More progress on the beach kids rug


It was time for a progress report on the beach kids. The sky is filling in nicely. I can't seem to settle on a name for this rug, so I've been calling them the "boy and girl", "beach kids" etc. for now.

I love the idea of this rug. Growing up we spent all summer on the beach, the image of kids on a beach brings back lots of great memories - but we were never as well dressed as these two! lol I don't think I ever went down on the beach in a cute little dress!!

I especially like the way the sand turned out. The ripples formed on the sandbars........ahhhhh, I love walking on the sandbars!

If I'm lucky today maybe I will get the sky finished. This rug has taken a loooong time.

  1. All the best things take time, Kim! Your rug is beautiful--the sand and the sky convey so much movement you can almost hear the waves pounding on the shore. Hang in there.

  2. Thanks Debra,
    I hope it will remind of the beach during those long Nova Scotian winters!

  3. So in the end you didn't have to pull out any wool right? I think we were discussing if the water color was dark enough. Looks like you added some extra colors in there? Very Nice so far.
