Hooked Items #4

Obviously my records of what was hooked when has been discombobulated...at best.  So what I'll do is show rugs I've hooked beginning from 2007 forward but not commit myself to an accurate year.  

There are so many... I mean we are talking another 10 years worth here folks.  So after today will take a break then give an update on the Gossip rug. Then, if you aren't too bored for me to continue showing rugs I've hooked will resume at a later date.

Below was a Semper Fi design kit Polly Minick offered with proceeds to help wounded military.

That year I also hooked 1847 Turkey which was offered in a Needl'le Love booklet.

I was spellbound by a Kindred Spirits pattern named Crow Sampler so purchased the pattern.

Then when I began to hook it decided to make a change and put the border all the way around.  Here is the way I hooked it. 

During 2007 going thru a devastating divorce, rug hooking wasn't as much a pleasure as perhaps a way to make ends meet at shows.  So started hooking smalls, try to sell them and kits at shows.  I'd demonstrate hooking and try to sell my dolls. 

Here is one such small design I developed.  There were others but this is one I found easily.

Another Polly Minick design I hooked was Patriotic Sandpails.

I think Small Flowerbox, a design by Karen Kahle,  was my salvation to work on after my divorce.  There were small motifs to hook and finish, flowers to start and finish.  This helped keep me focused and take one step at a time.

Okay chickadees, I think you've probably had enough of my boring rug show for a while.  There are several years yet to go so will save them and come back to 'real time'.

Happy Friday.
