It Started Like This. . .

The beginning of the rug idea stemmed from my beautiful and talented friend Lizzy. It is thanks to her, and my wonderful and supportive husband, that this has come to fruition. Her timeless style saw these rugs (originally designed by Jean Lee) and fell in love. You can read Lizzy's complete story at www.thesmallseed.com, but in short, she had a high-risk situation with her expectant twins known as mono-mono, which put her in the hospital for a lengthy period hooked to heart monitors. During her extended stay, we finished a rug for her nursery where we hoped she would be able to rock her sweet twin girls. The angel babies are now here safely - small, but growing - and it looks like she'll be able to bring them home in a couple of weeks. She is a sweet, joyful and faithful woman, and when I make these rugs, I am reminded of her enthusiasm and strength. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

This is Lizzy's rug:
