Know Your Worth

I have no idea where this story originated. Someone needs this today.

Before he died, a father said to his son; “Here is a watch that your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store downtown. Tell them that I want to sell it, and see how much they offer you.”

The son went to the jewelry story, came back to his father, and said; “They offered $150.00 because it’s so old.”

The father said; “Go to the pawn shop.”

The son went to the pawn shop, came back to his father, and said; “The pawn shop offered $10.00 because it looks so worn.”

The father asked his son to go to the museum and show them the watch.

He went to the museum, came back, and said to his father; “The curator offered $500,000.00 for this very rare piece to be included in their precious antique collections.”

The father said; “I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way. Don’t find yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you are not valued. Those that know your value are those who appreciate you, don’t stay in a place where nobody sees your value.”

Know your worth.

It’s not about you

One of the projects I’m involved with is, a podcast, Facebook Group and website that was the brainstorm of my friend M. Curtis McCoy. Curtis and I spent some time together a few weeks back talking about my weakest subject, myself.

Why Socialism Often Leads to Tyranny

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that communism leads to tyranny. Mention the countries North Korea, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Mao Tse Tung’s China, East Germany, and Venezuela, and most people immediately think of an oppressed population with almost no economic opportunity and no political freedom. The words communist dictatorship roll off the tongue like the two words have gone together forever. In fact, in an extreme irony, communism, ostensibly the most egalitarian form of government, in two cases led to the least egalitarian form of government: royalty or the rule of one family over time. The Kim family in North Korea and the Castros in Cuba have been ruling their countries like the kings and queens of old for some time.

Sometimes it is argued that the personalities involved lead to tyranny, not communism or socialism. Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Castro, Erich Honecker, and Pol Pot are all bad people, but the personalities at the top matter little. Once a communist form of government is established, tyranny is the only result, regardless of which government official Game of Thrones’d their way to the top. Let’s examine the causal links that make communism a living hell for the people who have to live with it.

The good news is you are entitled to housing, education, health care, and food. But that doesn’t mean people no longer have to work. The Soviet Constitution of 1936-Article 12 stated that “Labor in USSR is a duty and honorable obligation of each able citizen according to the principle: ‘Those who don’t work—don’t eat.’” A government that controls everything can quash dissent by changing the economic situation of anyone who is pointing out their defects.

If you persisted in demanding your right not to work, you wound up in the gulag, so thank God you live in a free enterprise, democratic society.

The real issue that needs to be addressed here is that a government that controls everything can quash dissent by changing the economic situation of anyone who is pointing out their defects or is involved with the opposition. In a communist society, all jobs, all levels of education, the national police, the medical system, the judicial system, the electoral system, the housing stock, the food distribution system, the military, the press, and all forms of transportation are controlled by the central government.

Write an insightful article about how a local government official is making a huge mistake (if you can find a computer to write it on), and you may find your apartment changed to the worst one available in a city where you don’t want to live. You could be reassigned from the job you trained years to get. For those of you who think the government using the medical system to advance its own interests is the fevered paranoia of a deranged libertarian, I would remind you that the Hong Kong protestors have developed a separate medical network rather than use public hospitals.

When most of us interface with the outside world, we expect the highest possible pay for the work we do, and when we buy things, we expect the highest quality at the lowest possible price. Economics adds up those personal tendencies over millions of people in large, complex societies and comes up with a few simple rules that describe economic behavior. Supply and demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost, the theory of money, and specialization and exchange are really just simple rules that take all people’s actions and abilities into account and arrive at a solution that balances the overall societal equation.

Communists and socialists don’t like these simple economic rules and come up with their own, such as “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” (your needs are generally unlimited), which conflicts with human nature. When you implement policies that conflict with human nature, you have to use force to implement them.

Stalin privately admitted that 10 million people died, either from starvation or resistance to the forced farm collectivization.

One example of arbitrary socialist economics is Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s drastic intervention in the electronics businesses of Venezuela in 2013. The government of Venezuela basically arrested the managers of one electronics store chain and forced the company to sell its products at lower prices. A few people got a cheap television on a one-time basis thanks to coercive government intervention, but you can bet that any ability to buy quality electronics at a good price in Venezuela is now gone.

A more serious example of communist economics is the Soviet farm collectivization of the 1930s. All the private, family-owned farms of the Soviet Union were converted to large collectivized farms. Stalin privately admitted to Churchill that 10 million people died, either from starvation or resistance to the forced farm collectivization. With a communist dictatorship, when a leader goes off the rails, there are no moderating forces that bring compromise or allow negotiation for alternative paths to lead a society toward its goals.

Every person who works in a communist society is paid by the government and knows they will be paid whether the organization they are working for provides goods or services to customers or not. This is very different than a society where most companies are private and employees know that if the company or the part of the company they work for doesn’t sell products that pay the companies expenses, they won’t be employed anymore. A communist society also has no private company competition to provide improved, cheaper, and higher quality goods and services.

A communist society’s productivity is a mere fraction of the productivity of an economy based on capitalism and free enterprise. The work ethic deteriorated so severely in the Soviet Union that a saying began circulating among the workers: “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.” For a society to operate at an economic level much lower than its potential for generations is a loss that can never be regained.

One great defender of liberty in the United States that never gets much credit is your local police department. They enforce the laws we all care about—murder, assault, robbery—but they report no higher than the local mayor or county supervisor and are paid for by local taxes.

Decentralized power is a power that defends liberty.

Communist societies are very top-heavy. They all have national-level police departments with ominous-sounding names that enforce the one true ideology over the entire country. In many communist countries, these national-level police forces turn family members against each other by asking children to turn in their parents if they say or do something against the government. One phone call seals your fate if you are a dissenter or independent thinker who is questioning how the government is doing things.

To think about this concretely, imagine some high-level government official in the United States said another political party needed to be eradicated by force and/or locked up in prison. They’d have to get the law passed and then get thousands of local police departments to enforce it—a daunting task. Decentralized power is a power that defends liberty.

Socialism is communism-lite. They believe in nationalizing some industries and or important societal functions but not all. Socialists will usually nationalize utilities, transportation, and large industries that tend to have labor problems. Here, the personalities involved matter a lot. Socialist governments either respect the prior governmental rules of free elections, separation of powers, and individual choice, or they push for complete government control of everything by their political party and end up allowing no dissenting political parties or individuals.

To understand whether socialism leads to communism, we will study two cases. The first case is Britain after WWII when socialist parties were elected to national political office. The second case is Venezuela, where Hugo Chavez was elected president in 1999 on a socialist platform.

The British economy performed poorly under socialism, and the British people elected politicians who believed in free enterprise and turned things around.

These post-war British socialists took it pretty seriously. They nationalized coal, electricity, steel, and the railways and set up the National Health Service to provide government-run health care. Farms and grocery stores were allowed to be private, and the British electoral system was left to allow free and fair elections. After a number of years, the British economy performed poorly under socialism, and the British people elected politicians who believed in free enterprise and turned things around. Socialism doesn’t always lead to communism, and Britain pulled back from the brink when they saw that the socialist promise led to everyone being worse off.

In Venezuela, the democratically elected Chavistas pushed for governmental control and brought in Cuban intelligence agents to assist them in quashing dissent and controlling the population. Venezuela had a special problem in that the government tried to force businesses into selling goods and services at a loss, implemented draconian currency controls, and were then surprised when the businesses stopped operating. The result in Venezuela was that stores had no goods on their shelves, hospitals had no medicines or machines that worked, and ordinary people took to looking through trash for food. Various political maneuvers were implemented by the Chavistas, the legislature was restructured, the judiciary was stacked, and the electoral system was compromised.

Now, any political avenue for changing the government in Venezuela is gone, and they have the very dictatorship that characterizes communist societies, along with a broken economy that works very poorly, even by communist standards. If you want to implement communism, you start up mass production of staples, implement rationing, and wink at the black markets that spring up. In Venezuela, the socialists pushed their way through to dictatorship and tyranny, and a complete economic breakdown was the result.

As I’ve said before, a communist society controls almost every personal, educational, political, and economic aspect of society. When faced with a government that has all those levers of control, you can be the toughest, meanest, smartest person and have people who agree with you—and your chance of changing the people in charge of the government is very low.

When a communist government moves on to a more open, pluralistic society, it is almost always because the people at the top decide communism is a bad idea.

Once the communist party in any given country has command over almost every control point, they all seem to have enough competence to use that authority to stay in power. Someone joked to me once that communism is the Hotel California of political systems—once you are in it, you can never leave. I can think of very few cases where “the people” overthrew a communist government. When a communist government moves on to a more open, pluralistic society, it is almost always because the people at the top decide communism is a bad idea and it is time to move on.

Gorbachev opened the door, and communism fell in the Soviet Union. When communism fell in the Soviet Union, the countries in Eastern Europe that had communism forced on them threw off that yoke. In China, the people at the top decided to allow some free enterprise and individual opportunity to spring up while not giving up political control.

A healthy society proactively avoids concentrating all power and resources in one party or person. This is more than just having multiple political parties and elections. It is the deliberate structure of society so that layers of local government, private companies, private or local educational institutions, civic organizations, judicial and police systems, individuals with personal wealth, non-profits, and religious organizations act as a brake on any party or person that goes off the rails and attempts to implement a dictatorship over society as a whole. A healthy society has private businesses that have to serve customers to stay in business.

The next time you vote, look past the siren song and vote for someone who understands where freedom and liberty really come from.

In a healthy society, politicians are given power relating only to their function: legislating, performing legal judgments, or managing a very specific, well-defined part of the government. Checks and balances with other offices of government are implemented to further reduce the power of government officials. The next time you get angry at the person your fellow voters put into office, remember that limited government is the tool that makes it so that leader can do fewer things that affect your life.

The siren song of socialism and communism is alluring. Perhaps it is human nature that we want to be taken care of in all circumstances and be assured that no other person has material circumstances much better than our own. But the record is crystal clear. Socialism and communism lead to underperforming economies, loss of individual opportunity for generations, equality implemented by everyone being poor except the party apparatchiks, lack of innovation and progress, and incredible political and religious oppression. The next time you vote, look past the siren song and vote for someone who understands where freedom and liberty really come from.

3 Things You Need to be Friends with People You Disagree With

I spent the past weekend relaxing with old friends. While it was a busy weekend, we had plenty of time to catch up. Over the course of the weekend, we discovered how much we have changed in just a few years. We live very different lives and hold very different—I would even say opposing—views on religion, politics, and life in general.

But that didn’t stop us from having a great weekend. Nor should it have. Few friends agree on everything, but we can—and should—be willing to make friends with people who hold different beliefs and come from different backgrounds.

Maintaining these friendships is easier said than done, especially if we find the other person’s views disagreeable or offensive. But it is possible. The secret to staying friends with someone who disagrees with us lies in our attitudes towards each other. Here are three attitudes that are key to being able to maintain friendships with people you may disagree with:

(1) Intellectual Humility

We need intellectual humility—an awareness of our own intellectual limitations and fallibility and a willingness to consider new ideas—to have good friendships.

Every one of us has likely talked to someone who lacks intellectual humility. This sort of person is easy to sniff out. When confronted with an opposing view, they react in one of two ways: they bully their opponent into submission or retreat into a chilly, patronizing silence. Either way, a person lacking intellectual humility can’t handle anyone challenging their (often tenaciously held) beliefs.

The intellectually humble person, on the other hand, is a pleasure to be around. While they won’t compromise their beliefs to get along with other people, they will take other people’s beliefs seriously. They are passionate about finding the truth, and an intellectually humble person will readily change their mind if they can be proven wrong.

It’s easy to see why this virtue is necessary to a good friendship. Even the slightest disagreement will disrupt a friendship with someone lacking intellectual humility. And on the flip side, intellectually humble friends will listen to even the most eccentric theories and weigh them fairly, which allows friendship to thrive even among people with different beliefs.

(2) Respect for the Individual

If we would like to be friends with people that we disagree with, we must also recognize their individual character. It can be dreadfully easy to think we know all about a person just from knowing their race, political leanings, religion or orientation. But even if we know these details about a person, do we really know them?

Saying that we know a person just because we know a few demographic details is like saying that I know exactly what Argentina is like just because I can list off a few facts about the country. Obviously, I know nearly nothing about Argentina compared to someone who lives there.

But similarly, we can’t claim to know a person unless we spend time with them and get to know them. Even if we know their political leanings, do we know why they lean that way? And if they are from an ethnicity different than ours, do we know how growing up with that background has affected them?

Properly speaking, friendship is between two people. If we look at people as if they were just the sum of a few general details, we aren’t looking at them as people, and we will never be able to be friends with them. But by learning more about their thoughts, motivations, questions, and stories, we start to see them as they are. Getting to know a person in this way is the foundation of a good friendship.

(3) Brotherly Love

I use brotherly love to describe the general goodwill between friends, but it could also be referred to as humanity or benevolence. It consists in seeing and loving the good in another person.

Brotherly love plays a critical role in preserving a friendship between two people who disagree. For instance, if two people disagree about hot button issues, it’s frighteningly easy for one friend to get in a fit of anger, accuse the other of injustice, and storm off. But brotherly love prevents this sort of reaction among friends. Instead of getting angry, the friends give each other the benefit of the doubt because of their mutual goodwill. They strive to see the good in their friend’s beliefs. And even if they find their friend’s views wrong or offensive, they take the time to investigate why they hold these views.

While there are some things that friends may never agree on, the brotherly love they share, coupled with intellectual humility and care for the individual person allows them to remain friends despite profound differences. Could developing these attitudes help preserve our friendships with the people that we both love and disagree with most?

new jimmy choo perfume 2017 | A Temporary History Of Jimmy Choo

new jimmy choo perfume 2017

It was then, in 1996 that both himself and his niece Sandra Choi launched Jimmy Choo. The luxurious manufacturers footwear designs turned internationally recognizable and desired by many. After the preliminary success of the brand's shoes, the label went on to launch purses , equipment and ready-to-put on.

He set forth determining why his designs, glamorous as they were, hurt the toes of the wearer. As such, he headed off to the College of Southern California to check the human anatomy in an try to unravel this problem. After his thirteenth year in the United States, Ferragamo returned to his homeland of Italy where he continued his commerce in Florence for some of the strongest and influential ladies of the time. By the1950's, Ferragamo shoes had a workforce amounting to over seven-hundred craftsmen producing 350 pairs of hand-made Ferragamo sneakers on a daily basis.

JAB, with more than $30 billion value of assets under administration from coffee to fashion brand and New-York listed cosmetics group Coty, makes investments for the Reimanns, the German billionaire family still related to soaps and detergent maker Reckitt Benckiser.

Wellies is principally a nickname for a selected kind of rubber boot that originated in Great Britain. Initially, they had been known as Wellingtons, which is a reputation model for boots made by a British company referred to as Hunter Wellington. They were probably the first producer of what we call wellies at present, so both Wellingtons and Wellies refers to these kind of boots, and customarily it is the identify used regardless of what company actually makes them. Whereas Hunter Wellington is still around and making great boots, plenty of firms, such as J Crew and even Jimmy Choo, make the same style in the present day.

The plot of a girl down on her luck: husband gone, job as a checkout woman, two kids to help, a double wide trailer she's had her eye on and can't pay for and a tv about to be re-possessed, who lands up in a misbegot partnership with a younger Mohawk tribe lady smuggling illegals over the border hits just about every cliché in the e book (how about driving throughout skinny ice!), but the feral intensity of the women and their hopes for his or her kids make this worth watching.

A Visit with my Sister

Some of my readers may know that I have an older sister who resides in a nursing home. She is unfortunate enough to have contracted Fronto Temporal Dementia, which affects her cognitive ability and moods. For many years we have struggled with this and it has been a difficult road for her and  for our whole family.

When I visit my sister, I always try to bring something entertaining to share with her - music, books, flowers, etc. Yesterday I brought her hydrangeas from my garden and photos of other flowers that are blooming now as well as pictures of our house. She seemed to enjoy looking at them.

After that, she seemed to be deep in thought and I asked her what she was thinking. Without a bit of rancor or jealousy she said, "When you get home, I want you to kneel on your front stairs and kiss them, and thank God for your home."
It was a rare lucid moment for my sister and a moment that touched me deeply.

Having a home and being able to live in it is a blessing.
I'm truly grateful for that privilege.

Thanks for the reminder, Carol.

Libby Fife said...

Your hydrangeas are always so beautiful!

Your sister is sure right. Having a home, a house, is a blessing. We would all benefit from thinking about that.

Very happy that you had a good visit with your sister. Also a blessing!
Take care,

Debra Dixon said...

What a poignant visit with your sister. I know it must be difficult but when you get a gem like that, it must seem worth the time & effort.

Truly, not a day goes by without thanking the Lord for my home. Its significance is not lost on me.

Peace to you, Judy.

Simone said...

Just catching up with you here Judy. That was a profound thing for your sister to say. I too am grateful for my home. x

Jennifer Richardson said...

Wow, what a powerful insight.
I appreciate every little reminder to practice gratitude.
There is nothing more healing
and perspective is everything.
Thanks, you, for the nudge
and for sharing your beautiful home:)
- Jennifer

Cath Wilson said...

So sad to read about your sister. Lovely flowers, though.

Leah said...

I'm so sorry about your sister! My mom is experiencing dementia and it is so sad. Your flowers are lovely!

A gr8 Essex Nite Out

At New Hall School, near Chelmsford, to hear the incomparable Dame Gillian Weir playing the newly restored chapel organ. This was a real treat - the last time I heard her playing was over two decades ago, at a Prom, in Saint Saens' exhilarating 'Organ Symphony'.

Last night's programme of mainly French and English music showed off the organ's entire range to best advantage, and a video link to the console allowed the audience to watch as well as hear, which was quite fascinating.

Not a nun in sight. How refreshing. Seeing the auld place took me back to the late 70's, returning my 'neices' on a Sunday night, being looked up and down reproachfully by the house mistress (the black leather jacket, Cuban heels and big hair didn't help the scenario) and being told curtly that the dormitories were out of bounds. Happy days!

Juliet said...

The nuns have all moved out now Greg. And there are boys' dorms!!

Folkestone’s five star show ends Bromley’s Cup dream

Cugley delighted with his team's display as Invicta reach Kent Senior Cup Final

Bromley 0-5 Folkestone Invicta
John Ullman Kent Senior Cup Semi-Final
Tuesday 23 March 2004
Stephen McCartney and Richard Murrill report from Hayes Lane

Long-serving Folkestone Invicta manager, Neil Cugley was full of praise for his team after they booked a place in the final of the John Ullman Kent Senior Cup with an impressive 5-0 win at Ryman League Division One South outfit Bromley at Hayes Lane.

Cugley’s side, unbeaten in an amazing 23 Dr Martens League Eastern Division games, host cup holders Margate in the final at their Cheriton Road home on 27th or 28th April.

Margate’s dominance in the Kent Senior Cup continue after they disposed of Dover Athletic 3-1 at The Crabble in the other semi-final played on the same night.

Cugley said: “I thought we worked extremely hard and to be honest Bromley were the better side up to when we scored.  After that, however, we controlled the game and I did feel before the game we could exploit Bromley with set pieces.  Obviously that did come true in the first half.”

Five goals in a sensational thirty-two minutes either side of half time took Invicta through in style, blowing away Stuart McIntyre’s Bromley side, even though the Ryman Leaguers had the better of the early exchanges.

Bromley are a side that can create a number of chances throughout games, but they must learn to score the goals and kill teams off as early as possible.

This was the case after eleven minutes when Landry Zahana-Oni’s run enabled him to thread the ball to Kevin George, but the former Grimsby Town and Wimbledon player dragged his shot wide of the far post from twelve yards.

Two minutes later, Bromley central defender John Wilfort  was almost punished for a poor back pass to goalkeeper Danny Harwood as James Dryden intercepted but the goalkeeper saved the low shot from seventeen yards.

Harwood denied Dryden again after twenty minutes, watching the left footed shot from 25 yards take one bounce before making a comfortable save.

Just before the hour mark, however, Bromley created chances of their own.  Cheered on by their passionate and vocal fans that created the best atmosphere at Hayes Lane this season, they must take credit for supporting their battered side for the entire game, even at 5-0 down.

 Zahana-Oni carved an opening for talented midfielder, Gary Drewett  whose eighteen yard shot was clipped wide of the right post before Colin Luckett shot narrowly wide of the left post after the assistant eferee waved for a Bromley free kick.

From the resulting set piece from skipper John Myatt, who is set to make his 200th appearance for Bromley in Saturday’s crucial home Ryman League clash with Bracknell Town, delivered the ball and Mark Willy headed over from only seven yards.

Drew Watkins clipped the ball over the home defence for Martin Chandler to exploit the back line.  His cross, however, was superbly plucked out of the air by Harwood, a crucial save as Folkestone had three attackers waiting at the far post.

Twenty-six year old centre half, Adam Flanaghan opened the scoring after 37 minutes when he headed in Chandler’s deep corner from the left from close to the goal line at the far post.

And Flanaghan made it 2-0 three minutes later when he got the final touch after an almighty scramble in the Bromley goalmouth when Paul Lamb’s corner was initially headed on by James Dryden and then took a deflection off a defender when a Michael Everitt shot came back in.

The night got better and better for Invicta as it soon became three goals in six amazing minutes from set pieces as a Chandler free kick from 35 yards out, close to the left touchline, incredibly flew over Harwood, who made one Folkestone appearance last March in a 4-1 home win over Hednesford Town,  and into the far corner of the net.

A well-worked Folkestone corner six minutes after the interval almost made the score 4-0.  Chandler’s free kick was cut to Watkins who dummied for Anthony Hogg who curled a shot wide of the far post from 25 yards.

Watkins did make the score  4-0 after 52 minutes on his return to his old stomping ground where he played for Bromley’s groundsharers Cray Wanderers until his move to Invicta during the summer.

The 23-year-old full back cut in from the right hand side before smashing the ball into the far corner of the net in a move, which, he himself had started, which also involved Lamb, Hogg and Dryden.

Bromley manager Stuart McIntyre brought on experienced striker Wade Falana and the striker caused immediate problems causing panic in the visiting defence which allowed off-sorts Bobby George a chance at goal from 16 yards but his shot was hit straight at goalkeeper Anthony Kessell.

Just past the hour, Michael Harney’s corner was headed on by skipper Myatt and Falana screamed a shot narrowly wide of the left upright.

The best was yet to come for Invicta as Hogg completed the rout with the goal of the game after 65 minutes.  The goal came at the end of a flowing Invicta move as Lamb played the ball in and Chandler exchanged passes with Dryden before Hogg applied a sweet first time finish on the turn.

Cugley even brought on substitute goalkeeper Paul Egan for Kessell with four minutes remaining, and at least he was tested, Drewett’s low shot was saved to the goalkeeper’s left.

Cugley added: “We played ever so well in the second half and the two goals we scored were very good moves.”

Looking ahead to the final, Cugley feels his side do have a chance of lifting the silverware but that depends if his first team squad, in which only 12 players get paid, can stay injury and suspension free.

He added: “We will give it a shot.  We do have a small squad and that depends on injuries and suspensions.  We only have 12 paid players in the squad, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.  If we got a full side out on the day we hope we can give Margate a good game.”

Cugley has been at Cheriton Road for seven years and he admits his side only needs to win one more league game to achieve their aim of promotion into what currently is, the Dr Martens League Premier Division.

They face King’s Lynn at Cheriton Road on Saturday, and the manager said: “I think we need one more win to secure promotion.  We have King’s Lynn at home on Saturday and that is obviously a very important game.  If we can win that who knows what we can achieve?”

Cugley praised his defence for their solid performance against Bromley.  He added: “I thought our defence played well early on when Bromley put us under early pressure.  Michael Everitt and Martin Chandler, both local lads, both played very well.”

Cugley, who lives locally in Hythe, feels it’s important that eight of his squad live in Folkestone.  The club pays only 12 players and after financial problems last season, the club were forced to sell prolific scorer Alan Tait to Dr Martens League Premier Division side, Crawley Town.  Cugley, however, revealed the club’s finances are improving and the future of the club is good.

If they continue to play the way they did at Hayes Lane in the Kent Senior Cup Semi-Final, the Cheriton Road outfit should do well next season.

Bromley have to concentrate on the league, victory over Bracknell Town on Saturday is a must!

Christmas Programs

Both girls had their Christmas programs on Wednesday! Sarah was a sheep in the 3-year-old's class Nativy program and she was a very energetic sheep! Beth's entire lower school (K-5) did a joint Christmas program! It was super cute, too! Not many good pic's of her program. I have a video I'm playing around with & trying to upload, but its taking too dang long to upload today!

Crazy time of year

I'm getting TERRIBLE at posting updates- so sorry. This time of year is crazy for everyone. I feel like my to-do list never gets done. I'm really not complaining. I love this time of year. If I wasn't busy, I'd be complaining. Christmas doesn't really stress me out! I love everything that goes with it - the shopping (of which about 80% got done online!), cooking, baking, wrapping, it all!

We started a new tradition last Christmas called Elf on the Shelf. Many of you are already familar with this little guy. He is an elf from the north pole that shows up right after T'Giving. He is here to watch over the girls and report back to Santa each night. So, each morning, he shows up in a new place in the house. The only rules are that the girls can't touch him (or else they rub off his magic that he needs to fly back to the North Pole each night) and he can't talk, but he can listen. The first few days, the girls were in a frenzy to write him notes and letters to take to Santa, then they started drawing him, not so much. Although they still are curious each day of where they will find him, the "newness" has worn off...which makes my job harder! Our elf is playful this year and likes to try out the girls' toys, read their books, color in their coloring books, etc...We found him this morning checking out our fireplace, assumedly to make sure its safe for Santa next week! :-) Here are some pictures of our pesky little elf:

And here are a few other pictures of the girls that we've taken lately....

How to build and use a tri-loom

The history of the triangle loom is obscure

but the beautiful shawls with the symmetrical stripes and tartans can be as simple or as complicated as the weaver wants. Many weavers have adapted patterns for multishaft looms with stunning results.

The tri-loom is not well known outside of the States, especially in Australia, where Australia Post regulations means one cannot import anything larger than the 3 foot size. Most, if not all, tri-looms in Australia are home made.

Making the loom is surprisingly simple as long as a few factors are remembered:

  • It’s a right-angled triangle, so one angle is 90 degrees, the other 2 are 45 degrees.

  • Each side, regardless of length, has the same number of nails or pegs; the distance between them is almost totally irrelevant.

  • The size of the loom is decided by the length of the longest side, the hypotenuse.

  • If you don’t drill the nail holes, the wood will split.

  • Tri-looms can be big looms and take up a surprising amount of space whether in use or not. I store mine on hooks on the curtain rod over the spare room window.

Here follows the instructions for a 6 1/2 foot loom, but the construction technique remains the same no matter how large or small.

You will need a wood saw with a mitre box and an electric drill, preferably powered not battery run ( I burnt my cordless drill out on this). I used 2 x 2 Meranti, as its hard wood, and doesn’t weigh too much and is easy to get hold of.  For a 7 foot loom you will need just under 20 foot of wood. I used flat head nails as I couldn’t manage making all the pegs by myself, and split/cotter pins would have cost too much. I also used long bolts so that I could take it to pieces for storage.

Please note the diagram measurements are approximate and will need adjusting for your own loom. I don’t possess a work-bench so was working on the kitchen floor, the only almost level place I could find.

Measure out your hypotenuse, (mine was 78 inches with the ends cut at 45 degrees). This is the length of the outside edge of the wood. (As I already had a 3 foot loom to use as a prototype, I measured the smaller loom and divided the top length measurement by the side measurement to find out the ratios. I then divided my 78 inches for the top, which was the maximum length of wood I could get in the car, by the side length ratio to find out the approximate length of the sides. I added 2 inches for the width of the wood to one side piece. You can do this much easier by using 2mm graph paper and plotting it out, even if you have to calculate it as a quarter of a square. My husband found this process quite amusing, but it does work!)

The shorter pieces were approximately 56 inches long, with one end cut at an angle to butt the longest piece.

As you can see from the diagram, the sides are not the same length as I wanted to have the strongest join possible on the right angle join, so the width of the wood had to be deducted from the shorter piece. Check that everything fits together properly and you have the 90 degree angle and 2 x 45 degree angles, but do not join at this stage. You don’t even need to drill the bolt holes yet.

Now comes the fun part! I already had a 3 foot loom to work from, so the spacing between the nails along the hypotenuse was marked out and drilled at half an inch. This spacing allows thicker wools to be used in weaving without making it too difficult to use the side pegs/nails, which will be closer together.

To make sure that everything balances, work out from a center nail. I didn’t, and have had to add one.

Now you are going to start drilling, and this is back-breaking stuff, as well as seriously threatening the existence of your drill if you don’t take it slowly and give the drill time to cool down! You can then put the nails in, being careful not to split the wood.

Once the hypotenuse is done, count the number of pegs you have, and this is exactly the same number of nails/pegs you will have down each side. The corner nails/pegs are part of the count for each of the 3 sides. The spacing between the nails will not be half an inch, but less, which is why I say the distance between them is irrelevant.

Once again drill the holes, then tap the nails in. You can glue them into position if you want, and if you can get hold of 2 different colour nails, either alternate them, or make each fifth nail a different colour, as this will help you pick out any mistakes you might make in the weaving. Otherwise red texta on the wood will do the same job.

Once the nails are all in, using a metal drill bit, drill the hole for the bolts. You will probably go through a couple of nails, but that doesn’t matter. Then bolt it together, and you are almost ready to go.

I was going to build a stand for my loom, until an artists easel came on special, and the price was cheaper than the wood would cost to buy. They have since come down further in price. You will need a full-sized one and some clamps to hold it firmly in place.

Sand everything down very carefully. The last thing you want is your yarn catching on the loom. Some looms are then painted and varnished, and become real works of art in their own right. It’s a matter of personal choice.

Weaving On Your Tri Loom

Some people start with the point at the top. These instructions are for the point at the bottom.

I would like to thank all the people from the Yahoo TriLoom group, without who’s help I would never have got started using my loom.  The knowledge is theirs, any mistakes are mine.

To calculate how much yarn you will need, its basically the size of the loom x the number of nails down one side.

For mine it is 78 x 157 = 340 yards. If you are making a fringe as you go, which is the easiest way to do it, add double the length of the fringe to the length of your loom, so its 78 plus 8 ( for a four inch fringe) = 86 x 157 pegs = about 375 yards. A bit less in metres.  In weight my first shawl took 350 grams of mohair without a fringe and made a lovely airy delicate shawl, suitable for Australian conditions.

Regular (tabby) weaving is basically a matter of over-under, and the tri-loom is exactly the same, except you are weaving the warp and weft at the same time, and  you will be doing an over-under movement that will create warp and weft together, as if by magic.

At all times the start of any “throw” of the yarn starts at the top of the loom.

From the Left Hand Side the yarn comes over the first horizontal thread, under the second, over the third etc back down to the next peg to be used.

From the right hand side, it will come down under the first horizontal thread, over the second etc. You will find that as you do one side, the other side of the loom,  will do exactly the same thing! So you will need a tool like a ruler to make a path through the horizontal strands so you can pull your yarn through easily, with something such as a crochet or locker hook ( my locker hook is the most useful tool I have). It is important too, for your first experiment, not to use mohair as it clings horribly and is difficult to handle!

I knot my yarn on the first top peg on the left hand side of the loom, bring it down to the topmost peg on the LH side and across to the topmost peg on the right-hand side. It then goes up around the peg on the far right of the hypotenuse, then back down over the horizontal yarn to the peg next to the one used just before, and back across to the left hand side, up over the horizontal yarn, and around the next vacant peg to the top left, to then come down under the top horizontal thread, over the next etc.

You carry on doing this until you come to the middle of the top of the loom, and this is where you need your central peg. If you look at your last throw, you will find that you have 2 threads in the same shed. Cut your yarn so that you have plenty to come down from the top of the loom to the point one more time, and thread it through the horizontal threads in between those two threads to balance your weave. Your shawl is nearly ready to take down off the loom.

If you took it down now, it would unravel, so the usual method of ensuring that doesn’t happen is to crochet off the top row. If you can’t crochet, use needle and thread to sew through each turn of the yarn to hold it together. Now you can take it off your loom.

The last procedure is to “full” your fabric, which is basically washing it gently, according to the instructions for the yarn you used, then “block” it into shape. Some weavers put it back onto the loom for that, although its not strictly necessary and could rust your nails.

The tri-loom group I have mentioned has plenty of pictures, patterns and information in its archives, as well as an unending patience when it comes to answering questions from newbies. There are many loom-builders on it, as well as some of the foremost weavers in the States, so its well worth lurking there, even if you are a bit overawed by all that knowledge and experience to begin with!

Wayne Schmidt's DIY site has instructions to build your own tri-loom at

Kacey worked with us for about a year trying to find us just the right place to buy. She took the time to find out what we wanted in a place & would look to see if something was or would be coming on the market that would be a good fit. She also was honest if she didn't think a place would be a good fit & never pressured us. When we finally found that special place she had our house under contract in a week to make it all happen. She kept us informed thru the whole process and would take my calls even on Sundays to answer my questions. Her calm, confident manner made me feel confident that it was all going to work out and it did just as she said it would. Kacey works hard, takes care of all the details & makes things happen.Thank you Kacey for being truly amazing and making the whole process not so scary.Brigit
