LOST . . .


. . . one proddy tool.  I know it's been a while (almost 2 years ???) since I've used it, but shouldn't it be with my hooking stuff?  I want to try a proddy edge on a little round mat.  I know I can just use my hook, but I paid a small fortune for the darn thing.  I'm sure I'll find it when I no longer need it . . . sigh.  Don't you just HATE (I know that's a very strong word) when that happens?


Actually, since starting this post, I tried it and it is working very well with the Hartman hook.  I don't know that I'd want to do an entire rug this way, but for the edge it is progressing quickly ~ and the mat is only 12" in diameter.


Several people have asked about my rug label shown in the last post.  It's really very easy.  I will try to find the time this weekend to give a quick "how to".

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    It happens to me all the time, Lauren! Did you look in the fridge? The things I lose always turn up in a totally unrelated place ;0)

    Can't wait to see the rest of your new rug!
    Hugs, Linda

    I'll bet it is in a basket of wool strips from another project. I lose scissors, hooks, etc. and they are either under woo or have fallen between the sofa cushions. Good luck.

    Oh good because I have never labeled my rugs and I loved your label and now could you do a post about that edge, that is awesome. I have never seen a edge that looks like that. Gosh, now you will really be busy. I do hope you find your proddy tool.
    Have a lovely evening Lauren.

    Never tried one of those proddy tool thingies. I drive myself crazy when I lose something and will look forever till I find it. I like the label on your last rug. It is a good habit to get into - document/date/sign your work. Saves your kids one day wondering when or if Mama made this.

    I am so glad you are going to share your label how to! I never remember until the rug is finished that I didn't try to hook my initials and date. I have an adult special needs daughter and when I loose something and in a tizzie trying to find it, her response is ,ask Jesus to help you out!

    Happens to me all the time! If I REALLY want it, I'll go buy a new one - and then of course the first one shows back up. ARGH! Wish I was more organized. I did a proddy edge on a pillow once and was shocked at how much wool it took - decided I wouldn't do that too often.

    If you're like me, I can never find anything! That is a neat label!

    ooohh I am loving the wool in your current project. I have not tried doing any proddy but it sure looks cute on your rug. Can't wait to see the finished project.. and of course your hook will show up eventually.

    I don't know what proddy is but I like the word! I may make up my own meaning for it and start using it.

    Hope you found your proddy tool. I am always putting things away in a "safe place" only to forget where that is :) We are supposed to have bad storms here tonight,
    Hugs,
