DOING A HAPPY DANCE

I am one happy hooker.... first, and foremost, finally that wicked wug is done!!!!!!!!!!!!  Don't get me wrong, I love the design (an adaptation of one of Polly's Semper Fi rugs), but when it came to just the border and background to do I was bored to tears.  So it is DONE!!!!  Yippee, doing the happy dance again.

Now that I've looked at this picture can see that perhaps I used more lighter value blue in the left side border than the rest ~ but, uh, do you think I'm ripping any out and re-hooking it?  Not on your life baby!  It is staying like this.  And it could also be that there was more shadow on the right, but any way I'm not ripping out wool.


The other reason I'm a happy hooker and still doing a happy dance is that I finally purchased myself another hooker treat..... one I swore I'd not spend money on..... the Euro Steam iron.

After talking to my pal Char, who has one and swears by it, started to reconsider the purchase of one.  But $210 seemed like an awful lot of money to steam rugs so yesterday went on my search for prices.  I found one on Amazon.com for $149 and was still hesitant so before I ordered wanted to inquire with other hookers to see if, since it was made in China, if there were any issues or problems with it.  So far good replies from those who answered.  Went back to the Amazon.com site and there were no more left....HA, ya think?  At that price?  No wonder they were gone.  Okay, back to the hunt again and more research and then found another Euro Steam iron and did the purchase immediately, without hesitation, did not go past GO, did not collect $200, and I'll have it in a couple days.  And, got it for a good price as well.  Heck, I just might pull out all my rugs and steam them all over again.


I'd be very interested to know who of you own one and what your thoughts are on it's quality.... and if you use tap or distilled water in yours.


Thanks for stopping by.
