RUG HOOKING CHIT CHAT

Completed sewing the labels on all rugs with the exception of 1870 Horse which is shown below.  You probably noticed there is still that open spot on the side of the horse.  I haven't decided if I want to hook the salmon color in there like the original or fill in with light wool.  More than likely I'll stay somewhat true to the antique with the salmon color but perhaps not as large an area.

Have already hung Shadow Sleigh Ride on the wall above Mother with Fishbowl.  

I think they are better companion pieces than the whimsical rug which was there before.

Michelle has finished her project from the Hearts Hook-along which began October 1st.  Michelle is her mother's caretaker who has dementia, thus her choice of design was the heart in hand.  Am sure this has been therapeutic and beneficial for both ladies as her mother looked on while Michelle hooked.  

Snow is melting and the lake is back in my woods.  At least it isn't rock hard thick snow-white ice that lasted 3 weeks. But so many limbs have snapped and some still dangling big limbs will need to be severed eventually. Hard to believe it will be near 50 tomorrow.  Insane weather, but I'll gladly take the 50 rather than snow and ice.

Happy hooking.
