A couple of months ago at work, I was asked by one of my coworkers if I could sew new covers for pillows. They had gotten a new camper and wanted new matching pillows for the new place.
They also asked if I'd weave them a rug from the same material...
Well, I ended up suggesting a black denim rug - I had one in the size they needed and thought it would work for them, and sewed them up the pillows.
Of course, I took the finished products into work for them :)
Now, yesterday, another coworker came to me and asked me if I was interested in some 'pillow trim'.
She said they had been cleaning out her mothers place and thought since I was "crafty" I might be able to put this to use. Tell you the truth, I wasn't sure exactly what she meant by pillow trim. So I said I'd take a look.
Check out what I brought home ~ and she wouldn't take a penny for it...
I've already got ideas cookin' in the ole brain for the stuff on the spools.
Now I need to find the time and energy to try it out :)
Like I said. Hard tellin' where I'll find the next inspiration!
All for now, it's my bedtime :)

I think you're auguring for winter and all that indoors time. How lovely to have something to anticipate. I sold four sets of placemats last weekend. Remember when I'd pester you for the "how-to" part of rag weaving?? I can't believe I've become a producer. You are a weaving mid-wife :)
