My little projects from the lunch with MaryJane Butters ~

Here's what I've accomplished with my rag rug.
Girls. This is just TOO MUCH FUN! And how precious is this turning out??
My sweet neighbor at my table, Teddy had such a complementary fabric to my pink fabric that we traded some strips and look at how they look together.



Pages from MaryJanes Stitching Room Book telling all about rag rugs . . .

My tatting! Just three little loops!

I would love to be able to make this wonderful tatted necklace with vintage buttons. The photo below is from MaryJane's Stitching Room by MaryJane Butters

Your tatting is lovely! (I'm a shuttle tatter, but the result is just so pretty no matter which way you do it.) And I have an in-progress crocheted rag rug that looks like yours. I feel so "thrifty" using up old fabric this way!

The necklace is my favorite project in the book, but I also liked the simplicity of the pincushions made out of old tin molds too. It's a lovely book!

I wish I had a pretty little blog like this one , but all I do is complain 'cause that's what my boring life is all about. Things to complain about and nothing to do.
Anyway all sunshine and smiles.
In everything turn turn turn
there is a season turn turn turn
And a time for every purpose...
I didn't know that was from the bible.
flowers like lilies and lavenders none too dramatic
none too red
