Happy Happy Mail


 A retirement gift from me to me

Lazy Cats
31 x 84

not any time soon though
will spend the time thinking about the colors


from blacksheepwooldesigns.com
not on her website yet
just ask about different sizes

Rhonda has a large selection
of antique reproduction style rugs I'd love to hook
her patterns are beautifully drawn

The roofers started here today
but with rain on the way 
they will only get part of it done
when they come back Monday it will be cooler

Happy Weekend friends!

Starting Another Rug





I'm starting a new mostly unplanned rug
if you'd like to hook a long with me
these rugs from Pinterest
are all border ideas
you are in no way limited to these borders...

my rug will be large 
because that's the piece of linen I want to use up
from my 
"I'm never going to hook this pattern" stash

I'll use as many of the worms from my stash as possible
I'll cut more as needed
I've chosen a color palette
as in...no orange 
 



my "plan" is for a flag rug
with a busy border
I'll be doing an American flag
you can choose your own
 

I like asymmetrical rugs
so my borders will all be different
probably
see where I'm going?
loose plans


if this rug inspired me 
I'd just replace the elephant with a flag
maybe stay neutral
maybe use color
 

a couple more no brainers
replace basket or dog with a flag 



I'd put pennies in the corners 



very simple


 these two are my biggest inspirations...
both color and design

*****

so that's how I start planning an unplanned rug

I'm beginning in the left upper corner
will share photos as I go

other ideas will be shared in 
The Out of Hand Rug Hooker group on FB
