Absolutely gorgeous.  I'm so inspired.  Found this after searching on-line for the amazing felt bead rug that Anthropologie is currently selling.  I looked through this whole thread hoping to see pictures of the next one you were going to make, but there are none.  I'm so bummed.  Would also love to know what the gift-ee thought of her fabulous rug.

Thanks so much for this.  Your beads are incredible.  I just saw this rug at Anthropologie today and want to make one.  Perhaps not so big.  It's absolutely gorgeous, and I took my shoes off and walked on it and it's so comfy on the toes.  How do you get your beads to all be the same size?

Well to throw my penny into the ring (or something... my cliches are all coming together into one giant cliche today), my Etsy shop has been open for a couple months, and I've sold nothing at all

Today I added a couple more items, decreased a bit of the shipping, and injected the descriptions with a bit of my personality.... It should make things more interesting to read, but what about selling? If anyone has a chance, check out my shop and give me any constructive criticisms!

Well, the one thing I noticed is that you're not getting hits to your shop.  I haven't sold anything either, but I'm getting a lot more traffic.  I wonder why that is.  Not sure which is worse though, getting traffic and not selling, or not getting traffic and not selling.  I've been on only 5 weeks and I've had over 800 views to my shop. 

I have been a lurker here forever, but had to respond to this post.  I made this shrug also.  The pattern is way off.  It totally pisses me off.  My free patterns on my website are written better.  I think it's really cute, but it took me three tries to get it right.  First I tried a bigger hook, not big enough, then added two rows at the beginning.  What a pain.  Plus I think the shaping for the stitches that end up as the seam in the back was really weird.  I love the end result, but what a pain.
