I sure will be glad when the warm weather gets here. Snow and ice no more. I've finished 3 rugs , at least gotten them woven.. I will now need to finish them by cutting them off the loom and hemming them. That wont take long. I am always excited to see the finished product. I sometimes forget what is wrapped up on the roll of the loom.
I've got denim, corduroy, and some mixed fabric rugs made, they will be displayed for sale at the Freight House Farmers Market in May. That is when the outdoor market begins, in Davenport Iowa. I can hardly wait.
My little helpers are also excited to begin going to market and helping me. Nolan and Lana (my twin grandbabies, now 2 1/2 are true market babies). Nearly every day they ask about market. . They help everyday for the market sale.
Days when we have to go across the river to get Benjamin from school we look across at the market lot and building to make sure it is still there. As a two yr. old they think everyday should be market day.
Back to work for me . I've cut and sewn denim for about two weeks, my supply of denim rugs will soon be back to standard. I like to have at least 100 rugs before the first of May. Lets hope that can be accomplished. Who knows , with this weather I am sure to have more than that the first day.
WEAVE ON!
