Colder than.........

Staying in the studio on days like this.......the pellet stove roaring, fleece lined slippers on. Floors in an old house are cold. It was -4 or so when I left the home, and I think it warmed up to a balmy 10 degrees.
I don't even GO upstairs. It is way too cold up there.
My friend came over again, these are her Mom's old shirts all cut and sewn. Aren't they awesome?

She was a little tearful, watching them weave up into a rug.

But isn't it a beautiful rug?? Her Mom would be proud.

And here is the rug she made from the jeans and corduroy pants. She hasn't tied the fringe yet, but she couldn't wait to see it!!!

I have spent the last couple of days on a dish towel project. When I say that it was troublesome, you will just have to imagine my cursing under my breath. (and sometimes right out loud)
Anyway, it seemed that I made every mistake I could make, but since my friend was observing, and helping occasionally, it was a good learning experience for her.
The pattern is M's and O's on 6 harnesses. I am getting braver, or crazier.
Some think crazier.
But contrary to popular opinion, I do not need medication.
And/or treatment.
It is a family trait, this endless energy and motivation. Thanks, Dad.
Probably the worst thing about it is that in the morning when my eyes open, my feet hit the floor.
It is what it is.
Where did I hear that???
OK, without further ado, here they are....so far.
Hopefully, I will get 8 towels out of this warp.
