I got into weaving. Not that much of an investment, rather the 15 years I devoted to it. I sold the business, then the last loom I just gave it away. I had quite a carreer in weaving: I made rugs for Midwest Living, Country Living, Better Homes and Gardens and loved every minute of it. After 9-11, people nested, sold their 2nd homes and stopped decorating with my style of rugs.
