Hooking Room Tour ~ Part Two ~ & a Confession



I was asked what is the size of the hooking room.  It is just under 10' x 14'.  I know how to put 10# of stuff in a 5# bag :)

This antique table is where I cut my wool.  The light at that end of the room isn't good at night so I have a small Ott light to help.  (Lots of light during the day.)  Under the table is a basket of unwashed wool, much of which I hope to dye someday.



French laundry basket with some of my rugs.


Antique corner cupboard filled with "stuff".  It is in dire need of a good cleaning.   


Crazy quilt heart made by friend Julia in South Carolina.  We have been corresponding for years and we are going to meet in person this month.  Jennie from Over the Hill and Running blog will be driving up from Georgia to join us.  So much fun meeting blog friends.  I've met others in the past, and it is like meeting up with old friends.


A basket of worms and small pieces of wool that need sorting.


A few more of the rugs hanging on the walls.  Sorry they are so washed out.




On the floor.





Top of the tool chest/coffee table.


Now for my confession.  For the most part, this is what the room looks like (when it is clean which isn't often . . . sigh), but I did "stage" it a bit. My WIPs and other miscellaneous stuff was not included in the pictures.

March did not come in like a lion here in northern Ohio.  It was sunny but C.O.L.D.  Our 10 day forecast isn't looking too good, either.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    You have hooked a lot of beautiful rugs. How nice that your room is dedicated to your craft. My “stuff” is scattered across levels in my home so can be a scavenger hunt in itself. But then the hunt is half the fun. Thanks for sharing

    I want it all!!! Your cupboards are to die for. I love all the rugs, but think my faves are the hit or miss in front of the cutting table and the fat robin. Love the CQ heart by Julia. Can hardly wait for our meeting!!!

    I think it is such a fun room. I love everything and how you have it set up. Our forecast is rain until Saturday. Isn't that funny? Spring will be here before you know it.

    Thanks so much for the tour GF....I absolutely LOVE your space...and everything in it. Hopefully it will inspire me to get my space together and the stuff that isn’t supposed to be there outta there. What a prolific hooker you are!! YIKES...makes me feel very inadequate LOL. I absolutely adore that Robin mat!!! EEEEK! Beautiful heart from Julia... And I love your sweet little hook holder!! We are on a roll here in Nod....no (major) snow for at least 3 days now (although we did have a dusting last night and I guess the same tonight). Brutally cold, though, with lots of blowing and drifting..... ~Robin~
