| OK, WHO put water in the tub??? |
Pip kitty loves the claw foot bathtub that I have upstairs. He happily jumps in it when I am up there. This Easter we had family visiting and Pip had a surprise. He jumped in the bathtub and got his feet a bit wet!

A photograph has been selected for my next rug. The photo was first enlarged on my computer to poster size. I use grayscale print and I also used the erase feature around the background so that there would not be an excess of black toner used. There are some programs that have a "coloring book" feature and that is indeed ideal. Taking it to be enlarged is another option. That for me is an hour away and this time I choose to do it myself. Everything is taped together and taped down. I find the center and mark it on the pattern and the foundation material. Using the suggestions of the Rug Hookers list on Yahoo, I purchased the material (Sediment Shield) at Lowes to transfer the pattern. In this store it came in 30 foot roll. ( Let me know if you need some :O) Today I need to look at the photograph a bit and complete the transfer on to rug warp. The size has been selected, the added 4 inches around the foundation material added.
The line you see is paper protecting the draft board from my markers!
May each of you have a safe week, may the wind and storms miss you completely, may the water stay out of your basements and your roof stay on your homes.
Happy rug making!
