Little Crow

 Yesterday I pulled out a smallish piece of linen

stitched some cotton to the length and put it on the frame...

what to hook?

I cut for the background

everything else from the worm baskets

The previous rug did cut down the size of my worm stash

but in between I have hooked many rugs

adding plenty more strips

have also set aside some I think I'll never use

mostly purple

Today I started another similar to this on the same piece of linen

after that, there is a cat in the works

Thank you all for returning to my blog

after the long gap

Making Do

on the frame

using up a pattern/backing from 2004

drawn on soft linen

 I'm not at all fond of this sort of linen

so kept passing the pattern by

using it for a geometric worm busting rug is perfect!

yesterday I was dithering over dark or light background

I'd prefer light 

the worm baskets said dark

this is one of the antique designs on the pattern

it might be tough hooking over them 

*****

I'm being as frugal as can be this year

saving for when I'll need time off for mom

there is so much in my stash to "make do" with

next step will be to sell off a few things

that I haven't gotten around to

Mom has had some better days as her meds 

are being decreased...

yesterday was awesome

hated going to work she was so much herself

 

Guardian Angel

I just love how she turned out

now to steam and start binding...

hooked from my worm stash

inspired by a Cheri Payne pattern from my stash 

I'm having fasting bloodwork tomorrow 
when I get to work
so nothing to eat after 2 am
not quite NPO since I can drink water
but this is how I feel!

Hooking Hearts

finally decided on the design

for this mat with hearts last night at midnight

there is enough linen in this piece

for a few mug mats too

using up red and green worms...

colors chosen by the gal I'm hooking it for

that's her below with Mom

Mom says she knows the name

but doesn't recognize Sarah as a scarecrow

last week I whipped her up a little fleece blanket

the other side is a bright-ish green 

as you can see, she's pretty happy with it

*****

the wool winner hasn't contacted me

so tomorrow morning

I'll draw another name if I don't hear from her

  

Big Orange Cat

another fun chair pad

now to decide on the border...

after this I have a large geometric planned

to use up lots of scraps

inspired by this rug:

mine will have a lot of red

a lot

Wishing you a great day!

Hooking Along

back to work on the chairpads...

my stash of red worms seems endless

thinking of a pumpkin chairpad for myself

or more likely my sister...

maybe using these sort of drab colors

 if there are enough in the worm stash

Happy Sunday!
