Rag Rugs

Its been a winter wonderland here in Ryedale for the last few days. Extra food for all the animals and making sure they all have shelter at night and the never ending problem of ensuring they all have unfrozen water. Especially the chickens who have starting laying again and need alot to drink.
The building work I was doing has had to stop as the water has frozen at my cottage and it is too cold for the cement set. The temperature dropped to minus 12 on Wednesday night.

As the new show season starts soon I am starting to make new stock and update the website. This week  has been rag rugging week one finished and two more nearly finished.

This is a traditional hit and miss rug with a black border and it is the correct size for to in front of the Aga, Rayburn, Everhot etc.
I have a nice autumnal diamond pattern rug and a contempary landsape rug to finish.
