weekend craft

as usual, i can't sit still during the weekends, and had to make something.
i have this super fun rug I bought at Hobby Lobby a few months ago. Its like a "natural" color with a dark brown paisley and flower design on it. I love it, except i wanted something brighter for the spring/summer months.
so i decided to paint the blank side of my rug.
Originally i wanted to do a Chevron design, but i couldn't get it all symmetrical. too hard...

so i opted for stripes.
I got the small "sample" size of paints and it was perfect. here's some pictures.







there's a few other things i'm currently working on.
I'll let you know when it's presentable. :)

"before" shot

this is a kitty that had been hanging out at our front door for a few days causing Millie lots of anxiety. We let it in to give him/her some love, but in the end, had to drive it a few houses away for the sake of pup.
