My New Carpet

I love it when my daughters ask me 
'What would you like for Christmas?'


I knew exactly what and where to get it from...
This beautiful carpet was on my mind for a long time
and Global Village was the place! 


The carpet is handmade, cross stitched with wool.
I am so happy with it.
Thank you girls!


Today I finished making these 
chair pad covers for my dining chairs.
I seldom make things for me to keep,
these are staying!


My new carpet is for my living room
but the lighting there is bad, so I 
drag all my items to the bedroom where the 
light is perfect for pictures.


I love my new romantic chair pads..


Happy Holidays!

  6. Would have to agree with everyone else – the carpet’s amazing! Can’t believe it’s cross-stitched! :D It’s a great addition to your house. Don’t forget to immediately wash it if it gets spilled on so the stain won’t stick. It’ll be harder to remove it if that happens.

  7. I agree with Lyda! Can’t also believe that the carpet’s hand-stitched. :D It just looks so great! Good tips on carpet cleaning too. :D
