Still having a ball practicing my hooking. I just redid the reds on this rug that I started this summer. (Hopefully my stitches have improved since then) It was inspired by an old piece of crewel work at the Landis Valley Farm Museum here in Penna. The only shades I had at the time were way too pink. I'm definatly not a pink kinda decorating gal. So I replaced most of them with shades of russets. Boy, ripping out on rug hooking is actually fun, compared to seem ripping in sewing! Trying to decide wether to make this a pillow or leave it a mat.....
My little painted child's chair needed a bit of an accent too, so another project completed. Gee, I hate to cover it up with a doll now.... So, feeling guilty I wasn't elbow deep in paperclay, I decided to continue sculpting this afternoon, and wouldn't you know it, I was so sure I had more paperclay...I'm sure I didn't accidently move it when I cleaned my studio... Well, .... I suppose it's off to Michael's to shop ...Oh, darn! Have a great weekend
