A Loom With A View, or Front Porch Loom (Day 1)

Today is the official Day 1 (July 13, 2010) of the Front Porch Loom.
The idea was born out of a project that was posted recently in Weavolution, in combination with my actual free-standing garden loom.
The flower-like weaving will be removed as I progress and they get in the way. Might as well leave them in for now.
So.....this outdoor loom is just outside my living room window, which is on the southwest side of the house. Lots of heat from the setting sun, especially in summer. I thought this might be something nice to look at out the window, while at the same time, providing a little shade on the windows. I plan to continue to weaving daily as time allows, leaving a few small windows open in the weaving for interest and different light.
The view of the loom is quite different from within the house, as compared with the view from the street. I'm excited to see how this progresses, as there is no real plan. And those of you that know me, know this is a very difficult process for someone like me! :-)
