Well - Hello again! It's been a year since I was last here and I have absolutely no idea where all that time has gone or what I've been doing that has prevented me finding time to update my blog.
Promise from now on I will try harder.
One thing I have been busy doing is creating 'Toothbrush Rugs' by re-using old cotton materials such as pillow cases and bed sheets. This is the first one I made, using a tartan design duvet cover. The toothbrush bit is that you use an old toothbrush (minus the head) as the sewing needle. A bit fiddly to start with, and your wrist starts to ache after the first hour or so, but there's no limit to the size of rug you can create.
For my 'Seashore Rug', I've taken my inspiration from the beautiful stretch of coast I live near, and have used a colour palette of blues, greens and yellows.
I've also got several more rugs on the go, as using only old sheets and materiel found in charity shops and car boot sales, means that you sometimes have to wait quite a while before finding the ideal colours needed to complete a rug.
