A New Week

 

A new week and the last week of summer!!! We have a weather change coming, it is so nice to see clouds that aren't smoke. I hope the rains come and put out the fires that are burning in the west. At least cooler temps might help.

I made a big mistake in my rug hooking. I ran out of wool. I have rugs in various stages of work. I should get my wool order this week though and I will be working again. I also ordered all kinds of fall colors of dye to make luscious wool colors this week. I am excited.

Here is my newest chicken rug.

Sometimes I just have to hook a chicken.

I had to draw out my some more patterns, which finished off my backing too. A person who buys my rugs, asked me this weekend, if I could turn these next two patterns into pillows. So I will try my hand at hooked pillows.

I like these patterns so I hope they look good as pillows. I rarely sit down now that I don't have wool and a hook in my hand. In fact, I feel strange when I am doing something else without a hook in my hand.

Ron very sweetly drew out a fall pattern for me. I think I would have to use as size two or three blade for the wool for this. I think it might be fun to try.

It makes me happy when he sketches out rugs. I wouldn't ever be able to put it in my store. As soon as it cools off we have other things we would like to be doing again. Like wood projects.

I hope you have a lovely week. All I do and all I think about right now is wool, and hooking and rugs.
I need to be thinking about hula hoes, and weeds and getting things put to bed for winter.

Thank you so much for stopping by today,
