Last Minute Gift ~


Here is the footstool I purchased not long ago.  So happy I did because I need a birthday present for my brother's DSO ~ fast.  I was cross stitching that mermaid piece, but put it down in disgust weeks ago.  


This is the little mat I hooked for the top.  Once I chose the colors (agonized and changed my mind countless times ~ it should NOT be that difficult) it hooked up quickly. 


Of course, binding still must be done :(  Then it's on to finish the Tree of Life.  I have been working on that, too, and it is nearing completion.

I received many comments on my last post from no reply-comment bloggers.  Just want you to know I appreciated them but cannot respond to you.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Wow, that is a great gift!! LOVE the color choices. I don't drink wine, but heard that you could use jelly beans the same way. I ate about a half cup before I decided all was good. LOL

Love the little bench and the rug you hooked for it. I hope you explain how you attach the piece to the bench. I'd have no clue how to go about it!

That little bench is adorable, Lauren! And your hooked mat will look so good on it! My evening check is not wine but Vodka and Cranberry juice....can't smell the Vodka, but I sure can taste it....and feel it!!

Lovely little bench and what a nice little rug you made for it. I hope you have a wonderful week. I think I will finally order that rug I have wanted to make for so long, It will be so nice to have a giant project for awhile,
Have a great Monday.

You are in the groove and keep going. A lovely gift made perfect with your sweet hand hooked rug. I love it and I always like the colors you choose.

Take care and keep on hooking. It's in your blood.

That is a wonderful stool to make a rug for and the rug is perfect for it, she is going to love it.
Today my thought was, I am old and only have so many years to live, the kids who are causing problems and hogging the beaches, have plenty of time to enjoy life, I think beaches should be reserved for us old people, haha.

Perfect cover for a fantastic little stool that I would never give up.

I LOVE the footstool topper! How will you attach it? I’ve been known to nail them on, hiding the nail heads between loops. I’d love to learn another way.

Jennie in GA said...

Love both the stool and the cute mat....perfect. I want to know if and how you will attach it.

Hi everyone. I saw comments from people who already got their loan from challot and then I decided to apply under their recommendations and just few hours ago I confirmed in my own personal bank account a total amount of $30,000 which I requested for. This is really a great news and I am advising everyone who needs real loan to apply through their email (challotloan@gmail.com) I am happy now that i have gotten the loan I requested
