Horse's A**

Finally!!!  I found/made some time to pull a few loops on my horse rug from my recent Cathy Stephan class.  And guess what part of the horse I was working on 😁😁😁

Tomorrow is the last of my vending for the year.  There were a few things that did not get done.  Oh, well.  Oh, hell.  I've been stressed enough and decided not to add to it.  Now I hope to find more time to hook!!!

Here I am . . . feeling a little blue.  A blue pumpkin I hooked several years ago with hand torn strips.  It is about 13" x 13".

I am no quilter, but here is my attempt at a patchwork back.


If you'd like a chance to call this pumpkin your own, leave a comment on this post or send me an email with give-away in the subject line.  Please, no sharing on any social  media.  One simple rule.  The winner must contact me within three days to claim.  (Apologies to my northern friends.  Due to shipping costs, this is open to U.S. residents only.)  A winner will be chosen next Friday.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

    I had to take a second look at your horse's rear end. My initial thought, this looks more like a male dog rear end until I realized the tail was only partially done. I guess I wasn't very quick-witted this time. lol.

    Your blue pumpkin looks mighty nice. I know the price of shipping is getting ridiculous. I sent a small bubble envelope to Africa and it cost me $14.+.

    Take care and stay safe and well.
    Hugs,
    Julia

    I sure loved your title of this post! The A is looking good for being an "A". LOL I sure would love to win a Lauren hooked anything. Thanks for doing this. Good luck at your last vend. I created a new snowman today. Have to get the store ready for Christmas Nov. 1st. So much to do and so little time to do it in. Hope you have a mighty fine weekend. Janice

    I love your pumpkin and the patchwork back makes it folk artsy!! You enjoy your rest and rug hooking, sometimes we just need to unwind and do the things that we love to do to sooth our souls. Happy Fall!

    Good heavens seems time has just flown by and am late to an event, lol. Well of course I'd LOVE to be added to the giveaway of your beautiful blue pumpkin. The horse's butt is looking wonderful as is your first real great work at doing an antique adaptation. This will probably be my very favorite of your works.

    Good luck to those entering! It's so cute and a Lauren Puggy Ruggy is an heirloom item! I laughed so hard at the end of the horse you're working on, don't know why but it's hilarious. A "big insult" in our house growing up was that someone was "Acting like the south end of a north-bound mule." LOL.

    I love your work and you did a great job on the patch work backing. Enjoy our fall( albeit hot and humid) weather and relax for a bit.

    I got out all of my fall things and I have my pumpkin on my living room table. I love it so much. I love looking at your handy work.
    I like your blue pumpkin very much too.
    I hope to get back to hooking now that I am home.
