Rag Rugs

 

Mom needs a project

something we can do together

or she can work on alone

she is so BORED

 

we have a few frames left

that my dear BIL Frank made us years ago

 

so I thought we could weave a few mats

start small with 9" squares

 

then maybe on to larger pieces...

 

 

found this example on Pinterest

first we'll work on the strips

rolling them in to rag balls...

 

will need to look at my book

for directions on how-to from there

it's been years since weave done this

 

praying it is something that will

interest her and make her feel useful

I told her we're going to give them away

she loves that idea!

day off yesterday

spent most of it sleeping

and running with the stomach flu

or more likely reaction from delicious pasta and sauce

lunch and dinner the day before

ugh

 

either way...I got lots of rest

watched lots of Fringe episodes

and brushed a bushel of fur of Melrose

 

feeling much better today

good thing

took the day off to go with Mom to ortho doc

think it's been 6 months since her last visit

hoping we won't need to go back

 

 

this is about the size we'll start with
