With the emphasis in todays world on recycling, going green and not wasting our natural resources, I think we would be better off today if we had paid more attention to our ancestors. They had the practice of reusing items and not wasting anything from the start. One of the items that they recycled is something most people would throw away. Rags! I was fortunate enough to inherit my Great Grandmothers loom that my Mother cherished and made great use of by turning our old sheets, jeans and clothes into beautiful, practical rag rugs. I can remember Mom sitting for hours and tearing old clothes or sheets into narrow strips, sewing or knotting the ends together and them rolling the rags into balls that she would later wind around a shuttle to weave into her rugs.

To weave a rag rug, one of the things you need in addition to a loom and rags of course, is warp string. The warp string is a stronger, heavier yarn that is held tight by the loom’s frame. Warp has to be strong, because it is held in a lot tension during the entire process. Be sure when you are stringing up your loom, that you have even tension to make your rugs more durable. With today’s technology, we are able to use cotton yarn and artificial fibers, but traditionally warp was wool, linen or silk fibers. Usually, the warp is more of a neutral color to blend in with your rags but it does come in a variety of colors to use. When stringing up your loom, be very careful not to cross the warp threads. You will have to thread your warp thru the heddle, which is a comb like item with slots and holes that you will alternate the warp thru. Most looms will come with complete instructions, but if you pick up a used loom, try searching on the internet for instructions. Unfortunately, the loom that I have doesn’t have a manual, so I am very careful to attach my new warp thread to an existing string and pull it thru the heddle that way. This step will require some patience, you have to be sure that you dont cross your warp string, that you alternate it between the holes and slots and that you have tight even tension. It takes me a good day to string my loom, but once its strung, I can weave several rugs before I have to string it up again.

Once the loom is strung and you have your rags torn and ready to go, the fun begins. Your rags or as they are called weft must be wound on a shuttle. A shuttle is usually a flat stick with notches on the ends that you wind your weft on lengthwise. The width of your rag strips can vary depending on the thickness you desire on your rugs. I will typically use between 3/4 to 1 strips depending on the heaviness of the fabric. I make my strips of blue jeans into narrower strips than what I would a linen fabric. You can use both types of material in the same rug; just make sure the finer fabric is in wider strips to make your rug more even. The fun thing about using rags is the assortment of colors that you will have and how they will weave a pattern in your rug. You are able to weave by raising and lowering the heddle and sliding the shuttle thru the open space in your warp threads. When you raise the heddle, the strings that you have put thru the holes will raise, while the strings that you have in the slots will remain stationary. Once you raise the heddle and slide your shuttle thru, you will have to make sure that the welt is tight against the preceding row. Most looms will have a type of comb bar that will aid in this process. Now you change the position of the heddle by lowering the holes and raising the slots, slide the shuttle thru, tighten the welt and keep repeating the process. It won’t be long until you reach the desired length of rug that you want. I almost forgot, you will also need a stretcher to hold the ends of your woven rug to the original width while weaving, so you dont end up with an hourglass shape.

To finish the rug, carefully cut the warp from the front of the loom, leaving enough warp to be able to tie two strings together in a knot, about 4 works well. This will not only secure your rug from unraveling, but it adds a nice fringe to your finished rug. All you have to do is repeat the same process to your rug on the back of the loom and youre finished. You will love how rag rugs wear and are easy to clean by running them thru the wash with a mild detergent. Vary the width of your warp and make place-mats, table runners or use your imagination to make a variety of things. Just tear, string, weave and enjoy!

Do you find that you spend money you happened to find differently than other money? What about time off that you were given just cause? There is something psychological that happens to our minds when it comes to freebies. We’ll obvious take the free mochachino sample being handed out at Starbucks even though we don’t necessarily want it, we’ll stuff our faces at a buffet and we’ll frivolously spend money we found in our pocket. There is no proven reason why we behave in this way – perhaps it’s because we don’t feel like we earned it and therefore don’t need to spend it responsibly, or maybe, in the case of the freebies, we feel like we are getting away with something and crave the rush.

If you were to win or find money how would you spend it? I suppose that depends on where you are and what you’re doing. Here are a few scenarios to exemplify my point:

1. Money won gambling:

Gambling is an addiction and a serious one at that. Few gamblers go home when their money is up. What usually happens is that they keep gambling it until they have nothing left. People who win money at the tables tend to put it right back down in the hopes of winning more.

2. Money won out with friends:

Of course it depends how attached to gambling you are, the night and who you’re with. If you’re out with a bunch of your buddies and are having a good time, you may take the 500 you just won on the slot machines and buy everyone dinner or a few rounds of drinks. When the winnings are relatively low they tend to get spent that night, or at least that week.

3. A dream vacation:

If suddenly you have found yourself with 1000 or some free time your boss gave you as a Christmas bonus you might choose to spend it all at once on something you can never quite fit into your normal budget. And that something might be a trip you’ve been meaning to take. A trip home to see your family, a hot air balloon ride, a weekend spa in the English countryside, doesn’t matter, book it and go.

People spend free money like gifts because that’s exactly what they are – pound notes that say ‘spend me however you like, spend me doing exactly what you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t been able to afford.’
