Time on a Frame

A few weeks ago I drew out a pattern and was gung-ho to hook it.  Was to be an early start for a Christmas gift and even brought wool to start it.  Looked at the pattern on my frame and had absolutely no interest.  See guys, I've told you before I'm a fickle hooker.  Believe me now?? lol

So I drew another design and have started it but taking my time.  Already I've ripped out hooked areas about 3 times.  Finally decided to just hook what I know, keep going until I can look at it with fresh eyes later. 

But at least I'm interested in this one. 

Happy hooking.

New Project

Sorry I've been MIA but had a pattern to draw and eBay sales to pack/ship and new listings.  Oh, and a bit of a conflict with PayPal which was time consuming.  So here ya go....a partial view of my new rug in progress.  

Short but sweet post so now gotta run to do errands before I can pull more loops.

Magdalena Dog

I've not really made a lot of headway with my new project but I am savoring every loop I pull.  Plus, I'm in no hurry to finish it as there is no deadline.  Well, I say in no hurry ~ but I wanted to hurry and hook at least some flowers before I posted a picture so it would look like there was progress.  Yet, since life gets in the way ( you know the boring stuff like vacuuming up wool dust, dog hair, laundry.... yawn...) then I didn't get as much accomplished as I'd hoped. 

I'm still working thru what wools to use on what I have here (uh, like I don't have enough to choose from).  For this Magdalena I'm not going to try and emulate what she did for her original.  I did try to keep close colors to her other three rugs I hooked. 

However, I am trying to make the rug look old and like it was hooked using wools that 'She' had.  Heck, all women like Magdalena used whatever they had.... they had to use it up, make do or do without.  Just love the areas of change of color in the body of her animals and this dog.
