Another little rug completed

I was just finishing up one of my latest little rugs, when the waitress at the restaurant where Pop hangs out and socializes quite often,said she would love to have one of my crocheted rugs.She collects lots of old furnishings for her home and I suppose she thought this type of rug would fit right in.I am not into the Primitive decorating per se,as I have said before, but I think my little rugs would definitely fit in that decor. Probably more so, if I had used drab colors, which I did not. I had lots of cranberry fabric, and since it is one of my favorites, that's what I was using.Nevertheless, I finished the rug, and procceeded to make a little tag to attach to the rug. I love making the tags as much as the rugs.When my sister Vicki was here for a few days, we dabbled with a few ideas on Primitive crafts. I used one of her ideas on my tag. I was so pleased with it, I will most likely use it many more times. It was simple and it uses up tiny bits and pieces of fabric.That helps me to move out some of the clutter in my craft room.. I do enjoy making the tags.

Donna was so pleased with her little rug. She says she will cherish it forever. I know I do mine.I have 3 that I have made and kept for myself and I adore them.

My Little Rug

One full sheet and one half of a valance later,it's finally finished. I think I like it better than the other two I have made for myself.It matches my decor much better.Now on to another project.

Sometimes Change Requires Sacrifices

The change that I speak of, is the color I am using in my decorating. I have gone through the peach stage, which I was in, what seems like, forever. It became a thing with Pop,telling everyone that if something was peach, I would buy it.That did seem to be true for many years.I even had those ruffly curtains made for my home,back when they were the IN thing.That was many years ago, when we were still living the original, single wide mobile home that was on the property when Pop purchased the land in 1978.

Pictured here is Pop,on the far left,his daughter,Carmen,Jerry Hackleback,a good friend of Pop's who has since passed on, and the boy Carmen was engaged to for five years, but ended up breaking up with.

Nevertheless, I had been in the mauve stage,until lately. Now I am in the cranberry/green stage.That brings me to the resaon for this post. I have these two little crocheted rugs that I adore. Of all the rugs I have made over the years, I have given them all away,but these two.

They have served me well, but now I have decided to crochet myself one in cranberry. The only piece of fabric I could find,without purchasing  a piece,was a cranberry flat sheet which was part of a set of bed linens.I have so many bed linens, it did not hurt so bad to use it,so I have ripped it up into narrow strips and am making my new rug. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I know I will adore it just as much, if not more than my two other favorites.
