Rug in the works & swapmeet find

Today i want to share with you a rug i finally started (to see my DONE ones, see link at bottom left of this page please).
These rugs i learned years ago, from the Carol Duvall show on HGTV and they are soo easy and fun to make but oh soo time consuming. they are made out of simple bed sheets material (cotton types)and torn into strips and kind of crocheted, but the really fun part is the tool! it's a shaved down toothbrush handle with a hole drilled in for the fabric! (the second pic is more a truer color)

there are NO knots in this rug, too! very cool process actually :)And these are the fabrics i will be stripping and adding when i run out of the red base with which i started :)

i will add more pix as i get further on it, right now its about 18 inches and almost 5 hrs work put in!

Also, altho' i didnt buy anything on saturday at the swapmeet, we went back on sunday when its alot more laid back and not so full of people (vendors OR custormers lol) and i did find this little package:)

says it contains, Holy water, Holy soil and pure olive oil from the Holy Land of Bethlehem, Jerusalem :)
(the back)

cool, huh? for a BUCK!! gotta love the swapmeet, never know what ya find lol
