HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
I was never happy with the face on this rug. I didn’t like it then, and I still didn’t like it now. I don’t know why I didn’t reverse hook then . . . I guess I thought I’d learn to like it. I did not, so finally yesterday, I tried to improve on it a little. Let me just say that I found it VERY difficult to hook not being able to put it on the frame. I think it’s better, but still not great, but I think I can live with it. If you think you can live with it, let me know because I’ll give it away on Thursday evening. It's a small little mat, about 8 3/4" x 10 1/4". I’ll have Jake pick a name around 6 pm and contact the lucky (?) person. Leave a comment on this post only or send me an e-mail with “give-away” in the subject line.
I am up to 248 followers. Thank you to all my followers, both old and new. I am humbled and appreciate you taking the time out of your busy lives to read my ramblings. I’ve never insisted that a person be a follower to enter my give-aways and I don’t plan to start now. This give-away is only for the people who are reading this so I'd appreciate you not mentioning it on your blog :)
I purchased this cupid from Olde Lady Morgan. Isn't she just a hoot? I also purchased a "dammit" doll. You can read about them on her selling blog.
My Sweetie gave me roses and cash for some hooker's crack. (Thanks, Kim!)
Life is good!
Pug hugs :)
Lauren
Happy valentine to you Lauren.
ReplyDeleteI'm sadden that you don't like the kitty rug. I look at mine every day and I cherish it.
Mind you, I still have to finish whipping it but I'm undecided what I want to do with it. I was thinking of adding a piece of wool under it and make it bigger for my chair seat but I'm on hold because I'm quilting.
Hugs. JB
I was hasty on pushing the publish button again... I just wanted to say how lucky you are to have received red roses for Valentine. JB

Roses and hookers crack......what a perfect gift. Very sweet of your honey. Your little kitty is darling. I feel bad that you don't love him.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kim
I love this rug! We had a black cat for 18 years until he passed and it reminds me of him. But I understand what you mean... sometimes you make something that you just quite aren't happy with. But believe me - I would be :) Love your cupid and your roses :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Blessings, Patti
lauren, i love your kitty mat and i love kittys! i think its great! cute doll and beautiful flowers sounds like you had a perfect valentines day!
ReplyDeleteWell, this kitty would come to a home with 3 live-in cats (I would say kitties, but they are more mature). Your valentine flowers are beautiful. My husband, who has a Valentine's birthday, gave me red tulips that are very wonderful. You are very sweet to have this give away.

ReplyDeletePretty flowers you received for Valentine's Day!! And cash is always good..... :)
ReplyDeleteYour little kitty mat is so very cute -- please throw me in the hat for a chance to win it!
Lauren, it is very difficult to hook without a frame I think. There were two rugs that needed changes and I walked on them and by them for about 6 years until I finally couldn't stand it any longer. I'm glad that I made the changes but it was very difficult to fo wit the rugs sitting on my lap and not a frame.
ReplyDeleteYet, I understand there are those people who don't use a frame and just tuck the excess under a thigh to help keep it taught and I know that Polly Minick uses a hoop. That is also difficult for me to do.
