Hook-y stuff ~

Head on over to Sue's blog to see all the fun rugs from today's Hook & Thread Society get together.  So much talent in just a few hookers.

I finally finished my Classic Santa, a pattern by Donna Hrkman color planned in her class last July.  I am happy to say I finished the hooking in 2025 ~ just barely.

I had the hardest time deciding what color to use on the top left light section.  The wool that was chosen when I took it to the hooking shop to ask for help just seemed too bright.

I wasn't sure what wool to change it to, but thought I would take the easiest route first and coffee stain it.  I made a small amount of instant coffee and painted it on.  Much better.

I needed a narrow rug to hang next to an antique cupboard in the dining room.  I had hooked this in 2018 and given it to a friend.  

It was the perfect size, I already had it on screen ready to transfer to linen, and needing a no brainer hooking project, got busy.  It is Maple Sugar Hearts by Barb Carroll found in one of her books.  The one heart near the bottom may need to be hooked with a lighter red.

Even though it's almost 9pm, back to un-decorating!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
