Penelope and her loom

I'm two classes in to a Park & Rec weaving class.  We have yet to begin weaving.  It is unbelievable how long it takes to string up a loom (there's a word for that process). 

As someone who has read Ulysses more times than a sane person should have to, I have new understanding of how Penelope could tell her suitors she will marry them just as soon as her weaving project is finished.  She had probably only just gotten the damn thing strung up by the time her hubby returned from his quest.

I like meditative, meticulous things sometimes, but the thought crosses my mind, "There's a reason we invented machines to do this."  Hopefully once I start weaving I will have some moment of enlightenment about . . . fabric, or something.  It it's a wonder anyone was clothed prior to the industrial revolution. 

My app verus Siri

Some random thoughts:

I have a knack for locating things my husband is looking for.  We've been calling this my Uterus GPS, but last night, holding his beloved iPhone, he said, "No!  It's like your app!  That's your app!"  I'm having trouble competing with this new "Siri" character, the personal assistant who lives in his phone.  He actually says "please" to her when making requests.  It's hilarious.  I've been reminding him of the many things I do that Siri could never ever do for him.  Heh.

I researched Hungarian Matyo embroidery today.  I think I should start a project.  By the way, I am half Hungarian, and I'm a little obsessed with embroidery.  I'll try uploading a Matyo pic.  I'm still learning etiquette on posting pics from other sites, so here is the full link where I got the pic from: http://thatbohemiangirl.tumblr.com/post/9607697644/my-bohemian-aesthetic-hungarian-matyo-embroidery.

I'd love some advice from other bloggers - where do you get your images from, and how do you provide the source for them when they are taken from elsewhere on the web?
