Wool Rug

Wow!  Blog entries two days in a row.  Feeling homesteady, I guess.
Today I started an experiment with my loom.  I'm making a rug out of wool fiber. 
I card this and twist it into a long rollag.  Then I use it for the weft in the rug.
I know there has to be an easier way than the way I'm doing this.  I plan on washing it after it's done so the fibers can bind better.  I'll post a picture when it's finished.  (But only if it turns out.)

Today...

Today-I was going to tell you about all of the ugliness that the melting snow had revealed in my yard...


 I woke up to this...


It takes care of the ugly.
So, today-I finished doing my taxes!!!! And celebrated by downing a bag of Doritoes.

Today- I will practice my dulcimer-
Today- I started collecting eggs for the incubator.

Today-I'll grab a cup of coffee and a good movie and not feel guilty about it.

And that's it for today.   Hope your today is blessed.
