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.
