I'm hooked on rugs! I just finished a rag rug. I had started it a while ago and then put it aside. Well, I'm finding this time off is good for getting things done. The rug is crocheted using fabric strips and a large hook. It's very easy and relaxing. I finished this one today and it now has a home in front of my treadle sewing machine. If you're interested in these rag rugs check out http://www.rags-to-rugs.com/ . They have kits you can buy, all you need are your scissors.
And, I'm also working on another penny rug. This one is larger than the last few I've made. I love working with these. Very portable, not a lot of supplies to carry with you. and they work up fast. The picture is of a few I have started for my latest rug. I can't wait to get it done. They are just awesome!
Our weather here was in the 70's today, a bit windy. But still nice. the weather man says rain tonight and tomorrow could be severe weather. Let's hope it's not too severe. My flowers could use a drink, so rain would be welcome. But not the winds and hail they say might come with it.
My day was busy with making sure everything is done here in case I get the call to go back to work. Thinking it won't be too long. And, I'm ready at a moments notice. Well, almost, lol. My bags are packed and centrally located for easy access, lol.
What's on your craft table? Be sure to leave me a comment, I love to know what everyone is working on. I love comments!! I'll be visiting your blogs and leaving comments here and there. Hope you had a good day and the rest of your week will be a good one.
Hugs,
Bren

Hi Bren,
I love making penny rugs too. I just love working with felted wool.
I've made a few of the crocheted rugs but I need more practice. I need to check out that site. I would love to make some round one's for chair pads for my kitchen chairs.
Have a great evening.

Your rag rugs look great, thanks for showing the world! Might one day make one myself and turn it into an Area Rug.
