Wind... inevitable in South Dakota. On days like today when the wind is this crazy, I always feel a little restless, sad and lost. I don't know what it is, maybe the moaning in the eaves? I have a hard time setting into any project and find myself wandering from window to window. This kind of day makes it especially hard to start any new projects.
Fortunately, I always seem to have many different projects to pick from! There is warp on the loom that I have weft ready to weave, I have a new little loom I can play with, and there are some quilts that are whispering to me to come play. But all those things will have to wait a bit while I get some gainful employment in today.
The roll o' rugs is no more. All tied up and outa here... I had two helpers the other night as I was tying. This must have been an especially comfy rug - I stepped away for a moment and came back to these two testing it out. Goofy things. I had to chase them off so I could finish!
This rug ended up being a tiny 22 X 22 inch rug. It's made from a wool or wool blend woven throw that I found at a second hand shop. I love the color! The pictures I got of this rug don't do it justice. Nighttime light and a shaky hand were my enemies. I'd take another picture for you, but this rug is currently on consignment at the Goss Opera House in Watertown.
Yesterday I had to go get the dear son from the airport so I stopped to show my rugs on the way there. They accepted into consignment 19 rugs and 2 purses. We will see how it goes!
The last rug on the roll was this cute little thing.
Another unused and tired stadium type blanket becomes a nice little rug.
As I sit here, I realize that the wind also creates a bit of other emotion in me... It makes me cranky. Time to move on with my day. Hope you have a good one!
