Still feeling like Winter here ....cold & dreary

 Last weekend I went to see Sandy at Woolen Memories.  I wanted to show her the rug I had finished hooking and needed another pattern of hers to work on next. My previous post shows her pattern "Twin Baskets" , she is offering this pattern again !!!

 Sandy had just drawn up this sweet pattern and I had to get it ! It is called "Little Basket Runner. " 

I worked on it all week long . And as of today this is how much I have hooked ......Lauren wondered if I have been working on this  !

 I didn't have any plans this week , so have been hooking my heart out !!! The lines I drew in for all the stripes is going the wrong direction , so need to remember that when i start on that section tomorrow .  

Sandy is busy drawing patterns for our 250th  celebration of America . I got this cute chair pad to hook .  Tomorrow is actually suppose to be a Beautiful ,sunny day and could be in the upper 60's !!!! I can finally get outside for a nice long walk !!! May not get much hooking done ! 

We survived another Nor Easter !

 The Big Winter storm Monday left us with another 10 inches of snow with wind whipping all day long . We were lucky , friends of ours ended up with a lot more snow and lost power for a few hours . We have all had it with Winter . Today I put all my Snowmen away and Christmas greenery . It's time for some warmer weather !!! 

I finally finished hooking this rug . The border really threw me . I tried several different colors for the back ground , Then friends said just mix all those worms up & hook away ! That did the trick ! 

The colors look so washed out . I wish the phones cameras took better pictures.  This pattern is called Twin Baskets by Woolen Memories . I have to visit Sandy , so she can see it . 

I was in an antique shop a few weeks ago and bought these 2 small drawers. I hooked a house for each of them . They were really fun and now I need to find more drawers !!! The drawers are 9 " tall , 5 &1/2" wide by 2 & 1/4' deep . 

Now I have to figure out what to hook next !!!  Hope others who were in the path of this Nor Easter are all safe and sound ! Think Spring !!!

Hooking Projects during the Big Snow Storm and Frigid Weather

Last weekend we got 19 inches of snow !!! It looks very pretty , but it is also frigid here in western Massachusetts .  I usually try to get out every morning for a nice long walk , but since November it has not been nice enough . A few snow storms with sleet and freezing rain  takes so long to melt with the cold we have been having . Now with this big layer of snow on the ground , I may not see my nice walking path until Spring ! 

Thank goodness I have my rug hooking to keep me busy and happy ! Lauren from Rugs and Pugs recently hooked this pretty pattern of Barb Carrol's . I have her book and drew this on linen to hook ..my grand daughters will say , " Grammie you hooked more Hearts !!!"  Yup !!! I have always loved this pattern and it was fun to hook ! 

A week ago I went out to see Sandy at Woolen Memories with a few friends .  We always enjoy visiting Sandy . We love seeing all her pretty new wools and look thru all her patterns . I had to purchase this pattern  and have been hooking this everyday since last weekend's snow storm . When it is finished Sandy asked me to bring it back for her to see .  This was a pattern she did years ago . 

Sandy had two really cute small patterns on display , but did not have those drawn up yet . It calls for another trip when I finish this !!! 

Hope you are staying warm and cozy and anxiously waiting for Spring like me !!!
