One thing happening today (Saturday the 15th) is the start of the Granny Donaldson hook-along. Sheila and Elaine are the adventurous ones who are drawing their own version of a Granny inspired mat using favorite motifs.
Yesterday Sheila sent me a photo of her drawn pattern and designed it with a special meaning in mind. I'm sure the Angel and heart play a big part and what a wonderful way for her to reenter the joy of rug hooking.
And speaking more about Elaine.....it feels like a continuation of my never-ending birthday because sweet Elaine sent me this package from Canada ~ her handknitted socks and several types of tea.
On this cold Saturday the wool socks will keep me warm as I stay inside and hook on my Granny mat. And yes, that is one big honking bunion you see on my right foot.
Happy Saturday and happy hooking. Its not too late for you to join us you know, if you wanted to review the Granny Donaldson Cow Blanket designs previously posted, click HERE.

Oh those socks are Beautiful !!!! Nice & toasty too ! Sorry about your bunion ....why do we get such weird things ??? UGH !!!
ReplyDeleteLove Sheila's design with the angel ! And Elaine's is beautiful too ! What a neat idea for the flower !!!
These gals are tempting me !!!! LOL
I like Sheila's designs on her own pattern, with the angel, the baby and the little heart. It has a meaning of love and family. Elaine also added her own twist with the off-set potted flower. Hot tea and warm socks is a very thoughtful gift on this cold day. We are in a deep freeze and and the wind is relentless today with drifting snow.
ReplyDeleteHope tour tootsies are warm and toasty in those lovely socks.
Hugs, Julia
Those socks are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was one year ago today I had my bunion surgery. Mine was not nearly as large as yours and I had a difficult time with shoes. I hope yours does not bother you.
Let's hear it for Sheila and Elaine!!! Looking forward to watching everyone's progress.
