Do you ever threaten your kids with, “If you don’t pick your clothes up off the floor I’m giving them away…”?
Well I followed through on my word and gathered up her clothes and at least made it appear I was serious… granted the ones I “disposed of” were stained or too small… but at least I looked serious!
And we continue to work on responsibility, good stewardship, tidiness, etc…
Here is a really good rag rug idea that uses no hooks or needles.
On these long cold winter nights this would be a great project, even for the kids!

My friend Lori pointed me to this project, I LOVE IT!
If you want to get your kids really interested in being industrious make it fun!

HERE are some rag rugs I’ve made in the past along with some tutorials.

I wasn’t able to work on any fiber arts last week, but I am hoping to get some baby gifts made up this week and record a sewing tutorial for them…Lord willing.
I love rag rugs. There are a few different ways to make them and you can make them from almost anything. I don’t know about your house, but we go through throw rugs like crazy! No one here takes off their shoes when they come in and because our family works and schools from home it is constant traffic in and out! Do you hear frustration in my voice? ;o) This is why making rag rugs is a good solution for me. Placing a throw rug outside and inside the door catches a lot of dirt.
Now that I am a little older ;o) and I know how to crochet for example, I can do it to relax, it's not a strain on my brain, it's more like a second nature. My family will tell you I never sit down to watch a movie with them unless I have something in my hands to work on. I find so much satisfaction in creating something. When I give something I have made to someone and they love it, to me that is worth more than what money can buy!
