More Hooked Projects

In 2010 I was still doing shows selling primitive dolls and hooked pieces and once again sold a rug really liked.  One day I'd like to replicate this antique again.

Saw the stag antique in one of my books so just had to make a chair pad.

 Shortly thereafter decided to hook a larger rug for the floor.  Think I prefer the gold colors.  

Also that year I hooked Magdalena's Dog and Crows.  I have a more correct color version of this without a flash but it is blurry.  So just know the colors appear more bright and washed out than they are.

At a class with Barb Carroll I hooked Brave Hunter which is offered by Woolley Fox.

Magdalena's McCue Eagle was another hooked that year and is presently at my front door.  Ditto what I said about a 'flash'.

Hooked purses were very popular at my shows and here is one that I hooked.  Cannot remember whose design it is and don't have time to research.

The scallop top was attractive so hooked another but with a crow.

Also 2010 I joined a challenge and didn't know the motif or rules until after signing up.  It ended up being an elf and the only thing I could think to do was make a jack-in-the-box style and made as a wall hanging.  But boy there were some VERY creative women who made magnificent pieces.  I'd hoped to sell it for a child's room at one of my shows...nope, still here, lol.

Hard to believe it is July 4th tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday.

CROWS

Yes, it's true that I love crows.  The story behind that is my sweet departed Rottweiler Panzer, the son of Shumba.  We bred Shumba once, she had 8 pups which all lived, strange for a first litter.  We sold 7 and kept Panzer.  

Panzer was the sweetest most gentle goofy boy dog ever.  I used to tell my ex he was a jokster.  He'd run thru the field grab a wild flower and run at his mother hoping she'd chase him down for it.  I'm getting off track here.

Anyway, Panzer also thought he could fly because when a crow would caw and fly nearby he'd run and leap as tho he would sprout wings and catch it.  Then the attraction to crows began.

1 Crow Bad News

2 Crows Mirth

3 Crows a wedding

4 Crows a Birth

5 Crows riches

6 Crows a thief
7 Crows a journey

8 Crows a grief
9 Crows a secret

10 crows sorrow

11 Crows love ~~ uh, I'd like to know where that love is??? 

12 Crows a good tomorrow.  But the poem doesn't have a 13th crow so maybe that is where my love went, lol.

Yes, I hooked all of those and actually have another couple Magdalena rugs which also had a crow in them but didn't post.  

Have a great evening.
