THIS JUST IN: Awesomest rug ever

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's Deery Lou on the left and  Strummer the pup with a homemade hat on the right. But let's get down to the REAL issue here. 

LOOK AT THAT RUG!

It's so awesome.

OMG, cutest little doggie ever. I want a dog with a little pink knit bonnet. I'm in love. The carpet's pretty hot too!

the phrase "an explosion of yarn happiness" brought me much joy for reasons I can't quite explain.

whew! All that anger is being directed at the deer. I was certain the hooman responsible the for pinkness was going to be murdered.

Hellooooooooooooo matchingks! (thankfully not with the rug)

Now, is this Strummer, as in Joe, as in The Clash? Because if it is, this puppy's owner is the coolest person alive.

I love the little pockets
for the ears knit into the
pink hat...

All that shag! I'm having flashbacks to my bedroom when I was 8!

And marmoset flashbacks too, from the hovering.

Rug looks like it was hanging on clothesline as part of a rug display for a
vendor who sells stuff off his truck.

Hahaaha, how about the dignified brown couch in the background, masquerading as a WILD ORANGE COWCHINGTONS YEEOW!

I still have an unfinished latch hook rug from when I was a kid, and it was tiny..I wonder how long THAT rug took!

Also, thanks for getting the damn Marmoset song in my head again. :P

Kristi
 |  Nov 26, 2008 at 08:57 PM

@Kristi: I've made a latch-hook rug that size. You know how long it took?

Forever.

And a day.

That's like the dorkiest, cutest, most shagedelic thing I've ever seen! Gah, I've been hypnotized by yarn..........................and chihuahuas with eye capshules!
The beer helps too.................

reminds me of little red riding hood..

That was the weirdest reenactment of Little Read Pinking Hood I've ever seen. Courtesy of the Shagpile Players. Of course I loved their production of A Rug for All Seasons and their acclaimed all-avocado colored appliance presentation of The Fondue Pot Murders.

Decca

That's the weirdest version of Little Pink Riding Hood I've ever seen. Mind you, the Shagpile Players are at the vanguard of the intelligensia. Remember their all avocado-colored appliance production of Checkov's "Uncle Maytag." And of course who could forget Mr. Barkyboots in Rug! The Musical!

Decca
 |  Nov 26, 2008 at 11:47 PM

My parents had two rugs a lot like that when I was growing up. Yow.

Theresa
 |  Nov 27, 2008 at 02:58 AM

@Decca: LOL!!! Have they done "The Shag Menagerie" or "The Carpet Installer Cometh"?

Gail (the first one)

. . . it looks like the '70s threw up on that carpet. Seriously. It's "Interior Desecrations"-worthy. Dog's cute, but that carpet is giving me flashbacks to the Decade of Little Taste.

"The photos of Strummer were taken by the victim, shortly before he was found dead by family members. Police report that the corpse had over 28,000 bite marks, apparently from a small dog."

Remember Ren & Stimpy? It's Ren. Steempy, you eeediot! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

i wuvs puttins, I'm totally seeing the Ren Hoek connection, especially in the last photo where he has clearly snapped into a characteristic psychotic rage. If we had sound we could hear the maniacal cackling. :)

Oo! And you can see the base of an undoubtedly-cool table in the background. I want to see the whole place!

oww what a tiny cute couple!:)

Yup, had a rug like this in my room too. Mine also had purple in it. It inspired me to plant my knees in the center of it and spin around and around, watching the fabulous colors spin by, faster and faster, until the center of gravity is lost! Thunk. Shag breaks my fall. I watch the ceiling make herky jerky movements. Get back up on knees, start again. Mom wonders where I've been all afternoon.
Can a psychedelic rug be considered a gateway drug?

lol e-beth

I used to hang up-side-down from my bunk bed and imagine all the stuff on the floor was on the roof and that the roof was the floor. It was really weird, but very entertaining when I couldn't sleep.

I love the tinsy lip curl in the second picture. Control those emotions doggy.

Ohhhhhhh. I think I know that dog and rug! Unless there's another Strummer the tiny chihuahua living in a vintage mod pad. So cute!
