After resolving some issues in my mind last night. I was able to move forward today. I made some crafting decisions like if I make rag rugs in the future, I will just order the supplies needed. The reasoning behind this is takes an awful lot of work to turn old t-shirts into useable weaving fiber. People love the idea of a recycled rag rug, but the don’t want to spend more than $20 or so one one. Because I was using some recycled material they think that they should be able to pay less, but the warp alone usually runs about $20. If I am going to work at a loss it has to be better than decorating someone else’s house cheaply. So the t-shirts were torn up for dog pillows.
I did manage to sew 2 face masks and start 3 dog pillows. I think I can get a few masks sew every day too. I should be able to get at least 6 or 8 dog pillows done with this batch. Yes, I called the Humane Society and they would love more of my pillows. I don’t even have to go inside to drop them off. I have also gathered enough yarn to make 2 cotton scrappy hats for the clothing bank. The next hat has a rolled brim.
I also think that it is time to create a spreadsheet for grocery shopping and what we have in the house. I think the Excel Spread Sheet should work. Well another busy day tomorrow. Stay safe.
