Guitar Strap Pattern

I have acquired a bass guitar and need a strap. Last year, for my birthday, I acquired an Inkle loom. Coincidence?!

Yeah, actually, it is just a coincidence.

BUT ANYWAY!!

I don't know how to do anything fancy yet, like pick-up weaving or tablet weaving... but I can do plain weave and I can read "patterns" for the fancier plain weaves. AND SO!!!

This place is awesome. You can design your own patterns. Guess what I did...

Musical OCs

I like to write a lot (although not many people have ever seen the results) and am constantly looking for new short story prompts or character ideas. One of those came to me via Pinterest. The gist of the "game" is this:

1. Put your playlist on shuffle

2. The first song is your first character

3. The second song is your second character

4. The third song is their relationship
