My Past...Rugs

 This summer, I sat down and I found the rugs that I had sold when I sold rugs. I think the hardest thing about selling rugs is I can never really replace them. I won't be able to find the colors or the same me. I was on the very end of homeschooling, raising a family, even living on our little farm. I was trying to negotiate an empty nest. It was so nice to be able to design and sell rugs and even that people bought them. I still have the patterns but I don't know if I have the want to too go back. So here are the pictures I found in my past photos.

So funny isn't it? I had a customer who was a vet. He was redoing his office and he wanted me to do rugs for it. This is just called simple Dog. I wonder if he still has it. 

He bought this one too.

Then he had me design pillows for his house. He wanted this pattern for pillows. I make pillows for myself all of the time, but it was different to sell them to someone. 

This was Stretch. I am so original in my names. This one made me laugh the whole time I was hooking it. I could hook really fast when I like the pattern and when its my own pattern I am so much more relaxed. (Haha it says dog on it. I wonder why I did that.)

I did this one, about a year before my Cataract surgeries. I had no idea that I was slowly going blind or that one of my Cataracts was yellow. So I saw everything through a yellow lens. After I had my surgery, I did not like this rug at all. So I sold it.

 I found the original post card for this rug and had my daughter draw out the other pattern I still have. Which I have shown on this blog a bunch of times.

I still like it. I don't think I could ever sell this one as it was such a labor of love for me. But who knows. I don't think my kids will want them. 

I have a bunch of rugs that sold, I have no idea why, but I will just put those odds and ends here.

I sold this one almost as fast I as I put it up. I hated it so much that is the only picture I can find  that I took of it. 

This pattern was from Old Tattered Flag. I pulled my hair out every step of the way. I was glad to see it go and now I wish  I had it because I have forgot about how hard it was.

My Summer rug here was from a wool pattern. I made it really big. This was really fun to make. I don't like that red now.

This is the one I did from Saundra, Its still one of my favorites and I will never sell it. Ever.

I bet I hooked this five times and it sold every single time. It was from one of those books that had rug hooking patterns in them by Maggie. I should do it one more time so I have one. 

Okay, I am going to stop now. There is more, but that is enough. It makes me sad because its looking back. There are the pictures of my little baby grands and new babies and they are all grown up. Well a lot of them are. Plus they are living other places and not here. I don't want to be sad. 

I hope you have a lovely Sunday. We have lots of rain coming this next week. Yay! I am doing Thanksgiving next Sunday for our family. So I will be busy doing all of that and then just having a nice easy Thanksgiving day. Maybe put up Christmas lights, who knows. 

Thanks for stopping by,
