I found an afghan my mom made in 1962. It is full of yarn remnants left over from her mother's knitting pursuits. It's bold - very primary color based - and I love it.

My mother passed away on October 26, 2009. We brought back an old frame from the house, but the picture in it was, unfortunately, ruined. My wife decided to use the frame for a tribute to my mother, and her rug-making.
Mom developed the craft of creating hand-woven rugs from cloth cut from used coats. She exhibited her work in various venues, and taught classes on this craft. There is a photo of such a class as part of this graphic. She made a few hundred of these rugs, in sizes ranging from chair-seat size to nine or more feet in length. Some were round, some were elongated, and she used both a spiral and a spoke method of weaving. She made several hundred of these during her life in Michigan, where she and Dad moved in 1983, We, and other family and friends, have many of them, and she sold some, too.
My wife arranged a number of photos that were taken by one or more friends of my mother. I scanned them, tweaked them with The Gimp and Corel Photo-Paint, lined the scans up, and merged them into one graphic, in Corel Draw, then tweaked the result in Photo-paint. We have had the resulting graphic printed out at 14 by 18 inches, and, we hope, it will eventually be suitably framed.
I inadvertently placed two copies of one rug in the graphic. My wife decided that she liked it that way. She also picked out the border color at the top and bottom, which we used to fill out the needed dimensions.
There are larger sizes of this graphic available, but be warned -- this picture's original size was 14 Megabytes, more or less..
The picture belongs to a set -- click on the "Rugs by Martin's mother . . ." set in the right column, if you want to see a few other, more ordinary photos of her rugs.
I'll never do anything like this, I'm sure, but I'm glad my mother did, and that my wife decided to create this remembrance.
Thanks for looking.
the other day I was in the garden watering my peppers when I noticed this one plant that had circular cuts in the leaves. I haven't had any problems with pests in my garden so I was stumped. Could this be the work of a caterpillar? I got on-line and did an image search and soon found out that this is the handy work of a leaf cutting bee...which I've never even heard of before. They don't eat the leaf material but use to for bedding in their nests for their babies. Nests that they build in rose bushes which, of course, I have several. Oh joy! Hopefully they don't do any more damage and this plant will live. If it does live I'll let the bee live too ;)
