He likes it!

I have working on making a craft rug out of scrap material (old t-shirts and such) in an effort to quit smoking. Trying to keep my hands busy! Well it seems that Chuck likes it! This is one of the rare moments that is he not trying to lay entirely on the fluffy finished part!

[aki]

Here he is complaining because I took his pic! Meowmie, stop it with the flashy thing. I am trying to sleep!

What a cool rug! Keep up the good work -- of making the rug and no smoking!

Of course you also have the best helper right there with you.

That rug is neat! Chuck is so cute.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

Awww, he's such a cute little helper.

That's a neat rug. Is it hard to make?

[aki]

No, I am just cutting the fabric in skinny strips and attaching it with a latch hook tool. I really like how the cotton t-shirts feel when they are done. Really soft and no lint.

Everything old,is new again,as My Dwear Moyther,never threw anything,out,and she,made sheets,first,for us,then for her people,on the Meals,on Wheels!

I agree Gary! Might as well recycle if you can. I have a feeling I have lost custody of my project before it is even done! LOL

Aren't they great helpers!!!

Brodie likes to help me with crafty projects too.

That is a neat rug! Will we get to see the finished product?



BTW, good luck with your effort to stop smoking! It's the best thing you could do for yourself!!!

[aki]

Sure Christa! It might be a while at this pace! LOL I love my helper to pieces! He always want to lie exactly where I am working! Don't they always?

It is already kitty approved and I bet he thinks you are maiking it for him.

At first, I was so busy looking at the rug, it is AWESOME but so is the kitty that loves it..

What an adorable cat!


Wow, that IS a cool rug! and it's really pretty, too! I bet it's really soft and probably washable,also.

oohhh, now you got me thinking, I have a TON of soft old t-shirts.....

What a super idea! We have tons of old t-shirts from the kids! Where did you find that special fabric? At a "hobby-store"??

I got the rug backing at Michaels craft store. It already had the squares on it already so I have been just going by that.

Thanks for the compliments! I like how it is turning out and I think Chuck does too! LOL
