It's in the 50's today, but dark, and rainy. I sure hope the wind dries up the swamp we now have. The pellet stove is off, the wood stove is off, and I'm in the kitchen today. I should be cleaning a bathroom, but you know we have to make those big decisions, ha ha!

Well, it's about time! Seriously, there is nothing bad about taking a day (or two) and just relaxing. Besides, you are always working while you're relaxing so it almost doesn't count!
I'm curious if you used worsted weight scrap yarn for your rug . . . or something heavier. If it is made of worsted weight yarn how do you get it to lie flat for you? Getting into pjs and a robe at 3 in the afternoon sound absolutely wonderful! Unless I get a burst of energy, that may happen to me today, too. (It's only at smidge after 2 p.m. so I can't do it yet, can I??)
Susan, you made me laugh. You are right. Unless I'm reading a book, I'm always working on something, ha ha!
Mama Pea, I used cotton. I crochet two together and and "I" hook. I just use up scraps leftover from making knitted dishcloths, and crocheted items made from cotton yarn.
I would love to make those rugs too as I need them. I was going to use acrylic worsted though as that is what I have the most of. I wonder if that would work? I love yours! I usually have my pjs on about 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. and get in bed because I have lots to do in the evening and my only t.v. is in my bedroom and my bed is like my couch! LOL! I watch the news then, work on a handwork project and then do my reading and a Sodoku puzzle to keep the neurons firing! LOL! Glad you took time for yourself!
Sam I Am, I highlighted my rug making in the left column of articles on the front of my blog. I simple crochet two strands of cotton yarn (used for dishcloths), and an "I" hook. I crochet across until I have the width I want, and use single crochet. I wash my rugs in cold water and line dry them. So far, they are holding out very nicely.
I did that yesterday. Worked from 10am-2pm and came home so bushed, I changed into pjs, laid down watching tv, and promptly fell asleep. My right shoulder (torn rotator cuff) has been bothering me quite a bit lately, so when I do sleep, I often wake with every movement shift because of the pain, so I felt like I was catching up, and it felt good.
I did get up long enough to care for the cats and chickens. Their food and water bowls need changed and filled, so I did do that, but all in all, my afternoon asleep went well. Life went on and the world didn't end after all. ;o)
I pray everyone's having a great week, and a safe one too.
God bless.

RB, I like your words "life went on and the world didn't end after all." I love that.
