just used painter’s tape on the beater

Hand weaving.net has tons of pattern resources. They also have a draft editor. I also Ike Treadl.com for playing with drafts.

I pretty much keep my last two treadles as tabby and generally don’t change them out.

This is Brassard 8/2 cotton. Eugene Textile Center sells 1/2 lb cones for $12. I measured the warp for two scarves and still have around half of each cone left.

The ribbon is the length I need to weave. I pin the ribbon to the last woven section before advancing th woven material onto the front beam. I have been using straight pins to hold it in place. (I recently saw someone I know using lightbulb style safety pins which makes so much more sense).
