I'd like to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my Etsy shop, YellowViolet (http://www.yellowviolet.etsy.com/) and show you my latest creation:
I call them Bohemian mats. This is a 12 incher and it can be used as a hot pad, chair pad, under a plant thingy or whatever. I also make smaller ones, different color ones, oval ones...you get the picture.
OK I'm feeling pretty big with myself right now because I've figured out how to do all this so I'm not going to push my luck! I'll be back soon!
