After weeks of looking at a rug that I had made for the nursery, I finally sat and weaved in the ends. I had hoped the fairies would come along and do it for me but they are obviously busy elsewhere.
I backed it with a rug liner to stop the slipping. I won't know how effective that is until one of the little people come to stay (I mean one of my Grandchildren not one of the fairies!)
I had started a blanket for a new arrival but was not happy with it so that has been pulled.
I then went on to a striped blanket, which I am a whole lot happier with.
It is a simple project that I can pop in my bag and take anywhere, so once I am feeling a whole lot better it will be a project I do alongside something else. I am looking for a baby shawl pattern but as yet have not found one that appeals, any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteI've had days like that too where I don't much feel like doing anything. Sorry you're not feeling well. Your blanket is turning out nice. I like projects like that that are soothing and can be easily thrown in a bag. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly sweet little room! And I love making stripy blankets -- something so soothing and satisfying them.

gorgeous rug! I've never made one before, but yours makes me want to do it. Lovely. I hope you are feeling better now or at least seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully no one else will catch it!
ReplyDeleteLove the rug! I will have to try one this winter when I need something to keep me warm! Love the colors in the blanket!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are under the weather! The rug and the blanket are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour rug looks great, and I really like the colours of your blanket. Lets hope that the fairies come and sew your next lot of ends in instead! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the rug and the blanket. I know what you mean about tying the ends in though!
ReplyDeleteI have been wishing for a new rug in our nursery and I don't know why I never thought to make on myself! Yours is very sweet! The blanket is also lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour rug is gorgeous, it looks so cosy in the room :)
ReplyDeleteI sure like your rug--and I really like the little room you have all ready for your Grands! I wish I had space to do that for my little Grand Girls. I have never visited you before, so I stayed awhile and really enjoyed my visit here! :)

The rug is really lovely. I think you'll find those rug gripping mats will do the job. Unlike those darn fairies! Where are they when you need them most! xx
ReplyDeletethe fairies have not been here either, I really need them. gorgeous rug and I love the rocking horse so cute.
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon
I love the color combination with your project - it's awesome!

Your rug looks great - it really finishes the room. I wish fairies did exist to weave in ends- it's a pain, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better x
