Rag Rug

How starting a new craft project can beat the winter blahs

The gray sky is getting to me a bit.  We’ve been sick and I’m SICK of indoors.  I am craving my garden therapy.  

I’d even mow the grass if it was green.

But it is February and we are slogging on with catching up on school so there can be more time outside in April, May and June.  

March brings us the promise of spring with slightly warmer temperatures but we can still have a lot of snow happen here in mid Missouri.

It seems like in the past two months I’ve had to run out the door at a moments notice.  Then when I get where I am going, then I just sit for hours waiting.

Hospital rooms, doctor visits, or sitting at chemotherapy with mom.  They all have one thing in common.  Time where I just sit and wait.

My solution to this is my bag.  It has projects, snacks, paper, pen, gum, money & my Kindle.  If I have this ready then I can grab my id, keys & I am ready for the day.

My current project is a rug.  I don’t really know why I love rugs so much. Probably because it combines something useful with something of beauty.
