....another ball of rag yarn has been made. Took 2 tops and a pairs of shorts to make one small ball but my back couldn't take anymore sitting on the floor and cutting- I would soooo love a craft room where I can have a nice big table and comfy chair and not have to hide all my craft stuff!!
Anyway back to the corchet of the rug today and hopefully I can make it a big bigger than 18 inches!!

Planning ahead
My lovely husband and I are going to be making lots of things once the stuff for the house is made, we won't just stop our hobby.
So....Unless we want a house full of rag rugs, decorated tin cans and vinyl we need to move them on, so will be looking at selling them for peanuts, or giving them away...
But we need to come up with more recycled crafts as this is far more satisfying see ing something come out of 'junk' than making something from new. Plus it's cheaper materials too!

Rag rug number 2 is well on the way...
Started the girl's rag rug today, I am doing my first ever circle crochet and so far so good, took quite sometime to make up enough rag 'yarn' to get started and I still have oodles more to cut up. I am using so many different fabrics from T-shirt material to faux leather so hopefully will look ok once done, this is going to be a lot bigger than the grey/black oval one I did so may take some time, will do a picture once it is bigger than a few inches!

Our animals
Kai the RottxGSD was our first dog and she is now 7 yrs old, Daisy the Brindle Staffy was due to be PTS last year as a 10 mth old pup because basically there was no room at the inn, so to speak so we took her to our home instead. And maggie the white and brindle staffy pup is the latest addition, she was rescued by someone else and we have given her a permanent home here.
There is also our rescued reptiles the Boa- Aurora and Plated lizard- Homer.
