Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

New equipment will replace items that are breaking down. My art allows me to interact with people and provides an outlet for my ideas. In addition, my creations provide people with warm winter scarves! I can use this equipment to demonstrate my work and to inspire others. I will purchase a new table loom, table loom stand, and spinning wheel; which will be used to continue in my creation of scarves, table runners, purses, and wall hangings. The spinning wheel will help me create my own unique yarns for some of these projects.
