Patriotic hooking ~

Hooking seems to be in slow motion, but the mats I needed to hook for gifts and door prizes are almost done.  I just need to finish up this one and then hopefully I can get back to my deer rug ~ started in January ~ and finish the darn thing before a class in June.

This is actually the third flag mat I have hooked.  Such an easy hook.  

These two mats were door prizes for the Western Reserve hook in last Saturday.  I was pleased with sales so I was a happy hooker.

Had the hand re-X-rayed yesterday.  I am healing well, but though anticipated, when the ortho doctor said three more weeks in the brace, I almost cried.  It is so limiting . . . but still thankful not a hip or shoulder.  But darn!!!  It is going to be a long three weeks 😢

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hook-y Happenings ~

 

The little patriotic pieces are finished ~ even labeled ~ and two have been delivered to their new homes.

And finally!!!  The binding on Madi's Favorite is done at long last.  It has been steamed once again.  It just needs a label.  I suppose it is time to put the forsythia away for something more summerlike. 

Scaredy Cat was a fast hook.  It is ready for binding.  It is small, just 9" x 11 3/4".  It was a free pattern offered by Lindsay Bowles on Facebook.  (Sorry.  I looked for a link to the pattern and cannot find it.)  

My rug that will be in Sauder's rug show is ready to be started.  I got some ideas on color planning (from the oh so talented Connie of Connie's Wool), but even though small, I think I may struggle with this little rug a bit.  It is something out of my norm.  I will share when I've got something worth showing.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
