~ Welcome Friends ~
Thank you so much for stopping by. Is it just me, or have you tried the new blogger and find it very difficult to move the pictures where you want them? I tried one other time and gave up. I thought I'd try again and still have had some problems. Like I've said before, I'm technologically challenged :) I'm also trying to find where everyone lately is finding those really nifty fonts. I've poked around some, and have not found them. Any suggestions?
Wednesday evening, I decided to try making some woven hearts with wool. I know I've stolen this idea from another blogger, but for the life of me, I haven't a clue where I saw it. {{Whoever you are, I thank you!}} Last night I took the supplies to That'll Do Farm, and 3 of the hookers decided to give it a try. I must say, they came out really well. Two of these I made and the others were made at the Farm.

Jane's very modern rug being hooked in a 4. WOWZA those are some thin strips of wool! I think she was also using some sparkly yarn.
This rug is one Heidi started in a class with Gail DuFresne. She used wool strips, proddy, yarn, roving and I'm not sure what else. I absolutely LOVE the the head of the sheep ~ very whimsical and wild!
I am happy to report that Hopscotch, now known as Midge, is doing just great in her forever home. Here she is with pug sister Rhoda.

Rhoda, Elwood and Hopscotch taking a snooze. I'd say she's already one of the gang!
Don't forget to sign up for my give~away if you haven't already done so. I may be drawing more than one name {hint, hint}.
Thanks so much for stopping by and please come again soon!
Pug hugs :)

Love the hearts!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Midge is so self-confident and content...
Great projects! Looks like a good time. The dogs are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!
ReplyDeleteI saw these too and I found directions online to make the paper ones so I could make some woven wool hearts too.
They are just too cute!
Great rugs too!
Hugs,
Kerri

I love the fabric hearts. I remember teaching kids to make them in school with paper. The fabric ones are way better! Love seeing so many neat projects, thanks for sharing the work of your friends.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Hopscotch is fitting in in her new home.
ReplyDeleteI love your valentine fabric hearts.
I'm not computer savy also and find it difficult adjusting to working on a small laptop and it's so much slower than my Apple computer and I loose a lot of my comments. Sometimes they just vanish and I'm not sure what happend.
Hope that you can figure out how to post photos where you want them. JB
Those hearts are adorable. I am so pleased that "Midge" has settled in so well. She certainly looks comfortable and happy.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the hearts!!! So happy for Hopscotch/Midge!!
ReplyDeleteps....I don't like some of the fonts I've seen! They are hard to read!!! Just my two cents from another technically challenged one.
ReplyDeleteHey Lauren!!! The wool hearts are from Laurie at LJ Fibers.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to blogs,I'm always in wonderment of what I see on other blogs and wonder,"How they do that??" BUT when it comes to my blog,I changed the background on it one day and lost my whole blog,so I leave it alone with the attitude,if it ain't broke don't even try to fix it!!!!
Hopscotch DOES seem like she is fitting right in! Love those hearts!
