Rag Rug!!!

Soo, I completed one project...at least for now, I think I will go back later and add to it, but we'll just call it good for now. It's a rag rug made out of an old sheet. I had this california king size red fitted sheet on my bed, and it ended up with a MASSIVE hole in it from my dogs...go figure. I didn't wanna throw it out, what good is it then? So I decided that I would turn the sheet into "yarn" and crochet a rug.

First I cut all of the elastic off the edge and then ripped the corner seams so I had one oddly shaped rectangle. Then I made little cuts every inch and tore the sheet into big ole strips. I joined the strips together and ended up with a giant ball, that looks like this....

I grabbed a size N (9mm) crochet hook and got to work. And a few hours later I have this handy dandy little rug. Eventually I'll be adding a border to it...probably in cream if I can find a cheap cream sheet at the Goodwill or something.

Thanks for checkin in, hope you enjoyed it!!



Hello World!

Ok, so....obviously this is my first post.

I should probably give you an idea of what I'm all about...I work at Michael's Arts and Crafts, and that's both awesome and dangerous at the same time. I love to craft. I am always trying to find new ways to upcycle old crap I have lying around. Why throw something out when you can turn it into something fabulous, or purposeful?

I've been procrastinating for a while about starting up my blog, so here I am, finally doing it. I have a few projects going on right now and as soon as I finish them I will be posting pix, and possibly some tutorials. And eventually I get my ass in gear and post some of the stuff I have already done. So, for now, I will just have to work my little hands off. So, thanks for checkin in!

Love. Peace. DIY.
