Dayton is the home of Orville and Wilbur Wright and the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This is the second time I have attended a 2 day hooking event hosted by Ali Strebel, Jo Wick, Jenny Smallridge and Chrisi Koehl. This little get-away did not disappoint. The above mentioned hookers each have a hooking business and offer the most wonderful goods. One could easily go broke there!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ali is set to teach at the Crooked River Rug Hooking Guild in June. I had absolutely no intention of signing up. Our hooking styles are at the total opposite ends of the spectrum. I use wool. I pull loops. The end. Ali, on the other hand . . . uses wool, pulls loops AND adds needle felting, couching, quillies, sari ribbon and other alternative fibers. I am sure there is more 😁 So while Ali was giving her little talk she showed this little "memory" mat.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7xIfeiLEQBb_V8lydlkoXZZefiqUJ0vLA_fvWdhJ3vQsjrjPeBCnLqEFYFM6AlrrUV2o9Zqe-podJYPl17efZaMbOdZRwJW3nFto5ZVB_LFK6HS_7SIonlL6DxJx8A44vFW6vhhYquElSOKLZ-v1pNNTbXzjONKlZ1VXz1_dQb2TNQ6ZfcS60Q9Kyw0SW/s4032/IMG_5436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7xIfeiLEQBb_V8lydlkoXZZefiqUJ0vLA_fvWdhJ3vQsjrjPeBCnLqEFYFM6AlrrUV2o9Zqe-podJYPl17efZaMbOdZRwJW3nFto5ZVB_LFK6HS_7SIonlL6DxJx8A44vFW6vhhYquElSOKLZ-v1pNNTbXzjONKlZ1VXz1_dQb2TNQ6ZfcS60Q9Kyw0SW/w400-h300/IMG_5436.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">I thought, "Hey, I can do that and change the date to something meaningful for me!".

It was an inexpensive one found on eBay. I tried it and hated it. It did not hold my linen taut and it being octagonal in shape, the work area was very small. (It was not the more pricey octagonal frame many hookers rave about.) I eventually sold it and never tried another floor frame, although I know there are great ones out there. My Snapdragon frame has me spoiled. I really need to see about getting it put on a stand. Anywho . . . I digress. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A couple years ago a local hooker asked if I would like an Ault floor frame or if I knew anyone who could use one. I can't say no to any free hooking supplies. This person was no longer hooking and had taken the frame to Goodwill and they would not accept it. She was told they did not need any more furniture. She tried in vain to explain it was not a piece of furniture, but it fell on deaf ears. I am thrilled to have been her second choice. The frame sat in my attic until last week. I knew this rug I am working on was going to get quite heavy, so decided to take the frame for a "test hook". It is a learning curve but I am doing ok. The work area is so much larger than I am used to (about 14" x 22" vs 10 1/2" x 13") and since I only hook in one direction, sometimes my arms just aren't long enough. It doesn't keep the linen as taut as my Snapdragon, but I am making it work.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdO3ub9GaR-7EfUhm4pP20O55zucNQKYRTYA5huvWft0ECc8AdYvKO9J2OqaGMsJBH4xVtk1YGsa-Lq92OpZ6N_J-4_J5KvsIAbYt2wdkU4emYkItnyoMWmj8LmpUhGOWrvPJvNBbpYY25t-o_ZPLIDzWpT8B1fd6_SDc88mOgOhyKn6q7DxexKFQxoEtL/s4032/IMG_E5423.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdO3ub9GaR-7EfUhm4pP20O55zucNQKYRTYA5huvWft0ECc8AdYvKO9J2OqaGMsJBH4xVtk1YGsa-Lq92OpZ6N_J-4_J5KvsIAbYt2wdkU4emYkItnyoMWmj8LmpUhGOWrvPJvNBbpYY25t-o_ZPLIDzWpT8B1fd6_SDc88mOgOhyKn6q7DxexKFQxoEtL/w400-h300/IMG_E5423.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have hooked 21 of the 45 circles but have not yet started on any background.

I thought easy peasy, I would just add another long row (for a total of 5) and 2 shorter rows (for a total of 9). Let's just say it did not go as planned. I got the pattern transferred to screen all wonky but thought I could transfer to the linen without issue. WRONG! I got it about 85% transferred when I discover my rows were too off. More than an inch and a half off in some cases. Nobody else probably would have noticed, but I knew I would never be happy . . . so I turned the linen over and started again. This darn thing took me hours to transfer, measuring and re-measuring. The size of my rug will be 27 1/2" x 45 1/2", which for me is H.U.G.E. I am hoping it is going to be a real worm buster!!!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6pDwbaMGLw0s_VjLtTLkAF6N6eWwMdOBYdjV5xq_UUxB-ldsCH3ZqjtWMWCAQfj-F1OGKsDFh8UGi39lI7-bghmANv6onPb1J6jScVQKL-QDLbdHnqraOhPk6wl2wT_lEBFFLAUmECdqBlEWiv0hZImOIM8HJqX2C3PnOKMjcClyFP4LewcKFkthsdzp/s4032/IMG_5394.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6pDwbaMGLw0s_VjLtTLkAF6N6eWwMdOBYdjV5xq_UUxB-ldsCH3ZqjtWMWCAQfj-F1OGKsDFh8UGi39lI7-bghmANv6onPb1J6jScVQKL-QDLbdHnqraOhPk6wl2wT_lEBFFLAUmECdqBlEWiv0hZImOIM8HJqX2C3PnOKMjcClyFP4LewcKFkthsdzp/w300-h400/IMG_5394.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are a total of 45 circles and my goal is too hook 2 a day and hopefully some background.

I know it falls early this year, and here is what I found in a search.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Easter, the annual Christian celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection, can fall anywhere from March 22 to April 25.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Easter as early as March 22 is very rare. The last time it happened was 1818, the the next time will be 2285. Easter last fell on the latest date in 1943, and will again in 2038.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How the date is determined sounds simple, but is pretty complex. Generally, Easter is observed on the Sunday following the first full moon in the Northern Hemisphere, or the first full moon after the vernal equinox March 20.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But astronomical observations depend on where you are in the world, so a table is used to set the date ever year."</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">More than you wanted to know, right?</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that rabbits are known to live in a colony, warren, fluffle or herd?

I have spent countless hours on the phone or texting with Samsung. When they scheduled today's service call and assured me the door really was in (I had heard that song & dance before), I did not believe them. I was sure they were going to cancel once again, but miracle of miracles, they came with a new door panel ~ in the correct stainless finish. Now, the only issue is that the kickplate, for whatever reason, can't be attached below the door. ARGH! Hopefully DSO will be able to come up with a solution. I do NOT want to deal with Samsung ~ ever again ~ if I can avoid it.

We were felting a little "love nest". I got one heart done . . . with the help of the teacher. I was having difficulty getting the heart's "butt crack" to be defined enough. The heart is about 1.5" tall and the nest about 3.25" in diameter. The nest still needs more felting and another heart begun. This took almost 3 hours!!! I can't imagine how long it takes to make one of those very realistic animals some people felt.

It was worse than it appears in the picture! I hope to get it semi-organized. I bought a couple more shelves. I didn't measure exactly . . . just figured I had plenty of room. WHEW! If the shelves were 1/2" longer, they would not have fit. I am finding things that haven't seen the light of day in years. Maybe if I can get it half way organized I will be able to find something when I am looking for it. Some stuff is leaving the house!!! But of course not enough. I am doing a little each day.
