My youngest daughter is going to accomplish this because she started her gifts for her grandparents in August. She loves to cross stitch and crochet so she’s just been working a small bit each week to get her gifts done. I won’t post photos that would ruin any surprises for relatives!
One thing I have been doing is saving our old blue jeans so that I can make some rugs in the near future. Here an toothbrush rug I made about a year ago.
I know the name sounds strange but it is fairly simple. When I start I will do some step by step pictures. I didn’t know about blogging when I did this rug—so I didn’t know to take pictures!
Here is a website that I have been at that has some tutorials & links to blogs about rug making.
[I've started a new rug! If you'd like to see the instructions go on over to Making a Rag Rug.]
I stopped in at the Good Will yesterday to look for some shirts but I walked out with a set of sheets in blue/greens & some fabric for $4 that I think will make a perfect rug for my girls room that is lime green sherbet color.
I’m ready to start some projects so that I can stay indoors! What are you working on?

I have always wanted to make a rag rug and someday I will; I look forward to seeing your step by step instructions. Currently I am making a rag bowl and when I finally finish it I will post a tutorial. It always takes me so long to make things, between work and as you "day to day" living.

Brenda--the bowl sounds neat--what will you use it for? I totally understand the day to day stuff getting in the way!--Kim
