FINALLY!

Primitive Chickens, a 12" x 36" pattern by Hooked on the Lake is finally finished.  It was started in a class with Katie Hartner of the Woolley Fox on March 16.  For whatever reason I continually drug my feet and would only spend a short time each day working on it.  It's not like I was hooking something else at the same time!  I am just glad it is done.  Now on to the least favorite part (right Saundra?) prepping for binding, steaming and then binding.  I don't think the binding fairy will show up and do it for me.  I know there are people who finish rugs for a price, but I am too cheap to even consider that.  I'd rather use that $$ to buy more wool 😁  Lousy color as usual . . . but the feet/legs do show up a little better in person.

For you cat lovers . . .

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Meeting Myself Coming and Going ~

My class in Pennsylvania with Katie Hartner of the Woolley Fox was THE BEST!  I would highly recommend if you ever get the chance to take a class from her, jump on the opportunity.

Most of the students in the class were working on HUGE rugs and I was working on a weenie 12" x 36" rug.  The first day I made great progress . . . and this was even after totally rehooking his tail.

Days 2 & 3 I was a real slacker.  I thought I would at least be at the halfway mark.  I was close . . . but not close enough.

I think I need to work on the comb a bit.  It is pretty lost against the background.

Sue and I went a day early and stopped at a few shops in PA.  The one antique mall that was recommended - Laughlintown Antique Mall - was incredible!!!  One of the best antique malls I have ever been to.  Not one of the huge mega-malls, just a nice size with incredible antiques.  I could have totally spent my kids' inheritance 😁 (but I'm purging, remember?).  I did buy a few gifts, a couple pieces of antique coverlet and a cast iron eagle to join my growing collection.

We then headed to the Flight 93 Memorial.  Sadly the GPS was not cooperating, steered us wrong because of a detour and we arrived at the visitor center 5 minutes before closing 😒

Thursday morning I am heading to southern Ohio for a two day hook in.  Nothing for many months and then two hook-y things in a week and a half.

Be sure to check Sue's blog to see what she was hooking!  She was also hooking something small, but it is just beyond gorgeous!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
