3 Little Bears, complete


This rug is complete with the Sky Blue married into the other blues in the sky. I like the plaid pants on Father Bear LOL. Marilyn is a little camera shy but she is here showing her beautiful BlueNose Rug Print.

Summer Flowers




Thought I'd share this beautiful rug pattern designed and hooking by Marilyn B. , Marilyn was at a Deanne Fitzpartick Workshop recently and created this beautiful rug. You might notice that this rug is mounted on a board and is going to be hung over her doorway. Deanne has a way of bring the best inspiration and creativity out of people.

Loonie, she is coming along nicely

Gracie was in to visit with her Loon Rug Pattern, I think she has done an excellent job to-date. As I mentioned earlier she is using the dip dyed from Teal to Burundy Red. The Loon is in a Recycled Pattern with the outline in Black. She hooked his eye in a brown/orange color with white. We have picked out my #22 Blue for the lower water area.

Dip Dip and Dry



Step One: Dip the Teal, I run out of this color and had to dye more this weekend. Hope I get it close in color.






Step Two: Dye the other side, just a little bit at first to get an orange softer color and leave the tails in the water to soak up extra color.



Off to the Clothes Line, it was warm enough here today to dry outside. Notice the piece on the right side I used a little of the red to overdye this one, yummmy.....

Loon on the Water



Gracie has her wool that I dyed and Nancy helped her get the pattern on, this pattern is designed from the Loon on the Water money bank shown in an early posting, the shape is landscape with a basic border on Scottish Burlap. I will update the Blog if Gracie comes back with her rug.

Three Bears



Remember the story of the 3 Bears, everyone remembers that one. I have several photos of this pattern hooking with different colors and shading. We had to dye some Sky Blue for this lady to finish her rug. I like the green along the bottom with the little white flowers.

Rug Hooked Purse

Photo of this unique little purse, it's of a birdhouse with flowers along the bottom, this was a lady at my house today and I said "o can I take a picture of your purse?" she looked at me confused at first but was also impressed that I asked her. Thanks Marilyn.

Frog Update


I'll show you my little bit of work done on the frog pattern, the border outlined and I'm filling it in now. There are some girls coming to the house today, I'm hoping they will bring me updates on their projects.
