Just pulled the last loop !!!!

 This is ready to steam and bind !!!! 

Now to decide what to hook next ...Saundra's Witch , a fall pattern from Woolen Memories that is a small design ?????? 

Hmmmm 

Sorry for not updating anything for months .......

 I really haven't done a lot of hooking this summer.  I started this design last month ....a friend is dying wool for the border . I wanted dirty browns to hook with. She just gave it to me and I am ready to hook again ! 

I think Lauren , Rugs & Pugs hooked this same pattern years ago.  I bought this pattern from Heavens To Betsy when she retired. 

Summer is flying by way too fast. We have had a lot of rain and now high humidity . We were able to go visit friends in Maine for a wonderful weekend. Will go back in the fall for several days. 

Will post again when I finish this !!! Happy Hooking !!!

Here is the Special Hooking project I have been working on !!!!

 I have been having a great time hooking this new pattern from Woolen Memories.  It is called "Country Shops" . Sandy and I have been hooking this for the past 3 weeks and sending each other our progress after each day . We are using totally different colors and has been fun to see how different they look .

Yesterday I went to see Sandy with my rug that is all finished being hooked and to see hers ! We both still need to bind our rugs. We really enjoyed seeing them in person and admiring each others work . Sandy had added little details to her shops that was so cute ! The bakery has little cakes in each window and the Flower Shop had flowers in the windows ! Such tiny detail !!! I learned so much from Sandy , it was a great experience ! 

Her is Sandy's version ! 

    

       

And here is mine ! 

If you click on the pictures , you can see them much better . I told Sandy I am ready for another challenge !!!! 

Sandy also posted our pictures on Face Book yesterday and you can see them there too ! 

A Little Sneak Peak !!!!

 I have been hooking a New pattern of Sandy Miarecki's , Woolen Memories . We are both hooking it at the same time . It is just So Cute !!! It is called Country Shops and has been really fun sharing our progress to each other .  

So here is my progress and a little Sneak Peak !!! If you are on Facebook you can see her Sneak Peak too !!!! 

Mr Blues Eyes is all hooked !!!

 Yesterday I pulled the last loop for Mr Blue Eyes and sewed on his blue button eye . He even has a wooly tail !!! He has been pressed and now needs to be bound . He was so much fun to hook !!!!! 

And wait til you see what will be on my frame next !!!!! It will be a surprise !!!! 

A really cute design by Cammie Bruce !!!!

 Hello again !!! I am on a roll here ! I received this super cute pattern by Cammie , whose business name is Baskets Of Wool .  My grand children will all be here to celebrate one of their Birthdays this weekend .  I want to get this done before they come . My daughter is a dietician and I know she will get a kick out of this . 

This is called Mr Blue Eyes  !!!! 

My mother and grand mother saved a lot of buttons . I found this neat little button that would make a perfect eye !!! I will use bright blue thread to attach it . The sky will be a really neat green that looks like a faded Army blanket .  I can't stop hooking !!! 

Two posts in a month for me !!!! LOL 

All Done !!!!

 We have had beautiful weather for the past 3 days . Now we go back to more normal temperatures . We have had a lot of our snow melt away finally . I hope to be able to get back to walking on our nice bike path . 

Here are my finishes all bound and ready to use ! 

I Love this Three Basket rug ....a nice Spring feel . 

My Patriotic chair pad was fun to hook too .  

Now to figure out what will be on my frame next ..... 

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 !!!
