Rabbit Trails

Friday, while Harvey was approaching the coast of Texas, I started to clean up my sewing room. *Somebody let it get messy.* The above picture is a huge old kitchen pantry from a sale.  It holds yarn, embroidery patterns, holiday fabric, sewing patters and crochet hooks.   The bird bag you see is the bag I take along in the car on long trips. I fix embroidery projects. I don't get car sick, so it's a fun thing to do while driving. It's better than crocheting because when I pull the thread up, I also look up. With crocheting, I never get to look up to see the country side. To the right is where I keep all my embroidery thread. I do have lots, but I do lots of embroidering. It's a low cost hobby and I love it. The top can is full of variegated thread. This is the table my sewing machine is on. It was formerly my Pastor and Wife's kitchen table. It's kind of special. The fabric on the left are hopeful aprons....

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?
