Much Improvement ~



Great progress has been made in the living room.  (Oops.  Vacuum cleaner is in the picture.)  All but a couple boxes have been hauled to the attic.  Swags still need to be hung on the cupboards.  I was going to change the bows but decided not to.  The last major hurdle is the big tree.  Tomorrow I am going to play so hopefully Sunday is the day :)
 
 
The paw print mat is ready to be bound.  With three rows of black (thanks for letting me know it was needed), the finished size is about 13" in diameter.
 
 
If I'm going to get more gifts made for Christmas, I'd better get busy!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

Wow, you're a miracle worker! It looks all shiny, bright and festive. Nice mat and I'll send a couple suggestions for other quick gifts in a personal email.

Your livingroom looks so festive and inviting and your paw print rug is beautiful. The black border really frame it well.

Such a beautiful room. So inviting. This is the kind of room that you spend time in because this is where you keep your favorite things.

And the paw rug is perfect!
