My Hydrangeas and a New Shelf to Hang Hooked projects !!!

              My husband has made this great shelf to hang my hooked projects ! 

I glued on Velcro to the lower section of the shelf ....then I sewed the opposite piece of Velcro to the back of my hooked Hydrangeas.

 

It will be nice and easy to change my hooked pieces for the seasons ! 

Here is a side view of the shelf ....

My husband makes these tiny houses and creates this cute little scene ....he makes a winter scene too with snow on the houses & trees & has a tiny snowman next to a house .  Perfect for this nifty shelf !!! 

If anyone is interested in a shelf , my husband would be Happy to make them for you , we use nice authentic colors of paint and can make them the length you would like . We also sell the house rows he makes ! 

I found a Good Size Rug to Hook !!!! And a few small patterns to hook ......

 I have been busy hooking away .... I found a great " Big Girl " rug to hook a few weeks ago . It was at Heavens To Betsy's April Hook In .  It is By Red Barn Rugs , the name of it is called "Colleen" .  It is the largest rug I have hooked in years , it is 40 inches wide by 28 and one and a half inches tall.  Friends offered me some great worms to use, because I didn't have enough ...this was really fun hooking the background . .My dog and Grand Kids have all laid down on it , was so funny , they love how it feels . 

I also was given this cute little Sheep pattern by Heavens To Betsy . It was a nice break while doing the "Big" rug ..... It is only 16 inches wide by 13 inches tall. I pulled the loops up a little higher for his body.  I will make this into a pillow. 

Then a friend gave me this pattern of a Pitcher with Flowers paper pattern to hook . It was in an issue of Rug Hooking magazine . She knew I love yellow ware and thought it was something I would have fun hooking . Then after visiting Rug And Pugs recent blog where Lauren took a class from Ali Strebel ....my mind kept me awake for a few nights with an idea for flowers to hook. Our hydrangeas have so many flowers on them this year , we have never had so many wonderful flowers ....so this is what I

did !!! The flowers is a pattern by Susan Gonzales Designs . Making her flowers was really fun . I will hang this piece up on a wall . My husband has made a great new narrow shelf to hang it from ,. When it is completed I will post it . We will also be happy to make this neat new way to hang your hooked pieces ! 

It has been so Hot and Humid all week , so I am glad I had lots fun things to hook ! Hopefully our weather pattern changes and will be more comfortable . I miss being outside ! And will hundreds of weeds growing all over !
