It came from Habitat and I had lusted over it for quite some time, well since I was promised a new rug for our lounge at christmas time. I couldn't decide on it for a while because it was little on the expensive side, but after too many evenings of lying on the cold floorboards in an attempt to get comfortable we finally decided to get it. Johnny even had to carry it the whole way home for me!
Here is a picture of it in situ, although the light in our lounge really is terrible...
And to prove that I didn't spend all day admiring my new rug here are some pictures of the little embroidery sampler you can see down there...
I've just been playing around with different types of stitches, as all I ever seem to do it the regular old back stitch, and as I have a whole book full of different types I thought I'd give it a go.
Happy Weekend xxx

That rug is fabulous! A work of art in itself. And your sampler is lookin good...it's always fun to try some new stitches...
ReplyDeleteI love looking at other people's practice stitches. Don't know why! But yours are very pretty, thanks for sharing.
