I can't believe it's been since Nov since I posted. I have had so much going on since then. Out of the blue, my son who lived in Chicago was offered a fantastic job and it just so happened it was here at home in Cleveland. So getting him moved and buying a car and all that comes with that, life has been very busy for me and then throw in the holidays.<br />
<br />
Finally things have slowed down enough for me to get back into the grove of hooking again. I chose a reproduction of an antique rug hooked by Nancy Shippey. This rug is 160 years old, wow! Mine will be about 36" x 60". This will be my most challenging rug yet not because of it's size but the color planning. I hook with a great group of girls and sure they will give me a hand when needed. I will post my progress. In the meantime, enjoy some rugs from my hooking buddies from last Wed. at Porter Library.<br />

Well, not all of our friends hook in wide cuts with dark colors, that's what makes this group so wonderful.

I thought it wold be cute hanging in a shower house by the pool, if I had one.</td></tr>

I almost didn't go due to waking up with a migrane, (weather change) but that's what drugs are for. Anyhoooo, Mom and I went and met Kaye and her friends Elaine and Tina. This shop moved from it's original place???? to this wonderful barn in Salem, Ohio. OMG, as soon as I opened the door I knew it would be great. The pictures are a bit out of focus because I was trying to hurry and not let the shop owner see me. I found a great old noodle board for my stove and we all bought this cute little pine topiary trees that I will point out later. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span><br />

Yesterday my Mom and I went to the Simple Goods show and it was fantastic. I think it has been the best one yet. Even though it is so crowded, it is so inspirational. Lots of really cool primitive vendors. I bought just a few items, nothing to write home about but will make great little gifts for Christmas. Then we headed on up to Walnut Creek in Amish and had a wonderful lunch at Rebecca's. We had an amazing pumpkin and apple soup, OMG!!! If anyone has a recipe for this, PLEASE, let me know ASAP. Then we ended the day with a stop in Berlin to a few of our favorite shops. I finally picked up Maggie Bonanomi's new book, she is amazing!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to show everyone the rug I just finished and will be putting on Ebay this evening. It is a reproduction of an antique rug, what else. I really love this rug and the' cush' it offers when stood on, oh my! </span><br />

The second I laid eyes on it going up her staircase I knew I had to hook it. I snapped this photo of it real quick before dinner per Lauren's request. You see, the first time I met Lauren, I was hooking this rug. All the strips are hand torn, my goodness they have to be a 10-11 cut. It was really a fun rug to hook, it hangs in my living room and I don't think I could ever part with it. Enjoy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Just a bit of background and I promise, I WILL be brief. When I was a young woman (18), part of me feeling independent was to donate my blood to the Red Cross. I took myself down there only to be told, "honey, you need it more than we do". You see I was a whopping 107 lbs at the time so I did not meet the weight requirements. Well time went by and I do mean LOTS of time, I worked on getting my weight up, he he, I am now 46 and have always wanted to donate blood but just never found the time. So I logged onto the Red Cross website about a month ago, scoped out where they would be and made an appointment. So I waltz myself over to the hospital this afternoon feeling really good about this only to be DENIED again. For crying out loud, now my blood pressure it too high. What the heck.....I'm feeling a bit bummed so thought I would come home and share this with you all and a rug I just finished, so enjoy, especially my dear Kaye...</span><br />

I have thought long and hard on whether or not I really need to start a new project like my '<strong>own</strong>' blog. I have so enjoyed visiting others blogs like 'Rugs and Pugs', 'Plum Run Creek', "Olde Glory', 'Not Forgotten Farm' and the list goes on and on. I start my day with these and travel on over to any other followers of theirs and before you know it.... well you all know how it is, right? The inspiration they have given me alone is amazing and worth the hours spent behind this 20" monitor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love primitive style rug hooking with nothing smaller than an 8 cut and that is even rare since I don't like detail(usually 9 cut in most rugs) and dark jewel colors are my go to wools. I have joined various rug hooking 'groups' to meet and learn from other hookers. I love to talk about wool, dyeing and new patterns to add to my 'to hook' list, and there are many. I so appreciate the time these folks have put in to create such groups, for I would not have met some great friends like my buddy 'Karin', so for that I am grateful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to show everyone what I am currently working on from time to time with my most recent finished rug today. Enjoy!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Until next time, wish me luck on this new endeavor!</span><br />
