Toothbrush Rugs & Random Stuff


I am working on a wool rug now. It's fun. I really enjoy this craft. It is a nice break from crochet. The selvage on this wool fabric is brown, and I really like seeing it every now and again in the rug. I think it adds a coolness to it. This rug is for a friend. I hope they get years and years of use out of it. If you are interested in making one, they are not hard at all. You don't need much in the way of supplies. You can use about any kind of fabric...except 100% polyester. I tried that, and it curled up. I suppose if you were making bowls that wouldn't be an issue. Go here for a great tutorial!

Here is a drawing Mimi made of us. I think it's funny. I look rather androgynous. (I am the one on the right.) It reminds me of that "Pat" character on SNL (in the '90's)!

This is just plain funny. He looks neurotic! Ralphie only goes in his crate if he has something he knows he shouldn't have. Anything lost can be found here. He looks guilty! Haha! In fact, I see my green sock on the right in there. That rotten dog.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Thank you so much for the rag rug link. I have been dying to find a way to make a rag rug w/out knowing how to crochet. This is perfect!

Love how children interpret their parents in drawing! Yep, I see a little of Pat there too. ;)

Ralphie is a cutie!

Speaking of family portraits, Leah drew a picture of her family at school yesterday that included Moe. Welcome to the family!
