WOYWW #519

on
Hello Fellow Deskers,

Sorry I've been AWOL for so long I can't even remember how many weeks, but I'm looking forward to catching up with some of you over the next couple of days. I know there's a big WOYWW 10th Anniversary celebration coming up - I SO wish I could make it and meet you all in person, but I will have to content myself with watching from the wings.

The sun's been shining today, so I've been crafting in the garden - my current obsession is turning old T-shirts into rag rugs ...


Those balls of "yarn" were made from T-shirts I had for years, worn them to the point where it would have been embarrassing to take them to the charity shop, but this way I get to turn them into something useful AND I'm not really letting these old friends go :o)

I'll be back after work to link up over at Julia's and have a snout around to see what everyone else has been up to this week - see you there!

Love Annie xxx

You always have the best upcycling projects, Annie! I would have never thought that rug was made from old T-shirts! Lovely colours too! Were you tempted to cut up a good T-shirt just to get the right colour LOL?

Gosh I can remember mum making rag rugs all those years ago - some crafts stick around for a long time. Looking at what you are doing with your t-shirts I am tempted to think that it would make a lovely shopping bag. You could go any size. Or would it be too thick?

I'm not sure you can call that a RAG rug, Annie. That is a lovely rug and great recycling project, too. Happy WOYWW from #2.

I remember my Mother making rag rugs like this about 50 years ago, so everything old is new ago. Your colours are gorgeous together and what a great way to decrease what goes into land fill.

Glad to see your upcycling project. I was thinking of doing something in black and white, like that black and white check you like to draw around your pages. Just wondered if you had ever upcycled something like home decor. I'm getting into farmhouse decor. I'm not sure you have something comparable over in England, but there are lots of videos on YouTube about farmhouse decor here in the states.
Oh, and my son purchased a couple of books for me for my birthday. One of them, I'm going to feature on a video soon. Thanks for sharing your blog. You'll have to hop over to my craft blog one of these days and say howdy too!
