Live Life, Love Hooking

Off to the shopping malls today with a Christmas gift card in hand, I'm now the proud owner of more bras and panties than one person needs. I have a new pair of pants that are long enough and a polar fleece sweater ( as the temp. drops down here by the day) and last but not least a "new dining room light fixture" I can see my wool that is still all piled up in the dining room as the basement studio is not hold for the drywall guy, everyone knows the story of 'the guy' as they hold you for ransom.

The words on the rug will stand out with the lighter colored background, I have know idea where the inspiration for this rug came from originally I was doing a earth tone primitive but this bright recycled blue for the flowers changed my mind. The colors I've been drawn to are softer than first plan so this will be a wall hanging for my bedroom. Size is approx. 38 X 18.

Live Life , LOVE..........

Update on my rug today, can you guess the last word? I have all the flowers completed also and started around the edging.

Live Life,,,,,,,,,,,

Update on my rug hooking - two more words " Live Life" , sneak peak of the Flowers on the left side, color planning the background this week also.

I was too lazy to dye wool last night and had to work a little bit.

New House for Christmas

This is a pattern that Nancy helped design for our friend Grace, she is hoping to get this done for Christmas, this pattern is her son's home I will update you if she comes in to visit this week. I have to dye the Sky Blue for her I actually named it Gracie Sky Blue because that is the color she always picks for her skies. No sensing changing a good thing I guess.

I'm been sick so not alot of Blogging this week.

The ladies are coming today

Today's lunch hour is going to be a design and plan session with some locate ladies, I missed last weeks rug design session being in bed sick.

You know I was down to the City this week for a training session all the good techy stuff is in the City of course and I can't imagine living there anymore. No one says Hello or looks you in the eye walking in a store or along the road and the traffic GOD it's just plain pushy.

Trips to the City just make me enjoying the little things like some older ladies giggling about there rugs and new wool colors to dye probably. Which reminds me I better get cracking on my colors for the purse pattern.

Next Piece of the Puzzle

Now that we know that this rug pattern is a Dog, April guessed it. What type of dog ?hummmmmm

If you knew my mother's favorite type of dog this would be easy.

Other Oldie

Another oldie to share, and another oldie to try to fix, the second photo shows a previous fix but there is still more work to do. The third photo show a hole right beside the yellow flower.

My Little Helper assisting the process

My dog Libby loves to help with our rug designs, shown here she is bringing a toy to the project as my mother cuts some burlap off the bolt. Don't look at the mess in the background the kids were over to visit and I haven't cleaned up yet.
