JUST HANG'N AROUND

Months after hooking and binding these two rugs I've finally hung them on the wall.  Normally I'd be holding these until the rug show at Cape May but since that camp is not part of my September plans decided to put them on the wall.  Top rug is Magdalena's Bird Dog, below that is an antique adaptation I named Lisa's Horse since Lisa was the one who first requested I draw it for her.

My home is beginning to look like a hooked rug museum ~ that's fine with me so my work can be enjoyed every day instead of being rolled up and tucked away.  Uh, but there are still quite a few of those around here too.  

The rugs are to the right of where I sit and hook, notice the OTT light in the foreground.  In case you are wondering, I've posted how I hang rugs previously and you can read about it HERE.

Yeah, I know, I said this post would be an update on Cottage and Apple Tree but I just want to keep hooking on it.  Mary (the Comstock rug) keeps calling my name but am pretending not to hear her.

Happy hot as hades Monday and happy hooking.

In and Under the Weather

The state highway sprayed brine on the roads this afternoon in preparation for some white stuff and freezing temps.  Haven't heard how much will land but I don't plan on leaving the house tomorrow anyway.  Or at least hope not.

This whole week I've dealt with an intestinal bug of sorts.  I didn't have a temperature and felt sorta okay except for occasional stomach cramps and numerous trips to the potty.   If it didn't get better by tomorrow was going to visit the doctor.

Am slowly getting rid of my feed sacks; not only the decorative ones but even ones with names like Jack Frost, Layena and other company names.  Needed a break so don't have any listings this week but will go another round next Saturday. 

Put a couple small pieces on my wall next to what was there already.  Magdalena's Dog is waiting for me to reconfigure the adjoining wall to hang it and a couple other pieces.  It is fun to look at what I've hooked and not all of them I want for the floor.

I've hung my rugs in various ways.  These are actually hung using straight pins along the top and sides and works well.  This way when I want to rearrange something there is just a pin hole instead of a nail hole.

The primitive Annie doll I made several years ago and she is wearing my son's shoes from his childhood.  The heart pillow was hooked by Tonya Robel as well as that Fall Floral mat on the dough box.
