I have forgotten whether or not I could do it successfully. I am near retirement age. I am somewhat in-coordinate and now have arthritis in my neck and shoulders. I thought I could try weaving on a loom. Is your "free" offer still available? If so, I have a sister and friends in ABQ who could pick it up. My email is julrio@comcast.net <br /><br /><br />I love you instructional videos!!<br />Julie<br />Julie Airdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009941308343324870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853599539963282225.post-84775167876115313192014-01-23T05:53:38.356-07:002014-01-23T05:53:38.356-07:00Hand Oven products are always best..Hand Oven products are always best..Hand Wovenhttp://market.gocoop.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853599539963282225.post-52620241403426892912013-12-05T18:43:50.762-07:002013-12-05T18:43:50.762-07:00I sometimes find the simple act of leaving a comme...I sometimes find the simple act of leaving a comment rather difficult.

I love Minwax but was taught to mix in 1/2 part mineral spirits. What is the reason for this? I prefer the look of straight, undiluted Minwax but would like to know the reason behind the mineral spirits mix in because in some cases it may be a good idea. <br /><br />I'm loving this new craft!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06861749969535601213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853599539963282225.post-24887150054549164852013-07-15T10:32:25.763-06:002013-07-15T10:32:25.763-06:00I am fairly new to basket weaving and have been ex...I am fairly new to basket weaving and have been experimenting with stains. I was taught to mix in mineral spirits to my Minwax stain but don't know the reason behind it. A few times I've used Minwax straight up and like the result better. The color is richer and the seal of the wood and reed seems better. What is the reason for mixing in mineral spirits? i would like to know because in certain cases it would be helpful. <br /><br />I'm loving this new craft!<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06861749969535601213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8853599539963282225.post-29224779060428324642013-07-02T09:27:27.710-06:002013-07-02T09:27:27.710-06:00I found your b log while looking for information a...I found your b log while looking for information and I have added it to my favorites.
