A Fresh Start

 Here's the story on this rug...

I hadn't felt like hooking in ages

oh, I could do one here or there for an animal shelter auction

then even that became too exhausting

yes, the depression had sunk into my bones

I went to work

came home and looked at the walls

repeat nearly endlessly

then my formerly hooker now quilter

friend Jacque offered up a rug/wool to me

for the price of shipping

she had started it

 knew she didn't want to finish

don't even ask the size

but it's a large rug

it wasn't my style or colors

yet how could I resist

she basically had the center star and a small part

of the background completed

I went way off the rails

according to the drawn pattern

but boy did I have fun

I hooked and hooked

falling in love with hooking again

will I finish it or will I cannibalize the wool

and use the linen for a different rug

time will tell
