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

 

Background Hooking

so you can see the background better

it's amazing

my large rug is going to rest for a bit

while I hook up some small pieces

*****

finally found my punch needle

now where did I put the monks cloth?

 

Happy Friday!

 

 

Found My Direction

this is where my latest rug is heading

words

not these words though...

 

Picking a Background

this background

is the sort I'm going to aim for

with the My Garden rug...

colorwise

I'll post a photo of my progress tomorrow

with or without background 

*****

today is my birthday

  as usual

time with Mom is good and bad

my heart is heavy knowing how unhappy she is

knowing I do all I can

minute by minute we go

*****

Charlotte, one of the other facility daughters

gifted me with a gorgeous vase of flowers

sweet pink roses

among other flowers and greens I cannot name

they made everyone smile

of course, the cats are flipping out

I let them have a sniff

then put the vase on a high cupboard...

not high enough

so now they are way up on a shelf

where I can see them from the bottom

my two beasties want to chew them up! 

Melrose is on the floor under the shelf

keeping a close eye on the flowers for me...

Scrappy Backgrounds

you know what I'm going to say

cats instead of flowers

prim perfection

ditto

this background...

***** 

these are the very few rugs I've saved on Pinterest recently

am obsessed with the fidget quilts

 am making parts and pieces in various colorways

then will combine onto fleece backings

 it's so FUN to do something way out of my comfort zone

never in my life

have I chosen bright, shiny or so much pink

 even rooted around the remnant bins in Joann's...

Happy Monday
