First day of July. It's hot. I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon. Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive. We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember. So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days. Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about 77 degrees. The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week. No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat wave). I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now. Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest. The last two stalks were harvested June 29th. The longest asparagus season we've ever had. They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

I really like the basket weave blocks, they will make a lovely blanket.
How many feet of rag braid will you need to make a rug?
I can't wait to see both of those projects when you get them finished! I hadn't thought of a rag rug. I have all of these clothes that I intercepted from the flea market before they went into the dumpster. Some have faded shoulders (from being hung out on racks in the sun), some have a little tear or spot here or there and some had just not sold over time and they were simply tired of them and wanted new stock. I just can't stand to see all of that fabric go into the dumpster, so I bring it all home and hunt things to make out of them. Guess I better do some reading to see how to make a rag rug to see if that would work. Do you have instructions any where on here?
