today's undertaking

it's been awhile since i've crafted anything... but birthdays will spur me into action! i was a wee bit worried my un-crafty spell would never end. apparently long bouts between crafts leads to over-exertion and over-enthusiasm once you start again. i forgot how obsessive and anal i get about making things.

anyways, inspired by this Instructable, i decided to make a shag rug for matt's 23rd birthday.

i used flannel instead of t-shirt material... cutting strips is such a pain! i've got blisters on my fingers...


one day later and halfway done!


the finished product. does it look like plaid, or did i fail?


soft on the toes!



i hope he likes it. my back hurts. ouchie!
