We got a portable A/C unit which means we can continue to hold classes this summer! ❄️☃️🌨️ Please meet Dr. Dell, short for Weddell, named after the Antarctic seal species. They are cute & make noises that sound like dial up modems and spaceships. Please google them – you will not be disappointed. 🦭

Can you imagine weaving being so common / ubiquitous that you could buy looms & tools at ikea?! An actual page from the 1982 Swedish IKEA catalog. #ikea #ikeafinds #learntoweave #weaving
