Update on the living room rug

After crocheting for a couple of weeks, I felt like doing some other needlework. So, after a long time I picked up working on the living room rug. 
After all, the bedroom rug already has one :')

I haven't done a blog about this rug since April 2019 😮 This is how much I'd done back then;

April 5th 2019

Apparently I did make some progress since then, because this is how it looks at the moment:

The finished rug will have a total of 54 (6 x 9) octagons.

The living room rug - April

It's been awhile since my last blog. I haven't been able to work on miniatures for a couple of weeks so I thought I start motivating myself by showing the progress I've made on the rug for the living room. The progress I've made was mainly done in the beginninh of March; I haven't done any cross stitching since then :')
Still the differece is visible and makes me want to continue ;)

More octagons being filled

The living room rug - February

A month ago, well five weeks to be exact, I started cross stitching a rug for the living room.
Even though I've worked on a lot of other miniatures as well, I've made some progress I'd like to share :)
If only to keep me motivated to keep going so I can post an update next month ;)

This was on Januari 16th
(4 days after I started ^^)

A bunch of things

Life has been so chaotic this last month that I've spend nearly as much time in the mini world as I would have liked.
But still, I've managed to work on some crafts, so I thought I just squeezed it all in one blog (a) Maybe that way I can finally get back to the cottage ghe ghe

After I'd made the Hogwarts trunk I had some fun with these marbles from De Knikkerprins (word play on the frog prince) and made some fisherman floats.
 

Then I started making cushions, which turned out to be a new addiction ^^
First I made some Halloween themed cushions for my Etsy store. To my surprise they were sold within 48 hours o.O
 

  

  

I started making a dress for Sophie from the Quill shop ...
 

... but got distracted by the mold I'd bought at Georgia Marfels' at the fair in Rijswijk. So I had an enjoyable afternoon making Gingerbread Man Cookies ;)

Being in the Christmas mood by then I made some cute Santa cushions, on even finer embroidery mesh, which are in my Etsy store since yesterday.

Switching back to Halloween, I've made  a smoked filled globe with spider. Total length 8 cm.
It's based on this 1:1 tutorial.
 

And last but not least; we've had two afternoons with our crafts group. We started a macrame cushion the first time, and worked on walls and window last wednesday. I finished the walls the next days on my own. The next time we will work on something new for this roombox together.
