I have been missing in action I know, but I have been busy! I know that some of you can relate, but sometimes you just have to check out from the computer to get things done.  I have lots of projects that are almost done and I am trying to get them all finished up.

 I have been making some penny rugs for a little change of pace. I have really been enjoying the creating and stitching part of them. The one below is made from an old wool blanket.  I love making penny rugs in Americana colors.
