The Weaving Process Compared To A Real Estate Transaction

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:55:25 -0600

The Weaving Process Compared To A Real Estate Transaction

As I was preparing my loom to weave a project the other day, I could not help but think about all the steps involved in weaving hand towels. I then started to think about all the steps involved in helping a Buyer or Seller in their journey towards a purchase or sale of a house and I came up with these two summaries.

The Weaving Process:

Visualize the end result (set of hand towels, place mats, shawl)
select yarns
calculate and measure yarns
thread the loom
weave the fabric
remove the fabric from loom, secure the ends, pre-wash the fabric
Voila! Finished product ready for use!

A Real Estate Transaction:

Visualize the end result (a new home/the house sells)
select a realtor
calculate what one can afford or what needs to be done to sell
get things in motion (place the house on the market or look for houses to buy)
place an offer or accept an offer
work out all the details in order to go to settlement
Voila! Settlement! The Buyer owns a new home or Seller's house is sold!

Now if only the time to get to settlement was as short as it is to make a set of hand towels.

Trivia About Those Wavy 2010 Winter Olympic Medals

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:42:39 -0600

Trivia About Those Wavy 2010 Winter Olympic Medals

All of the medals for the Winter 2010 Olympic Games are made from recycled metal taken from computers, TVs and keyboards. Instead of being a traditional flat metal, they are wavy, "evoking the terrain throughout Canada, with its drifting snow, mountains and ocean waves". The artwork on each metal is a portion of a larger piece of art depicting an Orca Whale. Each Olympian receives a silk scarf that has a print of the full piece of art so they can see where their medal is located in the larger piece of art. Each medal is a unique medal. The bronze medal is made from cooper, the silver is all silver and the gold is mostly silver with a gold covering.

The art work for the medal was made by Corrine Hunt a Canadian artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage based in Vancouver, BC. Teck Resources produced and supplied the medals with the help of the Royal Canadian Mint. (My curiosity is now satisfied - Gloria)

The Power of Listening - Apolo Ohno

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:49:56 -0600

The Power of Listening - Apolo Ohno

During the Winter Olympics, stories about athletes fill the time slots before and after races take center stage. It was during one time slot I heard a blurb about Apolo Ohno spending time early in his career alone in a cabin to decide the course he would be taking in regards to his speed skating career. After some research on line I found more on this period in his life. To paraphrase: at the age of 14, after years of being raised by a single parent his father, showing an athleticism towards speed skating, and getting in with the wrong crowd, Apolo's father, Yuki, gave his son a gift in the form of an opportunity to truly listen to what his inner being was feeling. This gift (in my opinion) came in the form of an isolated 8 day personal retreat, in a cabin on the Washington coast, "with no television, no phone, no car -- only some provisions, the gray ocean, constant rain and his own angry, confused thoughts". It was this retreat that appears to be the pivotal point for Apolo Ohno, the point where he truly listened to what was in his heart and being, and where he decided to take his destiny into his own hands.

Just What Are Those Winter Olympic Flowers.....

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:41:57 -0600

Just What are those Winter Olympic Flowers.....

Last night I heard a report on the NBC Nightly News about the bouquets given to the medal winners at the Olympics. The creators of the bouquets are part of a program run through a flower shop in Surrey, British Columbia. The women who create these bouquets are "women who have left prison, are recovering from addiction, or have been victims of violence" . Amazing! And the flowers are green mums (yes I was right!) and hypericum berries.

Aston Pennsylvania's Connection To The Winter 2010 Olympics

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:59:55 -0600

Aston Pennsylvania's Connection To The Winter 2010 Olympics

Aston, Pennsylvania is home to a skating rink called Ice Works and in this place for the last 2 years American ice dancers, Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, the 2006 silver medalists had been training for their participation in this winter's Olympic games. Two years ago Tanith and Ben were looking for a new coach and ended up with Gennadi Karponosov who works out of this area.

How wonderful to have such a connection to the Winter Olympics for those of us who live so close to the Ice Works!
