This week I've been staying close to home and relishing in cleaning out, getting rid of, and finishing projects in preparation for something new. I'm soooooo pleased that hedge apple rug is finally done!
I've had more fun with this rug than any I've done in quite awhile. I really wanted to put this one to bed because I'm starting Deanne Fitzpatrick's on line class next week. I'm very excited to take a class from Deanne, and hoping that her wonderful instruction will help me on my hooking journey to being more free with my designs, textures, and colors.
I'm still having fun digging into old linens and making them new and happy again. This is a set of Ralph Lauren pillow cases I found in a sale bin and bought ages ago. They don't really go with a thing (which never keeps me from using things I love in my home), but they've now reached that lovely texture of softness and fray. I blanket stitched the edges and corners to keep them whole.
Really, I'm serious when I say that this is so much more gratifying than buying something new! I've got two more sets I plan on spiffing up, and a top sheet. Such winter fun!
Speaking of fun....... Had coffee with gal pal Jessy from Luvvly Jubbly the other day. If you haven't checked out her blog..... Please check in regularly! She has so MANY wonderful ideas to make new from old, and she posts all the time. She made these DARLING fiber bracelets for me!
I've been wearing at least one of them everyday. Love wearing them with my knitted heart rings!
Wishing you a most lovely and cozy weekend........

Really love how the hedge apple rug turned out! On a nice day you should photograph it draped across your car! That green color is wonderful and I seem to see it more and more in things that catch my eye. Keep havin' fiber fun while we count down the days until Spring! Amy
