Nice and Simple


a nice simple little mat

the wool is what I used for the background
cut against the stripes

 

another little freebie pattern from one of my older booklets...
I've never hooked this one
think it's about time!

*****

I can get a lot of hooking done sometimes because...

I live with 2 cats
there is no one here to cook for
no one cares how clean it is (besides me)
no children or grandchildren 
I have no life!

seriously...

Quick Sunflower Freebie



a couple of readers
asked about the rugs and punches shown yesterday

they are all from long ago
most I no longer have the patterns for
this one I found in my files

as you can see
it's all about the wool or thread you use

feel free to use this freebie for fun or profit
you may sell the finished item
but no selling of the pattern in any form
as always, please give me design credit

Freebie Time



I tend to post on FB
plus here with my freebies...
I know not everyone does Facebook

this one was supposed to be in my latest booklet
in a cleaned up form
this is very rough...
there were issues

I have no idea why there is a snowman there
maybe he's trying to tell the cat
something 

anyway
I think I'll make mine without the snowman

my new booklets are going out in the mail today...
next day for shipping is Wednesday
thank you for your orders
I hope you have fun with the doodles!

Old Glory

26.5 x 20

the hooking has been completed for a while
getting around to binding...
well, I'm more in the mood for hooking right how
it's hot
and even in AC a rug on your lap is extra hot


truer colors


washed out colors on a dreary day
 
finished this hooking last night
both of these rugs were hooked from the 
worm baskets

looks to be a few more rugs in the baskets

you have my permission to copy
either or both of these rugs
one time 
for personal use
 
please give me credit for design when sharing photos

measurements for Old Glory:

 30.25 x 23

borders are 3"
except top border which is three strips
(8 or 8.5 is what I used)

blue section - 11 x 8

stripes - 16.5 x 25.75

the flag is outline with one strip

I hope this makes sense...
my planning and measuring are very loose at best
mostly I eyeball

Picking Another Winner and Freebie


 I never heard from the first winner!

a new one was chosen
Maureen McKay
I've sent you an email
now I just need your address and the wool will be on the way
(if i don't hear from you in 48 hours
it's on to the next person)


started with a 14" circle
it ends up larger
as I tend to hook outside the outer line on all rugs

I think Sarah will like it
her colors
I choose 5 hearts
 because she and her husband have 3 daughters
(just like my parents)


this was my original plan
a wider border of scrappy reds


 my rough draft
when drawn on the linen backing
I tweaked the hearts

please enjoy hooking this simple pattern
the usual requests apply
please no sharing on Pinterest
no selling the pattern
and so on...

Wednesday Night


I get the evil eye most days
when playing bingo with mom and her friends...
somebody has to liven things up

(mom asked me to tell everyone to shut up)




this is an oldie
from my Merry Winter booklet


I think I've given this as a freebie before
from one of my booklets

honestly
I've given myself a headache trying to draw
the chair pad with heart/s
loved doing the hearts for Debbie's mat
this one
not so much

* the usual requests apply to any past, present and future freebies

Antiuqe Rug and Freebies



found on Pinterest


not so fond of the entire rug though
 just the cats
or are they dogs

 more rough draft freebies
I figured out how to scan in b/w
no more pink backgrounds


 my NC sister loves tombstone angels
guess it's time to hook her another one

Please feel free to use these patterns
with the normal requests 

These will be the last for a while
I've gotten things organized
so that means I won't 
remember where they are in a few days

*****
 back to work tonight
the house is a little cleaner - a lot more organized
things set aside to donate - to recycle
a new rug hooked
cats brushed to sleek and fluffy gorgeousness
 a pretty good stay-cation in my book  

Thanks for all your kind words on my doodles
most are 7-8 years old
hooking all the simple geometrics for Debbie
(two beachy and 6 star chair pads)
really helped diminish the worm stash

More than that
they gave me back my love of hooking
it had been buried under all 
that has gone on in my life the past 4 years

did I mention that my latest rug was for me?
no more
guess who wants it on her wall

Cats, Freebies and A Question


one constant remains
I love cats
real cats, hooked cats and cat art

I used to love creating and decorating for Halloween
now I prefer fall

no more snowmen for me
I prefer a simple Santa or something from nature

tastes change over time
how have your tastes changed in your creating/decorating
over the years?

***** 

today's freebies are old rough drafts
once doodled and forgotten
I think
who knows
maybe a nicer version appeared in a collection
 

we used to have pink scrap paper at work
years ago
if you look closely
you can see the pirate cat
doodled on the back

change the pumpkin to a star, tree or pennies
 

 seeing this one again
makes me want to hook it from the worm baskets

as always, change to what you love
a word, date or hit n miss 

 Louis Rosckosch -:

as always, the patterns are free to use
if you follow the guidelines suggested in 
my previous post!
(feel free to share images of your finished items,
just not the patterns themselves, thanks)

I'd love to see anything you make from these freebies...

New Rug and a Few Freebies


started this yesterday
using just worms so far
will see if I need to cut something as it progresses...

 Freebie

I think this is one I never shared
or sold or whatever...
use this as a starting point
hook two cats, less stars, more pumpkins


Freebie

from one of my first pattern collections
a favorite!

you might give the cat a Santa hat
change the pumpkin to a snowman head...
use the word merry

 *****
*please do not share on Pinterest or other online locations

Have fun with these patterns
all I ask is that you give me credit for the design
don't sell the pattern in any form

you may sell your finished work
no mass producing
and all the usual respect the designer requests

I have plenty of patterns to share
especially of cats

It's a dreary, rainy afternoon in NE, Ohio
perfect for getting back to hooking my black cat rug

Pumpkin and Cats


adapted from one of my older designs
still hooking from the worm baskets
I'm going to concentrate on backgrounds
once I started stripping for rugs again
it might be a while...
after this one I'm going back to the chair pads
 


 another oldie...
some freebie patterns for you
please give credit to me when creating
no selling of pattern in any form
no mass producing and so on


spoiled little monkey
