The 58 cent rag rug

This is the beginning of a braided rag rug. I'm loosely following the directions in Handmade Home.

I am using a red calico tablecloth(?) and a light blue sheet-both of which I bought from the 29 cent rack at Goodwill. (Housewares are 15 cents and textiles are 29 cents, after about a month of not selling.)

I love the idea of making something out of nothing!

Wish me luck! I'm sure I'll need it.☺

Unbelievable -- you are creating so many neat things out of nothing. I love it. I'll be your cheerleader with this one. It looks like it's going to be beautiful.

Very Pretty!! You need to set up a little display at Goodwill to show all the things you make for practically no money. I already took my beach blankets in and showed them what you made and they were very impressed. You could even start classes.

Oh Holly-I love it! I can't wait until you get the rug together. You are so talented!!! I agree with Dawnie-you need to be the spokeswoman for Goodwill!
