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.

  1. Love Michellle's special heart challenge . Her blue colors are so pretty .
    There is another possibility for a storm heading our way ....I want to cry !!! No more snow !!!
    I think you should skip the pink design in your horse , what if you just made a darker shade of the color you are hooking now ? Then it wouldn't jump out to you ???
    Nice your snow is melting , I can't wait for 50 degree days !!!

    Michelle’s rug came out great. Hopefully, I can see it in person on Sunday.

  4. Oh...yes! The sleigh-ride piece looks absolutely wonderful with your mother and fish bowl piece!!! The colors in each compliment the other so beautifully. 50ยบ??? Seriously?? Wow. We're supposed to warm up a bit....but still single digits overnight and I'm still cold all over.
