homemade rug

Millie and I kept ourselves busy yesterday making this t-shirt rug.  We used one of our hoola-hoops and the directions we found here.

 Our cousin Kimber started us off.  She's quite the pro.  After she left, Mill and I kept at it and only had to re-do a couple of parts.  Luckily we caught them early and didn't have to unravel more than one layer.  While we weaved, we watched Rachel's favorite movie, "Horses."  Its a documentary and she LOVES it.  She affectionately calls it "Blackie" in honor of her favorite black horse in the movie.

Back to the rug.  Kimber will be happy to know that the rug went to a neighbor who needed a pick-me-up.  We didn't realize it either until we had been talking for a while and realized the spirit had guided us to her house.  I love how the Spirit will take our simple efforts and transform them into blessings.  We didn't even know we wanted to give the rug away until after it was made.  We used our desire to create, and made a rug.  We listened to quiet promptings, we might not have even recognized as such, and gave the rug away.  God used our offering to bless someone else.  That is what I call "God's Orchestration."  Its always a privilege to be an instrument in His hands.
