Hook-y stuff ~

 

My hooking is all over the place.  I can't seem to concentrate on any one project.  I have not pulled even one loop on my camp rug since returning home.

While waiting for my turn with the teacher at camp, I almost got this red hand torn heart hooked that will be turned into a small pillow.  I also hooked a very neutral one upon return home.

I started hooking some small hearts that I will stuff and sit in an old bedspring to hopefully sell at the antique/primitive show I am vending at in April along with Sue.  My goal is to hook one a day for a week.

Maple Sugar Hearts that I started weeks ago is nearing completion.  I think I want one more row of border and not sure if the heart on the right, second from the bottom needs to be changed.  It is showing up brighter in the pic than it really is.

And finally, Katie Hartner of the Woolley Fox is teaching a class on Facebook on mastering values.  We chose one of nine chairpad patterns.  We had a class on Saturday and will have another next Saturday.  Perhaps I am overthinking my color choices and agonizing over them.  I am working only from my worm stash.  Here's the progress on my eagle.  I am happy with him so far.

The four letter word I do like is HOOK.

We got much less snow than many other areas, but love this little vignette by the garage.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

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.
