As you know I've been busy making 4" squares of wool of various colours. I think they're okay, but I want a loom with pegs closer....SO.....DH got right on it this morning.
A trip to Home Depot and the new loom is setting up as I write.
It took me ages to draw the dots to drill. The original weave-it was grouped in 3's and it makes it a lot easier to warp!!!
It took me at least an hour making dots to get it right!!!!!!! Tomorrow I'll drill the holes and maybe get the brads put in.
I'm still not sure what I'll make with all the squares....probably a bag for the first project. I'll have so many bags, I'll have to give some away!....don't worry sisters, I won't give you any!

It rained off and on today, so it was a good day for weaving. I got started on my rag rug and it's coming along nicely. I like the colours and hope the couple I'm giving it to, like it too. I'll never know, so they can do what they like with it...(oh no!!)
I'm going to have to cut and tie a lot more rags for it....very time consuming....they don't look all that intricate. I think most people would think they'd be pretty quick to make....well, actually they are once the prep is all done.
I'm still reading Harvest by Belva Plain....very good. I've read all her books long ago and I'm still enjoying them. You can't beat the price....all 50 cents at our local Mission store.
Scarlett has had a lazy day too. She seemed to hurt her leg a bit this morning and has been laying around most of the day....we went for an afternoon walk and she seemed okay. I hate it when she hurts.....a bit of a baby, I know. That's what happens to empty nesters!!!!! (fooled you, you thought I'd say old people).
Looking forward to another week with no appointments....it doesn't get much better than this!

Just to let you know...I like purses...lol! The rag rug looks beautiful, I use to have some along time ago...beautiful work!
