A project


I can buy t-shirts at a thrift store near me........for a dime each.  I choose the largest ones I can, and fun colors.  I cut the bottoms off, then cut them into strips.  The strips are actually loops, I connect the loops together kind of like you would two rubber bands.........then roll them into balls.


Some t-shirts shed and crumble all over me.......I am in t-shirt dust........some cut up without any fuss.  I love to see my *pan* filled with rolled up balls, ready to crochet.


I am going to crochet the biggest rug in the world made out of t-shirts.  So far, this one is worth 80cents....plus my time.  Sheba wishes I would hurry and put it on the floor for her.  I just hope I can find a washing machine large enough to wash it in. 
What are you working on?  Do you always finish what you start?  Do you have more than one project going at a time?

I've got some rolls of fabric ready to make a rag rug... but I can't seem to find the time to sit down and start. Hopefully soon! :) You always make the loveliest things!

Looks like a fun but big project. I plan on doing some needle punch and rug hooking this fall but sad to say I do not always finish my projects.I look forward to seeing your finished rug.

  Psalm 42:9   I will say unto God my rock,  Why hast thou forgotten me?  why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?     Canst thou answer this, believer? Canst thou find any reason why thou art so often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why yield to gloomy anticipations? Who told thee that the night would never end in day? Who told thee that the sea of circumstances would ebb out till there should be nothing left but long leagues of the mud of horrible poverty?

Knowest thou not that day follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that spring and summer succeed winter? Hope thou then! Hope thou ever! For God fails thee not. Dost thou not know that thy God loves thee in the midst of all this? Mountains, when in darkness hidden, are as real as in day, and God's lo...
