I really like them all.  The warp colors are a nice medium brown with a  mixture of dark hunter greens. 

My Husband says "Why are you making things you cant sell" 

Everytime I sell one I tell him "Oh I sold another one of those runners you dont like" 

He just "hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm" at me

Pleasent Iowa.  He said you need to lay off take it easy.  I told him OK.  I'm icing 20min then waiting 40 mins.  Today I don't feel to bad we will see what tomm.  brings.  Still sore. 

I just joined a bowling league.   His comment was "oh just what you need"  I said yes rug weave, hop on Foxy (horse) every once in a while,  and now join a bowling league.  I'm not a bored Person.

Horses N The freeport tractor show

I have no comment about that show. 

But we did enjoy the horses.  I can say that much.  We left early Sunday and Harnessed dads team of Shires up and had a great day.  Major and Herman did a great job for us.  Then the next day we saddled us more horses.  They all did a great job.  I can say it "no problem with horses."  Well the 2 that got harnessed up and the 4 that got rode.  That still leaves us with 4 more.  Yes that adds up to a grand total of 10 horses.  Macy wants to harness up her mini Rusty So I think we are going to do that tonight.   I think I will be cutting rags n walking away from the loom for a little bit.

We are going to Freeport IL August 3-5.  I have never been to this one either. 

Macy with of course have her lawn tractor or garden tractor.  I  have been to 2 different tractor shows n one called it a lawn tractor the other one called it a garden tractor.  I will have to update n tell you what this one calls a Lawn mower without a mowing deck on it.
