Almost the end of October. How did that happen? I know, I know. I say that all the time but 2023 is flying by. We have had absolutely gorgeous weather, but that will be ending in a few days. It is only supposed to be in the low 40's for trick-or-treat. In Ohio, costumes must fit over winter coats!
My little Cammie Bruce pattern, Pair of Jacks, is bound 😁 I hope my next project goes a little more quickly.
Now on the frame, as Saundra would call it, is my plus one that she so generously drew up and gifted me. I will be taking it to the 2 day hook in tomorrow in Tipp City, about 3 hours south of me. I have pulled a few loops . . . very few. Pulling wool to take is next on my to-do list.
ATHA Magazine, in my opinion, is the best hooking magazine out there. ATHA (Association of Traditional Hooking Artists) is an international fellowship of artists that fosters individuality and diversity in rug hooking. The magazine is composed of articles written by ATHA members. They were asking for seasonal rugs, so I sent in a few pictures. I (wrongly) assumed my little mats would be included in an article along with other hooked rugs, but low and behold they gave me my own page. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I wasn't going to say anything, but since Saundra shared that I was in the magazine, several people who are not ATHA members and do not receive the magazine asked to see the page, so voila . . . here it is. More information on ATHA can be found at www.atharugs.com.
I had another sleepover with my favorite pug this week while daddy went to Michigan for the day.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
