I'll bet the only word your eyes and mind remember is the word 'giveaway', lol. What is it about giveaways that grabs us and won't let go? Because people (me included) like things for free.
This is an antique adaptation originally hooked in 1890 which I call "Two Roosters Facing". I hooked and sold this rug a few years ago when my last name started with an "S" (just can't seem to spell or say the name).
The first drawing seemed a little smaller than I wanted so drew it out again a bit larger and hooked this one. Which means I still have the first one drawn.
The first one measures 16" x 29" and is drawn on hairless linen. Now before you all get giddy and excited let me tell you that there is something else drawn on the other side. Not wanting a piece of linen to go to waste I drew something else which I'd intended to hook.
My intentions were to hook that old vehicle which was mine to drive when I was a teen. Mind you that was 1958 and all my friends had fan tailed Chevys or Fords and I had this ancient black car. So to spiff it up I put bright school bus yellow polka dots all over it. My dad worked for the DuPont company and those dots were used to put on the floor for safety areas. Daddy had some and thought I'd make my vehicle stand out.
Well, stand out it did. I could not drive that car anywhere without mother and daddy hearing from people that, "I saw your daughter in Milton yesterday", or where ever it was that the car was seen.
I'd still like to hook that 'old thang' but other designs have over powered it. So the Two Roosters facing or the vehicle is yours to hook.
I will make the drawing on Monday morning. Here are the few rules:
~ state you want to win the give away in the comments section
~ be a follower
~ no anonymous or 'no-reply' identification
~ shipping to US only
Good luck to all of you and enjoy your weekend.
