Okay, another rainy day but this time the clouds cleared and left us with a cold wind. I know we have to have some winter but no one said I had to like it. To get a break from the cold Mom let me go to town with her and I traded in some old ropes I had for a new Classic Heat Heading rope. The guy who owns the feed store sells used ropes and for the cost of a new rope he got some used ones to sell. It is a win, win for us young broke cowboys. Ropes are expensive and it takes me two weeks pay to get enough money together to get one. This way every once in a while I get a free one.
Across the parking lot from the feed store is V & S. It is kind of a discount store and the only store in town that has material. And they are the only store besides Wal-Mart that has yarn too. That is what draws Mom in. Most times Dad and I head to the feed store while Mom heads to V&S. This time Dad wasn't with us so Mom went to the feed store with me and I had to go to V&S with her.
I know it doesn't sound like a terrible thing to you but Mom could take all day in that store. After walking the rows and rows of material one thing caught my eye. That one thing that I found down the isles while Mom looked at stuff was this really cool looking material. And it was on sale.

Mom picked up a piece for me and said she would make a lap throw for me out of it. I found two squares that she said she would make into a pillow to match. Then She picked up an extra set and said she knew something "that would send the winter blues packing". We paid for my set and the extra and headed home.
Mom made both lap throws and my pillow and I sat down to watch another Rawhide.

Mom said that the extra lap throw could be a wall decoration or a lap throw and she said I could give it away on the blog. She said she would also include the extra sqaures so that someone could make a pillow or two if they wanted too. (She said they would also make cute quilting sqaures if someone had a notion to make them in to some) That way whenever I use my lap throw and pillow I could think of whoever has the other one as my winter blues chaser. She said I would get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that maybe the matching throw will help chase someone elses winter blues away. I know they look a bit like Christmas but I don't care I just like the scene.
