Makeover Monday: 7/19

Yes, you've come to the right blog. I know these aren't colors that you typically see me work with. Just another reason I love custom orders- it helps me break out of my rosey rut!

This will be a two (or more?) part makeover, as this is all I have completed on this project so far. When it is finished, it will be an oval rag rug for a contemporary bathroom- measuring 48" long and 30" wide. Stay tuned for more progress!

Happy Monday! What's going on in your world these days? This week I am looking forward to getting lots of new goodies listed in both shops. I am hard at work designing the 2010 sosorosey Christmas ornaments, too. Now that the dreaded dentist visit is over, I am full of relief. Have to get an oil change and a foot check up this week. Hoping to get the all clear to go to the American Idol concert boot-less on Friday. Wahooooo- Lee, here I come!!

Wow--that's a good sized rag rug. How do you keep your stitches so small/tight when crocheting with fabric? I feel that my recent rag rug is kinda hole-y. Stitches are not loose, just very open. I used a P hook. Curious how you achieve your look.

Victoria- I think the look I get with my rugs is a result of cutting the fabric VERY wide (like 3 inches, give or take- depending on the thickness of the material). I use a very large hook, and keep the tension tight. Loose rugs have a very pretty look, too- I am going to let go of my need for "tight" one day and give it a try :)
