Since 2002, we have made the most versatile rugs you will find anywhere. Our rugs are hand crocheted, using seven strands of acrylic yarns. The number of strands give these thick rugs their comfort and durability. All of our rugs are machine washable and you can even put them through a dryer cycle.
We make an everyday standard area rug in a number of sizes, with over fifty color combinations from which to choose. You can also take our standard rug and add a built-in foot massager and a warmer to give yourself fourteen yarn strands of comfort and a pocket to keep your feet warm. Or, you add a tie-on 3-D image (animals, flowers, etc.) to match any room theme. Add more tie-ons to create a picture - we have completed ones ready to buy or you can create your own custom one. |

In 2001 my Mama taught me how to crochet with so many strands of yarn at one time (I usually use seven). I made my first rug and sold it in 2002.
I began by selling at a Farmer's Market on the Oregon coast. My biggest difficulty was getting people to walk on my rugs. They would tell me that they were too pretty to walk on! Although that was nice to hear, it did not help me to sell my rugs. In an attempt to get people to try them and see how incredibly comfortable these rugs are, I actually had to put signs on them saying "please walk on me!" Desperately, I began to make the massage rugs, absolutely determined to make people feel the comfort of my rugs. It worked! People began to buy the massage rugs, and then my standard rugs as well.
In 2002, my Mother-in-law crocheted small cow potholders and we put one on a rug to create a room theme. It worked so well, I began creating my own tie-ons to add to my rugs. These have been very popular. And now people were telling me that I should take the rugs off the floor and put them on the wall where they belong, so I did. From there on, the tie-on rugs became pictures with an integrated frame.
And who knows where I'll go from here?
