New on my Frame ~


I've decided to take a break from my What Nots rug and work on something for fall.  This is a pattern from Cathy G over at Orange Sink.  The pattern can be found here.  The pattern is about 10" x 20" and is a fun one to hook.  (As always, the colors, especially the flower petals, are more muted in person!)



Today, in Oberlin, Ohio, was a rescue event called the Doggie Do.  Annie and I spent the day there and she is totally worn out.  She is like a little kid trying so hard to keep her eyes open.  She was using one of her toys as a pillow.


I actually sold one of my pumpkins :)  If my memory hasn't failed me (and it has that tendancy), it is the first hooked piece that I have ever sold.  Thanks, Jan, you made my day!

Don't forget to sign up for my give-away.  I will pick a winner tomorrow evening.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

It's so fun to see how everyone is hooking the pattern! Your hooking is wonderful! Are you using wider than 8.5? The colors are fabulous!
Selling your first rug will open up the channel for selling more in the future! Your beautiful hooking will surely be sought after!
Dear little Annie..... she must have had a really good time!! Bless her heart!
Enjoy all your loops!!
Hugs!

The design of your new rug will really pop with that great dark background - can't wait till you get it all finished up!

That pattern caught my eye too....But, I would have to send out a search and rescue party to find my hook first. :o( And YEA on selling the pumpkin - but of course they would sell! I LOVE those punkins of yours.....You should offer some up here on your blog! You know, I come from a long, long, line of pumpkin hoarders.....Awww....Sweet Annie..... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
