Warping again

I am getting to warp my rug loom again.  I just took the last two rugs off the loom.  I keep thinking spring colors, but I am destined to do blue again since I have some orders for blue jean rugs.  My little loom is vacant, maybe I will do a spring color on her.  Table runner?  Placemats?  I will have to think about for a few days.

Weavingone's Blog

Here is the deal.  I am a SAHM that does a little crafting in my spare time.  For those that are SAHM you know that there isn't much free time, but I make a point of doing something for myself everyday.  I like to think of myself as a fiber artist.  My husband says I am just a loom collector.  I also dabble in a few other crafts.  I have recently started selling some of those items on Etsy.com.  Etsy is a great website where you can buy all sorts of fantastic things that are handmade by some really amazing artists.

I call my store Junk into Funk-tion.  I make functional art out of recycled materials.  My latest creations have been purses that are made from recycled fabric and wooden signs.  It started with a purse that I made for myself, but my girlfriends loved them and wanted to buy them.   I also weave some fantastic rugs made from fabric that spent its former life as a pair of jeans, flannel sheets, or some other object
