Although I will happily create rugs for friends or commissions, my own rugs are like my children - that's how impossible it would be to part with them. There is a completely different part of the psyche that is at work while hooking something personal versus something for "commerce". I think the emotional safety valve gets turned on - or there's just an awareness as you pull each loop that this mat is for someone else. There is still care and attachment - it's just different. <br /><br />I'm sure she will love her mat. And I love how the little white centres in some of the squares "twinkle". It's a very special piece for sure.Wendie Scott Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422462454689323029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205505982783962397.post-16223087814458619982010-07-25T15:23:09.167-10:002010-07-25T15:23:09.167-10:00I guess I'm lucky in that area....I can turn l...I guess I'm lucky in that area....I can turn loose of my rugs very easily, whether it's selling them or gifting them. I have a few that I wouldn't part with, but for the most part I'm not attached to much of any of my "stuff".Tammy Burkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693566894522334908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205505982783962397.post-55055473449244299192010-07-23T13:33:59.076-10:002010-07-23T13:33:59.076-10:00Cathy ~

I have the same issues parting with things that have a little piece of my heart in them (thank you Janis J. for that song).

I really just like to work spontaneously whenever possible, and trying to envision what will make someone else happy is so hard...we all see things (especially color) so differently. You're a good person for saying yes! I hope it works out well for all involved. I'll look forward to seeing your progress.Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205505982783962397.post-76682674402799996412010-07-22T15:00:04.477-10:002010-07-22T15:00:04.477-10:00I think I need the support group for 'can'...I think I need the support group for 'can't finish a rug' I get stuck in the middle of a project looking for the right colors and into the closet it goes.<br /><br />I think it is wonderful people want you to hook rugs for them.Momz Wool Rug Hooking Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009786688687189650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205505982783962397.post-83560894277791829452010-07-22T14:58:21.632-10:002010-07-22T14:58:21.632-10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Momz Wool Rug Hooking Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009786688687189650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205505982783962397.post-27292617191944408992010-07-22T14:14:48.105-10:002010-07-22T14:14:48.105-10:00Don't blame her for wanting one it is a great ...Don't blame her for wanting one it is a great rug. <br />I have given several away to the family but always new when I started hooking it, it was going away, so didn't get attached.

They are one of a kind, impossible to duplicate exactly. I have to start out with the idea that rug will be leaving home. Then I can let it go.<br />CPD.

You win the award!!! Pretty funny! Actually, if I'm hooking things to sell at a show, it is with a different mindset ~ I've already detached from it before it leaves the frame. I would have a hard time selling something I hooked just for me! I'm sure you'll do a great job and she'll like it better than she liked yours!!
