Wow - something actually weaving-related!

I finally took the cloth off of the Bonhop loom (the yarn is more brownish than grayish):


Yep, there is an 'open' spot there, but after fiddling with it I don't see it anymore.

Originally it was going to be a spinning oil bottle holder; then it was going to be a mp3 player holder, but finally decided to use it for my GPS:

Unfortunately, it's just a little too small. So...

I turned it sideways, and tied the warp ends together...


I 'prettified' the seam by threading two of the long sets of ends over the knots, drew the short ends to other side, tied them off and snipped them. Then I stitched one side with matching yarn so the GPS wouldn't fall out when I picked it up from the other end.


I may end up making a narrow strap with a button for the other end, but since it is usually in my purse I'm going to try it this way first.

I still had some of the long ends to deal with. What to do...?

BEADS!

(And the GPS still fits! :-D)


Something doesn't look quite right on the beaded part though - what is wrong with this picture? Perhaps I need to cut the yarn ends a bit shorter?


And my newest toy -


It's an iRobot Scooba, for washing floors! I have a white vinyl floor that has lots of dimples, and Mr. Muddy Paws always has to traipse through there when he is muddiest. The only way to get the mud out of the dimples is to get on my hands and knees, and you can imagine that doesn't happen all that often. So far, the Scooba seems to do a good job and I'm pleased!
