| The Oregon Weaver Unique Handwoven Designs from the Pacific Northwest |
| Karen Gelbard, Handweaver Pacific City, Oregon |
| Sometimes it's hard to get work done in the studio when the "personal assistant" gets involved. Not that it matters as The Oregon Weaver has three looms and an improved cutting and sewing area. Abby, the newly arrived studio cat, finds all kinds of comfortable places to rest. Problems occur when she wants to get more involved with the rearrangement of yarns that hang from the looms or warping board. Abby is a recent arrival and everyone is still making adjustments. But, she is definitely worth the effort. |
| The Oregon Weaver's work can be seen at the following quality galleries: |

| We haven't seen a Western Tanager here before. Our current visitor won't cooperate with the camera guy but this beautiful bird looks just like this picture. He's very active and insists on attacking one of the bedroom windows. Other birds seen near the house include the American Robin, Red Tailed Hawk (complete with prey in talons), Turkey Vulture, and some unidentified finches. There were some raccoon cubs on the road the other day and, a young black bear came by to check out our garbage a few weeks ago. |

| Autumn is one of the nicest times of the year with its warm days and cool nights. Or is it still summer? Hard to tell as we've had a lot of cloudy weather and even a nice shower recently. But we are optimistic that we'll have some very warm days and good outdoor painting weather. Meanwhile, the big Chinook salmon are coming into Nestucca Bay and the pelicans are here, too. School is about to open. So, procrastination must end regarding the splitting and stacking of the piled wood. There's some logging going on next to us but we doubt that they'll come over to help with our firewood chores. |
