Woven Christmas Table Runners

I've got 13 days until the studio tour and

 I am working hard to finish up Christmas table runners.

This is a weaving technique called "overshot". 

It is woven with two threads, 

a red wool is the pattern thread and a green pearl cotton is the tabby thread.

I tried to get a close up so you could click on the photo 

to see the subtle green tabby in the background. 

The darker spot in the lower left hand corner looks like a stain but it is a shadow.

I'm not that great of a photographer.

There are a couple of rugs to finish, some ornaments almost done, the house and studio to clean, Thanksgiving to prepare for and then decorating for Christmas. 

All of this has to be accomplished in the next 13 days! 

No wonder I am feeling tired and stressed.

But, it always comes together in the end and turns out great. 

Besides, things could be so much worse, such as living in Buffalo, NY.

I can't imagine having that much snow!
