Violet, Holly, and Dakota

This is Violet-named for the purple she contains.  This rug is for my niece Jess.  She asked me make her a rug in purple, green, and blue and so I did.  I think she's going to like her-she's even prettier in real life.  Now, the question is-do I give it to her now, or wait till Christmas?  I'll probably just give it to her now.  Violet's made with thrifted t-shirts and some thrifted polyester fabric.

Oh, lookie!  I found another Christmas decoration.  My sister got me this hand painted (I can tell) sign a few years ago.  I think she even got it at Goodwill.  Is that right, Jodie?  I found it in my bedroom on the floor, tucked between my hope chest and the wall.  Now-it's in my living room.

Oh-I got a visitor for a little bit on Saturday.  Yep-Dakota came for a little visit!  Oh. my. word.  What a beautiful, little, fluffy puffball! He has WHITE eyelashes!  Have you ever seen anything so cute in your life???  He is precious!

I hope everybody has a good day!

Primrose

This is Primrose. Yes-I've been reading The Hunger Games series. (There is a girl named Primrose in these books.) Since primroses come in shades of purples, I thought it could be a good name for this rug.

 Primrose is similar to Violet.

Primrose is made from a thrifted sheet, some thrifted polyester, and some thrifted t-shirts.

Have a great day!
