People who see me making them either wonder why when I could buy a rug at a dollar store or gush about handmade rugs selling for hundreds. I just make them 'cause it's fun and they feel good underfoot!<brLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597337665712345454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-70102997627237447102012-02-26T13:53:45.645-05:002012-02-26T13:53:45.645-05:00That's friggin awesome.
