Horsin' Around at the Lake ~

 
Horsin' Around at the Lake is already just a fond memory.  What a fun time.  Katie Allman is THE BEST.  {{Love you Katie.}}  If you ever get a chance to take a class from Katie, you won't be sorry.  She is one of the sweetest, funniest hookers (or persons) you will ever meet.  You just never know what to expect from her.  Though I've been home since late morning, the day has slipped away, so I will share rugs from the throw down since they are on my camera.  I need to transfer pictures from my phone to my desktop which for me is a real challenge.  If I know the who hooked the rug, I will have it under the picture.  I am sorry I don't know who hooked some of them.

Connie ~ our overachiever.  She hooked this in a day and a half. 
If she didn't have to leave early, I'm sure she would have finished it.

My rug.  Eke and Zeke from Spruce Ridge Studios.  It is much more muted in person and I still need to finish the face.  I'm not happy with the nose and mouth.  The green background is the dye formula that Saundra shared on her blog.  I liked it so much on her two Halloween rugs, I decided to be a copy cat.  Friday I thought I might be able to finish it, but I just wasted too much time on Saturday.

 
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

  6. You really got a lot done for horsing around the Lake and having fun. It sounds like you had more fun that is allowed. Thanks for sharing the rug show with us. I'm amazed on how many names you remembered to go with the rugs.

    I hope that you have a great week Lauren. Can't believe Autumn starts today... I'm flying home tomorrow evening.
    Hugs,

  11. I have been finding all sorts of "hobbies" since I had to retire. Started with beading, then went to quilting and felting. Now I'm intrigued with the rug hooking I've been seeing online. We did rugs back in the 60's, but they were called "latch hook" and we used yarn cut into 3 inch lengths and hooked them thru the backing with a knot. These are apparently a lot different. But I like these better and they are much prettier.
