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?

If I could find t shirts for 10 cents, I would try that! I love it! I have lots of projects going...in the quilting area...it's a big deal when I finish something. :(

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.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...
