I love this recycled fabric rug. I am so quick to give my old clothes to goodwill but now I know what I can do with my maternity shirts when I no longer need them! I wonder how long this took. FOREVER?! Those colors are the best and it's the closest I've seen to a DIY rug that I'd actually use in my home.
This little craft has been popping up lately and intimidates me slightly. I've heard it involves paper piecing and being precise. Two things that don't come easily to me. However, I love the hexagon shapes and it would be yet another way to not only use up some favorite fabric scraps, but add a little customization to a plain tee.
Now that I know how to knit again, I think I might use up some leftover skeins to make one of these. I love her color palette and the simplicity of the pattern. And that sleeping baby is pretty adorable.
What is on your 'TO MAKE' list?

hi! wow! thanks for posting about my hex tee!! a very good friend of mine just skyped me about this post! i love my tee very much and after a wash the teeny hexes got all wrinkly...so it's like wearing a mini quilt. it's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. making hexes is addicting and totally a TV craft.

Love that knitted blanket with the baby....when you knit those square/rectangles are you keeping them seperated until you have enough to piece together and then using the matressing method?
