We are a potholder/hot pad factory here. I load the loom and Far Guy weaves, I take them off the loom and start another for him. It is a great activity for him as he sits in the heat/massage chair. He is just 14 days post mastectomy surgery so his activity is restricted. He is still battling a cold.
I like doing the designs. Some are destined to be Christmas gifts and some headed to flippin happy home decor and more store in Grand Forks ND.
Thursday was a busy day while Far Guy went to his weekly infusion to protect his lungs I picked up a grocery order at Wally World, went to the other grocery store for a few things that Wally World does not stock, filled the car with gas, got a car wash, went to the Post Office and the bank. After we got home we unpacked groceries had lunch and a long nap for me, Far Guy just rested but didn't sleep.
We had left overs and a salad for supper.
Minnesota weather: High 67F or 19C Low was 40F or 4C.

N.A.P. necessary adult pause..wheni was 10 i made loom potholders and sold them door to door to earn money for camp...
ReplyDeleteI made potholders like that as a kid! They were so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI've been spending half a day purging and cleaning and the other half of the day doing something I like.
There has been two nights of heavy frost in our hollow so most of the gardens are done.
I adore the colors. Fall colors, including purple, are so warming and peaceful. I don't blame you for taking a nap. I've always been the sort to 'save' all of my little stops for one trip into town....and now I find it takes so much more time!
ReplyDeleteMy eldest went on a potholder making binge a number of years ago. We still have a couple of those that we occasionally use.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the pot holders remind me of fall. It’s good to stay busy. You did a lot yesterday! Whew, I’d be tried. Running around makes me more tired than yard work.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good that FG enjoys doing this. It does make the recovery time pass a little easier.
ReplyDeleteI remember when we had a metal loom like the one you are using. Each side was separate. We could unscrew the square and change the size or make a rectangle instead of a square. My sister and I had a lot of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work keeping up with daily duties.
ReplyDeleteIt's RAINING HERE!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved making those pot holders when I was young! Praying for Farguys cold to go away!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful creative activity for him...I loved making them years ago. He has come up with some great designs too. I do hope he is well soon. Hang in there both of you!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty...love all the colors you selected for the potholders. Perfect Fall colors and I can see how these will sell fast. Keeping you all in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteAnother appointment and errand day done. Love the potholders. They have a fall look to them. Naps are good. Hope FarGuy feels better and better and can catch some naps, too. :)
ReplyDeleteTell far guy to keep; on healing! Wow you are busy...running all those errands. I couldn't do any of that after my 10 days hospital stint. Takes so long to feel strong again. whew. Keep up the good work and hope the colds are totally gone soon. diane in northern wis
ReplyDeleteThose potholders are so bright and cheerful...they will make people happy. I am glad that Far Guy has them to have something to do. I hope he can get over the cold soon.
ReplyDeleteI love all your colors! I'm glad those are fun. I've yet to try them, but I'm still interested. We had patchy frost this morning, but nothing heavy yet.
ReplyDeleteI love those potholders!!! And that does sound like a busy day!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that you needed a nice long nap after doing all that.😴😴😴
ReplyDeleteGreat colors on those potholders. Your day sounds a bit like mine yesterday - bank, post office, pharmacy, gas station, and finally groceries. And a brief accidental nap in my chair after all that. LOL
