100th Post! Freebie and New Chairpads

I decided in honor of my 100th post, to offer my new bunny pattern that I made up. You can see the finished piece if you scroll down. I thought it was better to give away one item that everyone can enjoy, instead of one person winning a prize. You can punch it, hook it or make a penny out of it. Whatever medium that you like to do, you can use it for. You can also sell the item you make, as long as you do not mass produce it.



I have been sick with the horrible cold going around. Luckily I saw it coming and took cillin in time, so I avoided the bronchitis my husband got, but it does knock you down a bit. Since I have been sitting on my butt resting, I had to have something easy to do, lol. I cannot just sit;) So, I decided it was time to make some chair pads.

I have lots of scrap wool and this is a great way to use it up. I made three pads for the chairs at the table and the two against the wall, I will leave hooked pieces on. I have one braided rug, I did years ago and I have to admit, that has held up the longest. I think I might make one braided runner for my hallways. The first one I did was rag style and it was too bumpy and thin to work as a rug. My border collie needs rugs he can run across, so one braid and the long runner I am hooking, should help his slipping problem.

    Thank you for the free doodle...love how your punched one turned out.
    You are one talented gal...the braided chair pads are awesome. Wish I knew how to do them I'd make me up a few! Maybe one day I'll give it a try.
    Congrats on your 100th post. Have a blessed week.

    Thanks so much for the free pattern - it's darling and I can't wait to work it up! Love your braided chair pads! I braided a large rug several years ago, and believe it or not it is made of polyester double knit fabric! It's held up wonderfully! This was in the day before my rug hooking started.

    Thanks everyone. The pads really are comfy, I made sure of that;) I did a regular rug braid instead of a smaller version, so they would be nice and plump to sit on. They are more prim in real, the camera really pops out the colors in the plaids.
