A Handwoven Rug Will Be For Sale


Thanks to my job, I have been trained as a weaver since July '06.

I weave rugs.

As a result, I started to get special skills which
most of weavers never get. I say that
because weaving rugs needs bigger looms for sure.
Luckily, I am allowed to use the looms to work on my own projects.
Last Saturday, I took my time to weave a rug which is about
3'x4.5'. This rug will get fringe at either sides.
I am interested in selling this rug after I finish backing.
I want to see if somebody is interested in it... :)

By the way...

Dear all of my family,

You might be surprised but day by day, little by little,
I am growing up as a professional weaver here in the U.S.A.
I do enjoy my job. Sometimes, it is hard because of my
English-understanding ability. But this job gives me so much
satisfaction. Also, I am so glad to create something unique
with my hands. Can you imagine the rugs are sent to all over
the U.S. and they will be loved long in many many houses?
As the number of the rugs I weave increase, I feel like
I am slowly accepted by American people or this country.
You guys might not get a chance to see the rugs I weave in person.
Unless you want to have one...
Sometime in the future, I want you to see what I do here :)
