Finished Projects

I really did finish these projects within the deadline I set for myself. I just didn't make a post to tell you all about it until now. I am very pleased with the way the blanket and matching baby doll blanket turned out and A was thrilled to finally have her blanket finished.

I have mixed feelings about my very first Rag Rug. I like the colors fine, I think that they look okay together. I enjoyed working on this rug and will probably do more in the future. The thing I don't like about it is where one round ended and the next started. I don't like how you can see where the changes were. I wish it were less noticeable. If anyone has any suggestions or a set pattern they would like to share I would appreciate it.

Round Rag Rug and other WIP'S

I was looking at some other crafty blogs and found The Royal Sisters blog.

This picture of this beautiful rag rug caught my eye so I wanted to give it a try.

I first needed to find some old sheets. I really wish I had decided to do this project before I cleaned out my linen closet. But I was able to find a few sheets and an old curtain. So this is how mine started. . .

and a few rounds later, this is what I have so far.

I will post more pictures when I actually finish it. I am hoping that I will get it done within the next week.
Another project that I have been working on (or not working on, as it seems) is A's blanket.

I have been busy with moving and making dishcloths and other things that this blanket is not getting the attention that it deserves. I am making a goal of having it done in the next two weeks. I think A has waited far too long for her blanket and it will come in very handy with the weather getting so much cooler.
