Janice, Prims by the Water, has her cupboard scapes so will show my window scape. I hook beside a window so at night sitting under an OTT light I'm very noticeable and don't want to be. Previously I've been hanging a dark cloth to cover the window. But today I purchased curtain clips and will hang various rugs in that space to hide my visibility and to enjoy another rug when it is changed out. You can see it is dusk thru the top part of the window.
It's slim pickings finding antique rugs during the Christmas season. Guess I won't be able to find any until January. Even then perhaps many would be sold. So next old rug show will probably be the leftovers which didn't make the first cut for the team or second pick. But do have more on my flash drive, just not the A listers.
Happy hooking, happy shopping, gift wrapping or whatever is keeping you busy as Christmas approaches.

Great idea! I do wonder what my neighbors would think i'm doing, since nobody knows what rug hooking is where I live.
ReplyDeleteCan you put together a show for old rugs that might be a good candidate for hand torn? Not always easy to find.
How ironic! That is the rug I’ve decided to hook at my upcoming rug camp. I hope mine comes out half as old looking as yours!
ReplyDeleteLots keeping me busy today…after I get off this iPad!
That is a nice idea to hang your rug like a curtain !!! I had my 6 year old twins here today , they are so excited for Santa to come ! Tomorrow my daughter and her family arrive can't wait !!! We will all be together Christmas Morning !!
ReplyDeleteHave a Very Merry Christmas Saundra !!
That’s a clever solution to your privacy issue while giving you something wonderful to look at
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You might end up having to hook a bunch of new rugs just to fit that window space. Your deer rug is a perfect fit there. My Ott light died several weeks ago. I'm so sad as it was one of the decorative lamp types (so it fit in without looking like a utility lamp). They are no longer made and, apparently, neither are the replacement bulbs. GRRRRR
ReplyDeleteGreat peeping tom preventer and way to display rugs. Clever!! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteA great idea indeed! I love that you are going to have a window scape. The first rug you picked is perfect for your space too. Merry Christmas! Janice
