I've been weaving some pretty neat rugs and also had a couple of mug rugs finished this week.
I made my mug rugs on the large floor loom so I had 4 shuttles going at once. It was a great relief to get them finished.
My new rugs are looking real pretty. The denim with yellow stripes, Rust and tan corduroy, and a red white and blue made from double knit.
Saturdays market was again a busy day for me. Lots of people looking and getting ready for the holiday season.
The regulars all stopped by to say hello and look at the new rugs, Also so new customers buying for wedding gifts and Christmas gifts. What a great idea !
The weather was perfect on Saturday for the market. Everyone had a good time, and I am sure they all found a great treasure at the market .

Half Way into the market season
The market season is half over. The summer flew by, it is still summer though. Temps are hot and humid, but before we know it we will be saying it is to cold.
I still have some orders to finish and some new ones to begin.
Our Freight House Farmers Market has been very busy the last three weekends. Lots of out of towners visiting.
I've had my rugs go to Texas, Arizona, Oregon and Scotland this year. That is the ones that I know of for sure. All sold through our Farmers Market stand.
I also have the pocket pouches and jean bags that have been selling well. The children like the pouches and the older girls like the bags for book bags and all around purse bags.
The last month of the market I will start to make some Cotton Candy to sell. My niece has the big machine and she makes it for her punkin patch market. I think that by October everyone will be craving the taste of cotton candy again, the fairs will all be over and a cotton candy will sound delicious.
Its back to weaving for me, I'll be making lots of denim rugs with stripes, the yellow stripe seems to be a favorite with denim, although I will be putting in some white stripes too.
I'm also going to make some burgundy rugs for fall.
Happy weaving to all!.
