Color Inspiration

I do enjoy a good cozy mystery

so will probably pick this up at the library

it caught my eye on Pinterest because of the colors...

everywhere you look

there is color inspration

*****

filling the wool orders today

off to the post office tomorrow

it's been fun going through all my wool

I now have an even larger stack to overdye

the rest is looking so pretty on the shelves

it will be a shame to mess it up again

 *****

Ewe Are Loved 

I haven't been much interested in quilt making lately

this one could change my mind...

their goofy eyes crack me up

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...

Another Pumpkin

as you can see

another one where I changed my mind

drew this one up last year

 called for a sheep instead of cat when I started hooking

can be drawn up from my new booklet

by mixing up designs

the wool is an older piece

probably from Heavens To Betsy

mixed in with pumpkin wools

it creates a nice sparkle

having a hard time choosing a background

*****

back to work today

still feeling not myself

but I've been to the Dr and he says it's okay

 great

because I am sick of my own company!

Background Hooking

SKINNER INC

image found on Pinterest

link provided to Skinner Inc

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!

 

 

makes my heart go pitter pat

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...

 

 

Wool Therapy

nothing like a large dose of wool

to get Mom and me

smiling!

I've started cutting strips of wool again

Mom organizes them into bundles for me

she takes her work very seriously

 she suggested I hang the bundles on the peg board

in the sewing room so I can see what I have cut

when talking about things fabric related

she remembers most everything!

After tonight I'm off for 8 days...

only plans are to relax and potter around the house

Have a great Saturday!

it's gorgeous here in Ohio
