Some friends and I went to our favorite weaving supply store down in Wan Vert, Ohio…  Leesburg Looms!   They have this GIANT warehouse that is just full of really cool afghan selvedge as well as rolls of weaving rug warp for looms.   We went and explored, had a good time shopping and then stopped at a little Mexican restaurant for lunch and a pitcher of margaritas!!!   So much fun.   I haven’t really done anything like that in forever!  The funny thing is that we talked weaving and livestock, mostly goats for like three hours!   I think anyone eavesdropping would have really been puzzled by our laughter and weird topics!

Since I was shopping mostly for a couple custom orders that I have, I bought boring old black rug warp.  I forgot to take a picture of it before I put it all away!   But you can not go to the weaving store without getting a few bags of selvedge!   And boy, did they have some FUN colors this time!   We all gravitated to the springy bright colors!  I think we are just aching for a little color in our white and mud world!

I got to sewing strips for this lovely spring green long runner that I was working on and finished.  It’s nine feet long!   It will be in our Etsy shop sooner than later…  I almost thought about keeping it for my own!  But you know, the cobbler’s children have no shoes and the weaver’s floors have no rugs!   

Although, I plan to remedy that soon enough…   maybe even sooner than later!   I did pick out one and put it in our foyer…  it’s cute in there.  Once the mud season is past I might make another long runner for the kitchen out of these greens…  I have a big box of strips left!
