The Rag Rug Closet
Nancy discovered about a year ago that she could make rag rugs and these rugs would be so unique you wouldn't be able to find them anywhere else. She even thought it would be cool to make pet place mats. Where else are you going to find a place mat for your pet? People comment continually that these rag rugs remind them of the ones that their grandmother use to make. Only Nancy's are more colorful! This was her goal when she starting making these rag rugs. She also make beautiful wreaths occasionally when the whim comes along.
