Home is

wherever I am with you



where it feels clean even though it might be a little bit untidy
where you know you can find your things (nevermind the mess)
where you can listen to your favorite music, any time of the day
where you can cuddle on a cosy sofa (with blankets and pillows)
where your desk, desktop, cute notebooks and pens are
where your favorite, morning coffee spot, is




As one can tell I took a hiatus, because I was too busy living life... but now I can't wait to get back on track with the blog and everything.



I'll need some time to soak everything up
who wouldn't?!

The story of a thrifted rug

You might have notice my name on the tab bar, and you might have clicked it, and if you did, you 've seen my personal blog, and lately I've posted over there a photo of this beautiful rug. 

Well it's a hot pink and blue textile of two woven pieces joined , with a crocheted trim edge of the same color and yarn. It was thrifted about a year ago, washed and forgotten. I was pretty happy when we found it, it was not in perfect condition, but I liked it. The crocheted edge was teared in some places, but I thought if it could not be fixed, it would be removed! 

but! I came across it, last week, while tiding my room up, only to find that it had some big deal of problems a) the crocheted edge got worse and b) the whole texture started shedding (yarns fall apart). It seems like that this hot fluo pink yarn was too old and worn out, while the blue one and the beige base didn't have a problem at all. Sorry for the heart aching photos to follow! :(

what a pity! I had to give it away. But I took some pictures of it, cause it's pretty, with a pretty amazing pattern and inspiring. Don't you think? I may crochet a blanket inspired by this poor rug. 

it would be perfect for a couch spread, or for a bench cover.but now it's gone, one more reason to go thrifting again, to overcome its loss, hahaha! I'm a keeper, I don't throw away stuff so easily, but this was an exception! What about you, have you ever experienced something similar? Do you throw away stuff you've thrifted that gone bad?

ciao
