(I still can’t quite believe this is actually happening.) These are some of the rugs I wove for my family over the holiday break. I’ll be teaching a rug workshop this spring in my new West Michigan studio. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, I just listed two more rug looms for sale in my shop. (Link in profile.)

CraftSanity Rug Looms are available in my shop for those who want to weave rugs for their cats, too. (Link in profile.) Have a cozy day, folks. . . . . #JustineTheCat #catlady #cat #cats #craftsanityloom #rug #craftsanitylooms #weave #weaving #weaver #fiberart #homedecor #handwoven
