I was house bound for the past few weeks during the bitter cold , gloomy , dreary days , so I kept myself busy hooking away !
I always like the antique patterns with just one house , so I drew this out and it fits perfectly on an end table . I was trying to create a blotchy background , but that didn't come out as I had planned , I reverse hooked little sections and decided that was enough , it wasn't easy for me .
Then the other day Saundra posted some great antique rugs with hearts ....so I drew out this design to hook .The antique was a square , but I made mine a rectangle to fit a coffee table .
Lori Brechlin from Not Forgotten Farm posted a heart shaped candy box filled with her pretty Valdani threads . My heart went Pitter Patt again !!! I am a sucker for Hearts ! Saundra suggested it be great hooked ! So I traced out 3 different sized circles . Then yesterday started on the circles ....this is fun ! I am only using worms . I was afraid I would get bored , but I am really enjoying it !
Hope you are having fun hooking some Heart designs too !!!
The only heart project I did this year was making some from a vintage quilt. Cannot wait to see yours hooked. I do like the house one. Janice
ReplyDeleteThank you ...Love Vintage hearts too !
DeleteI love your house mat! It is truly old looking - so authentic with its soft muted colors. I'm sure your heart rug will be equally beautiful - and know you, you will have it hooked in time for Valentine's Day. Sadly, I've made nothing heart-related this season. Just didn't have the "heart" for it I guess. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteHaving a bad cold & feeling lousy helped me to hook away ! Have fun hooking your Stag !!!
DeleteThe house mat looks great and you did get some blotchy spots in so good for you. Looking forward to both heart rugs ~ the one in progress which you spoke about and the one you drew.
ReplyDeleteOH! and after I looked at Lori's heart filled threads thought it could also be a 'standing circle' filled heart. So whoever reads this comment may want to do that too. Have fun gals!!!!
I thought if I made standing circles that would take too much time ! Stitching all those down would take too much time for me !
DeleteMaybe I can get lots of blotches in the circle and heart design .
You have gotten so much hooking done. Yeah for you!!!
ReplyDeleteBlotchy is not easy for me, either. Saundra makes it look so easy...sigh. I guess she has had a lot more practice.
Saundra is so good at making her rugs look so nice and old .
DeleteI have been having fun hooking my heart out !!!
