The last week of Feb . The month went fast , still one week left in the month though. I made some Pink rugs and some Sea Foam green placemats.. All are still on the loom though. I'm going to make another to turn under, so I can keep weaving through to the end of the warp, without wasting to much.
The snow this weekend really piled up. we got another 6 inched and it is wet and heavy.. hopefully our street will be cleared today, (a dead end so it is highly unlikely today will be the day).
I'm on my way to the basement to weave again.. didnt get anything done over the weekend. So off I go to weave until 4p.m.

New Rugs
I've got four new denim rugs off the loom this weekend. YEAH! three are solid denim and one has red stripes with denim. They are so pretty! Actually two of them are the same, I had the fabric on shuttles and decided it was way to much to make one rug from, so, I made two. I made them to hem the ends so there is NO fringe. That fringe just seems to tangle, get caught in the vacuum and I've heard that the pets like to eat or play with it. ( I don't have a pet in the house so I wouldn't know).
This week I plan to do some more weaving. I have white terry cloth, and also some corduroy on shuttles. The corduroy is a mix of tan and burgundy. They should both turn out to be nice soft rugs. They probably wont be very long but they will accent any room.
Keep on weaving!

February Weaving
The weaving has been slow this month. Only into the first week of the new month but it seems I just can get into the basement to weave.
I finished a denim rug that I had started on Monday, today is Thursday, so that goes to show how fast I worked this week.
I also started a matching rug today, at least I got it started. I will be about the same length as the first.
I put white terry on the shuttles to be ready to weave tomorrow, we are predicted to get some snow so that will be a good excuse to stay home and weave. The little kids will be here and they are always eager to "help" , it also means another slow weaving day. They have to learn someway, what the weaving game is all about.
A new month can make a difference, hope we get some sunshine in the near future, seems everyday is so gloomy , dreary and cold lately. We are sure to get some warm weather soon and lots of warm sunshine too.
Ive got a bunch of pocket purses lined up to sew together, also have some large pant purses to make handles for and sew the Velcro onto and then they will be ready for the market. It wont be long before May is here, then the weekends will be filled with a market day.
Happy weaving!
