the rug is now hooked and whipped

needs some wool strips to finish

about 24 x 46

makes me want to hook larger rugs

Harvest Blessings

15.5 x 19.5

so a few weeks ago my desktop crashed

have been using my phone or laptop

for most things

still getting the hang of blogging on laptop

a few more days left of my vacation

as always no painting was done

given the choice between hook/needle and brush

I am never going to get my walls repainted

at least they are clean

as are the baseboards and all the trim

so I did a little prep work

that should count for something...

wishing all my friends

sweet dreams tonight

and a joyful tomorrow

Funky Patriotic

just finished the hooking on this one..

stayed up late and woke up early

it's been a very long time

since I've hooked like this!

need blocked and prssed and all that jazz

for now I'm going to just hook on the next rug

sooner or later my precut strips will be used up 

later rather than sooner 

Happy Sunday

 

Just the Eyes

after the eyes are added

I must 

work on finishing the chair pads

at the very least get them ready to tote around with me

remind of that if I start another rug first, okay?

 

sorry about the blur

enjoying her perch on the ironing board

until Melrose spots her...

 

Background and Border

loving the scrappy border...

 

Next Please...

my other new cat chair pad design

is already waiting on the frame

this one was so fun it almost hooked itself

I did hook outside the lines 

so now it's about 13"

I'm a happy hooking again hooker this week!

 also decided to close my etsy store

so I won't be tempted to try and list things again

too stressful for me

Cat on the Frame

sorry about the blur

to put it mildly

I've been obsessed with this one

the border is WAY out of my comfort zone

and I love it!

started the background in green

fail

changed to black

just right

the stem is just there as a place holder

looking for a brownish-grey that will hold up 

next to black

as you can see I've been derailed

from listing things for sale

story of my life

especially when the hooking is going smoothly
