Rugs ~

Even though I was going to put Shady Spot aside a couple days ago, I have hooked some more of the background.  I did get the left eye on both horses done, but still am not too happy with them and will leave for the time being.   Now for sure it will be set aside to take to the hook in at the end of the month.  I really love those funky horses!

I started this rug in a class with Cathy Stephan in May of 2023.  Primitive Horse & Birds is an antique adaptation by Jan Cole, the Wool 'n Gardener.  I have only pulled a few (very few!) loops on it since.  I suppose it is finally time to get back to it.  It is VERY large for me (45" x 36") and it is the first time I am hooking in a 10 cut.  I shouldn't hook something so large as I don't have spot to display it.

A couple closer ups . . . 

Sitting on my porch yesterday, I had a very unhappy squirrel.  I think he didn't want me invading his space 😁

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Busy Week Ahead ~

The next few weeks are crazy busy, but doing fun stuff.  Next week I have two hooking classes.  Tuesday and Wednesday is a class with Nola Heidbreder.  I have chosen to hook her pattern American Clipper.  I will be hooking the small version which is 22 1/4" x 16".  Hopefully I will get it hooked and bound to give as a Christmas gift.

Thursday and Friday I will be in a class with Caroline Twigg of Eagles' Nest Woolens.  I've had Caroline before and she is lots of fun.  I will be hooking Vintage Blossoms, a pattern by Payton Primitives, purchased from Heavens to Betsy.  It measure 22" x 29".

Saturday is my guild's hook in.  I have volunteered for several duties throughout the day so no hooking will be done.  Unfortunately (???) I will find time to shop.  We have a great line up of vendors including the Wool Studio and the Wool'n Gardener.

And I wonder why I can't get anything done at home . . . sigh.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
