A Good Use of Rainy Days

We've had two days of pouring-down rain this week. Not only has it washed the pollen away, but I've spent two days inside, completely happy, listening to the entire playlist on my birthday I-Pod and warping the loom with my favorite yarn -- Henry's Attic Queen Anne's Lace. It's going to be a baby blanket for a good friend of Debbie's in Winston-Salem. If Debbie were here she would do something really extravagant to welcome this baby, so I thought I'd do something special. 

Here's the Queen Anne's Lace.
Here's this cute song; Love Bug, by Joan Armatrading playing:




We've both come down with the love bug and it means we got to stay in bed.
I hope you'se guys don't get this 'cause it knocks you right offa your legs.
Love Bug. .  talkin' 'bout Love Bug. . .
Let me 'splain the symptoms - first of all, there's hardly any pain.
With the love bug, you kinda lose your memory - you see, hear, think, talk, dream, care just for 1 person only.
So don't come down with the Love Bug 'cause it drives the sense right outta your head.
:-)






Here's the beginning of the warping process. The blanket will be about 36" square. Eight threads per inch in a waffle weave. White on white. Stay tuned.
