Melissa has been a hooking fool! Love these two Betsy cats she made in to pillows! (Of course the colors are much more muted in person.)
She is currently working on Anne Nichols' turkey as a gift for her parents. She will change the date to the year they married. She also has hooked rugs for her three sisters for Christmas and on each one put the year of her birth. What a great sister!
Andi is making great progress on her Deanne Fitzpatrick rug started in a Katie Allman class at the Farm a few weeks ago.
Of course I've waited until the last minute to hook a couple small mats needed as gifts next week. When will I ever learn? {Probably never!} The pumpkin is hooked in an 8.5 cut and after hooking so many pumpkins with hand-torn strips, I felt like I was hooking with spaghetti. I did go to a 9 cut for the background.
A few pics from around the farm.
I'll leave you with this picture of Annie taken earlier this evening. It just cracks me up when she sits this way!
Thanks for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

Love the prim kitty pillows!! But you, dear ET, hook with amazing precision....I am always amazed to see your perfectly placed loops....and even with such a wide cut. Ahhh...perhaps I should just hang up the ol' hook... And dear, sweet, Annie....what a cover girl she would make! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteAnnie is just a little person disguised as a dog, that's why she sits like that..... Really, she cracks me up too.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pictures and that chicken is beautiful with her nice feathers.
You are getting good at hooking pumpkins. I hook with narrow cuts but it's real slow.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, JB
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all the pictures. Annie is too cute! Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Lori
Oh Annie, what a cute dog and I just love that picture. The rugs looks great and so does your pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteI haven't picked up my hook all week. I did dye and cut wool today but that was it. I am ready to go but no motivation. Aw well, I hope seeing yours makes me want to work again. :)
It looks like everyone is making wonderful rugs and I like the cat pillows.
ReplyDeleteAnnie is so funny, what a face.

Looks like a great place to hook! I haven't hooked in soooo long, but am getting together tomorrow with my friend Kimberlee for some hooking/punch needle. Tomorrow. Yay! Maybe some day I can make the trip out to the farm. :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I ove your little pumpkin. I'm a procrastinator too! :-)
