But here it is anyway.
It turned out to be extremely soft, and quite thick.
You can see the pinwheels better.
Waiting on my sectional beam from AVL to put on the next warp.
The other day I was walking Roy, and I saw this item on the curb with a FREE sign.
I have no idea what to do with it, but I went back with DH's truck, and picked it up anyway.
It seems to be talking to me about what it wants to be in its next life, but I just have no idea what it is saying.
I guess the Toika isn't going anywhere. Fate has spoken. There has been no interest generated from any of my ads, so I guess it is meant to stay right where it is.
I am a believer that nothing is a mistake, so in that frame of mind, L and I are going to make some 4'x6' rugs.
Here is one we just took off the loom this week.
It makes me think of watercolors.
By popular demand, I will be selling kits of WHOLE socks SEWN together, in 5 lb bags, enough to make your very own CHUNKY rug.
They will be $39.95, and no, they are not on my web site yet, but you can email me.
It's been a busy week, but it's all good.
I had a smasher today, you know what I mean. But it didn't really bother me.
I used to have them EVERY DAY. Remember?????
Yup, all good.
I can picture that water color rug in a young girl's bedroom. It's sooo feminine and I like it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the baby blanket and the water color rug! So Spring! :-) That is an interesting "Free" piece... looks kinda like a house front.... or maybe a headboard for a child's bed... or a message board (either covered with fabric and ribbon... or chalk board paint)? Wow... that be anything really...
ReplyDeleteThe baby blanket is absolutely gorgeous! I love love love it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOne question...do you sell bags of the little loops for the pot holders? And if so where would I get that info? Thank you!
FYI - getting the blog in email allows me to click on the photo and when the pic comes up another click enlarges it fantastically, however when I go to the blog site and click on the photo in the blog I do not have that option.
ReplyDeleteLove the rug! Has the blanket been wet finished--if not the pattern might become more pronounced with shrinkage-- a thought? As ingenious as you are I am certain that freebie has an adventure in store! :-))
smasher must be related to that fabulous weather we've been having ... i had no surgeries and i had a major headache
ReplyDeleteLOVE that baby blanket
and i think that thing that followed you home would make an excellent marquee, billboard for notices ..
I love that baby blanket, Hilary. Yes, life goes on.
