I have a new obsession, known as the art of Australian Locker Rug Hooking. I saw my aunt Jackie creating a neat rug last summer while I was camping with her, and it peaked my interest, and so the obsession began. It is made of scrap fabric cut into one inch strips, and then with a special tool, it is woven through a gridded canvas. I have made wonderful scrappy rugs, and this is my favorite patterned rug I made for my niece Madison. As you can see I stamped her name in the middle and made her a treasure that I hope she will cherish for a long time. Madison is very special to me because she is my first niece and she holds a very special place in my heart, and so on Valentine's day I wanted to give her something special and so this is what I made! She calls it her "isty" short for "Cristy" and she dances on it and carries it around with her where- ever she goes. This is a photo of her dancing on her new rug!

Oh my gosh...that is so cute! (The kid's kinda cute too :)
Did it take you very long to make it?
I'm always looking for another hobby that I can buy all the supplies for and never have time to do :)
Thanx Rikki, the rug took me about 2 weeks to make, but I spent a lot of time working on it so it would be done in time for Valentine's Day, but it's really fun and relaxing, you should consider it :)
That is a great rug. I should have you make one for my maddie. I wish I was as handy as you on that kind of stuff. That is so adorable.
