What a wonderful fun-filled day to spend with dear friends who gathered from near and far for our monthly hook-in here at the studio! </div>

We were blessed and pleased beyond measure to have visitors from quite far spend the day with us! </div>

Deetta ( shown above with her wonderful wool feather tree and hooked tree skirt) traveled over 3 hours to join us! She also brought along her friend Karen who is new to hooking!</div>

You will recognize Nancy who finished her fabulous wool spread she has been stitching on! We photographed it on our bed as it is quite large! </div>

Nancy found this wonderful wool material and stitched the twelve days of Christmas on the squares which had the green floral already stitched on.</div>

A close up of the stitching! Quite wonderful to see how she utilized a found piece and turned it into a family heirloom. Nancy's two daughters will have to "battle it out as to who will inherit this beauty" says Nancy with a big smile!</div>

Here is Karen... Deetta's friend who is just starting to hook! Her first rug and I have to say her loops are looking like she was born to hook! She is a fun lady and we had a great time getting to know her and showing her around the hooking world! You can always tell when someone has caught the bug! I think we will be seeing more of Karen here at the studio! </div>

I'll leave you with a little collage of photos of our dining room decorated for the season with the sun shining through those new windows! Oh what a happy and peaceful space now to sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the lighter look! I brought an antique pine linen cupboard in from the living room for a little more storage.</div>

I hope you take time this Holiday Season to sit with your own cup of something warm and delicious!</div>

Monday our carpenter friend is coming to help trim out the new windows we had put in last month. So a little more saw dust will join the regular dust around here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rhonda models a wonderful sweater she crocheted! Don't you LOVE the color! I am always impressed with those who crochet garments and big projects! The extent of my crochet skills is very limited... I have made a few dishcloths. </div>

The long awaited new windows are finally being put in today! My excitement was mixed with a little anxiety as the snow flurries and cold temps yesterday kept me wondering how we were going to survive during the time the old windows came out and new ones put in! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a little antique sampler I found a while ago while antiqueing with some friends. It is framed under glass so couldn't get a very good photo. I love the misspelled word "thers"! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My header photo is a rug I hooked recently for a dear client. It is my "Home Sweet Home" design. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While in the midst of all the remodeling we've done lately I keep thinking how fortunate we are to be able to make these changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do like to keep things simple and sometimes the changes to an older home involve more time and money than we'd anticipated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But.. it is our home and we'd like to live here for years to come God willing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's getting sweeter by the minute.. so stay tuned for those "after" photos!</div>

We had a special guest as this month's gathering! Carol from Lodi, WI. She travels to Rice Lake frequently to help out her elderly dad. She has wanted to stop forever... and finally she did! What a delight she is and she brought her rug from Lori Brechlin's challenge a while back. What a treat to see it in person!</div>

A trip with my friend Lisa to the Autumn Valley Hook-in in Stillwater, MN was just the medicine I needed!! I haven't been to a hook-in for at least four years and I was ITCHING to go!! Well... it didn't disappoint! I met people who I had only talked with online and practically all my hooking friends from our group who meet here every month were in attendance!</div>

The very first booth just inside the door was Cathy Stephan from Red Barn Rugs in Hamburg, WI.

Cathy herself... I know she was warm from the rush to set up her booth and besides that it was raining pretty good when the vendors arrived... around 6:30 am to be ready for the doors to open at 9:00! It takes a good amount of time to set up and haul all that lovely wool in and hang the rugs! These girls work hard for every cent!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They traveled four or more hours from the Minnesota (Battle Lake) and North Dakota border area to take a beginning rug hooking class from me! Seven friends who quilt together and wanted to learn rug hooking in the worst way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their eagerness to learn and the excitement that exploded the minute they walked through the front door of my studio was all I needed to know they would be a dream class! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watching as they pulled their first loops and hearing the sighs and exclamations of "oh.. I was hoping I wouldn't like this" then laughter.. I knew they were on their way to joining the forces of rug hookers world wide!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's nothing like it.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the thrill of putting a rug hook in the hands of those who can touch fabric and turn it into magical works of art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rug hooking comes natural to these kindred souls.... all they need is a little instruction and knowledge of the right tools and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some gentle reassurance that the hard earned money spent on the right hook, wool cutter, frame, and the beautiful wools will provide them hours of pleasure and satisfaction for years to come!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rug hooking becomes a therapy of sorts... as those of us long time rug hookers can tell you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We applaud the time, sacrifice and energy it took for you all to attend this class!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please welcome Penny, Kari, Karen, Jean, Faye, Jolene and Denise to our wonderful world of rug hooking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patronage here at my studio!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hope is to see those rugs now that you will be working on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big hugs and Best wishes as you hook your way to Happiness!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always had issues with narrow doorways! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one is our bedroom doorway... or I should say WAS our bedroom doorway.....</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkiFh3y5oY5mAzamLvgLpjPX6PJ_6wSWg55Zp8kx7W7DpGvoh2szRFRY4H5UWlm7GChxNYZpc95cOM2idtcRd-N1AIDoLMThCjtPVVpGFPoBL_WuGf2dt9vM-fLoD8WWhi1O-8S8WN-Zk/s1600/IMG_4488.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkiFh3y5oY5mAzamLvgLpjPX6PJ_6wSWg55Zp8kx7W7DpGvoh2szRFRY4H5UWlm7GChxNYZpc95cOM2idtcRd-N1AIDoLMThCjtPVVpGFPoBL_WuGf2dt9vM-fLoD8WWhi1O-8S8WN-Zk/s400/IMG_4488.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week the remodeling started on this doorway which is something I've wanted for a very long time! I could always envision a wider opening... kind of utilizing the hallway making it seem more a part of the bedroom. Well.....</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwWEV2nrNzYUDVfFzpRKBJe4E9g0a7YplGGUwpQ8Wnc32hDgfM907b7SAO-Tv6_ZKryPcddiBH8Jr6dDX2St7NPyp35hVylBDO2BCLkC-vLxyLxa9EKjl7RrBJxXYUFvhaT5LDKg8k8zg/s1600/IMG_4489.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwWEV2nrNzYUDVfFzpRKBJe4E9g0a7YplGGUwpQ8Wnc32hDgfM907b7SAO-Tv6_ZKryPcddiBH8Jr6dDX2St7NPyp35hVylBDO2BCLkC-vLxyLxa9EKjl7RrBJxXYUFvhaT5LDKg8k8zg/s400/IMG_4489.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.....mission accomplished! I could feel the difference in the room immediately as the doorway went from a mere 30 inches wide to a whopping 72 inches wide!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh be still my heart! Never having to bump my elbows or struggle to get a piece of furniture ( which happens frequently around here LOL!) through that old narrow door!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've also never been a fan of looooonnngggg narrow hallways... but ranch style houses usually come with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this case it was a blessing... the long wall.... because it allowed space for this......</div>

Using a burnished steel track and rolling hardware it works so slick! Rolls super smooth and quiet! </div>

Dave is tearing out the closets in there.... wait! I changed my mind several times on this idea due to a dire lack of closet space already in this house!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But never fear... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a small bedroom directly across the hallway will become a big walk-in closet! But my printer, bolts of wool and all my pattern making supplies, file cabinets etc.... need to find a new home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't worry... I've got it all figured out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The extent of my "hair brained" ideas </div>

You know what they say! Yes... "The Tough Get Going!" That's my mantra these past few days. The heartbreak of losing our dear little Smokey is still fresh on our minds but you know what helps is having good friends come around and share their delightful work. Several of us in our hooking and sewing group have lost those close to us in the past few months. Some are undergoing health issues... Saundra, Lorena, and Sharon we are thinking of you and hope you can join us again soon!</div>

Last year when I let my gardens go entirely to weeds because of not being able to work in them, a strange plant took root on the edge of my rock garden. I thought about yanking it out... then just never got around to it. I didn't know for sure what it was but remember as a kid we'd see them growing alongside the dirt road by our farm. They got about 4 or 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
feet tall and grew a stem in the middle where the yellow flowers bloomed along the side. We kids used to call them Indian Tobacco. Of course my younger brothers had to try rolling up a leaf and smoke it to see if it actually was tobacco. I don't recall them getting sick or anything... oh the stories I could tell ( five kids growing up on a farm) but I digress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe the real reason I let this thing keep growing, knowing it was a weed, was the memories it brought back of my childhood.</div>

It is really quite pretty as far as weeds go. The silvery hairy leaves are gigantic. I got a chuckle as I read more about my prized weed online. Out west where the plant grows on the prairies they call it Cowboy's Toilet Paper! Oh man... I think I'll pass on trying THAT out! But I know two brothers who maybe would give it a whirl.... just sayin'! LOL!</div>

Anyhoo... the real name of this glorious weed is Common Mullein. (Verbascum Thapsus)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Reader's Digest North American Wildlife Guide says they are also known as Velvet Plant or Flannel Leaf. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to Wikipedia the plant has astringent qualities. It was used in making torches. Witches might use these torches to ward off evil.</div>

He usually doesn't entertain much interest when it comes to gardening. Probably because he works long hours and has more projects going around here than you can shake a stick at!</div>

I had purchased a few Red Norland seed potatoes on a trip to a greenhouse and had intentions of planting them myself in a garden. Well, the gardens I have right now are just little rock gardens and don't have the proper room for growing potatoes. On youtube I found a video of how to grow potatoes in a 5 gallon bucket! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow... I was intriqued so I told Dave the potatoes were his responsibility. He reluctantly watched the video and followed all intructions to a T. I am happy to report the taters are growin' like weeds... just not as big as MY prize weed though! LOL!</div>

If you want to grow your own spuds in 5 gallon buckets go look up Hollis and Nancy on YouTube! I LOVE their gardening videos! I just love listening to Hollis' sweet southern accent!</div>

A most beautiful day with cooler temps this morning brought eight lovely ladies to the studio for our monthly Hook-in or stitch-in! We all shared our works of hand, ideas and helpful hints! There's always a wealth of info. and everyone is so willing to share their knowledge and talents! Well ......except for her recipe for zucchini salsa LOL! Rhonda ( in above photo) whom you met a post or so back is carefully guarding her family recipe and for good reason... she sells the salsa to friends and relatives! Now if everyone had the recipe I imagine sales would drop off quite a bit! I think it's wonderful when someone is so enterprising and can make a few bucks from a family recipe! I think she should sell the recipe! But I do imagine mine wouldn't turn out like hers anyway! LOL!!</div>

Our dear beloved Betsy is back after some heartbreaking things that have happened to her. Betsy's husband passed away suddenly a month ago. We are so thankful she has decided to not let her sadness overcome and is keeping busy with making changes and of course keeping her hooking and stitching a focus. Here she shows off two cute pincushions she created ( can't remember the designer) but aren't they adorable! </div>

If you've been following my blog for very long you probably know of my love for gardening. My mother was an avid gardener. She loved planting, digging and trying new plants. Her gardens were lovely. </div>

Along with her love for gardening, my mother left me a menagerie of gardening stuff! I decided to honor her life this year by using some of her things in my gardens and plantings. Perhaps in new ways she wouldn't have thought of...but I'm sure she would have appreciated the results!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She collected rocks, shells and crystals when she and Dad used to travel south for the winters. She had bags of the prettiest little crystals and rocks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a fairy garden in an old wheelbarrow and used her crystals and rocks to make a little path for the gnome who resides among the plantings.</div>

One of the things I've been putting to good use is this little electric Neutron lawn mower! Mom bought it several years ago and didn't get the chance to use it much. Hubby mows the lawns for the most part but I've been tooling around the yard with this little battery powered thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so light weight and starts up so easy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am getting a lot of excercise as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were going to sell it... in fact we tried it on a recent garage sale and no one bit! I am so glad... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been working out perfect for me!</div>

Any time spent in the garden, digging in the dirt, planting and watching things grow is magical for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know exactly why my mom loved it so! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's never a bad day spent in a garden!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like magic it heals the heart,</div>

You may have heard about the deadly tornado that ravaged through Chetek, Wisconsin yesterday afternoon leaving one man dead and 25 people injured! My sister and her family live right in the path where this dangerous twister went through!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gail was home babysitting four-month old Carter, when the sirens started going off and the hail started to hit the house. She has two dogs and a cat that would not follow her down the basement stairs when she gathered up the baby and made a mad dash for cover!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What she said "seemed like an eternity" the wind howled and there was so much noise she was certain the house above was gone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Praying and holding on to little Carter ... who didn't even cry... Gail heard the window break out of the bedroom next to the one they were in! She said you could just feel the pressure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank goodness the house survived! Broken up a bit but the roof stayed on! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gail, Carter and the dogs and cat made it through!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When she came upstairs and looked out the window..... the barn had collapsed! (above photo)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The little shed behind the house was completely gone with only the cement foundation remaining!</div>

The chickens survived! Their coop was in the barn but not sure where the chickens rode out the tornado! Shortly after the storm Gail's dog Babe... grabbed hold of one and injured it. They don't think it will make it! Sure... a chicken makes it through a tornado only to be brought to an end by the family dog.</div>

My sister Gail is still smiling through it all! She is one tough cookie but was not looking forward to using this Luggable Loo... a toilet seat that fits over a 5 gallon bucket!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was pretty darn happy when her hubby got the generator hooked up so water now flows freely to the toilets and showers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know Gail.... they say more storms are coming tonight! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think you better keep it around for awhile and go buy some flashlights.... which she said they didn't have one in the house that worked!</div>

A couple of years ago I met a special lady online who found me through my blog! She is a rug hooker from Oregon named Marie Beers! She hooks with a group out there and we email back and forth quite a bit and needless to say we've become very close friends but have never met in person... until yesterday that is!!</div>

Marie and her husband were making a cross country trip from Oregon to Florida and up the east coast to Rhode Island. Their trip was a monumental one as they were carrying precious cargo. Marie's mother passed away in late February and her cremains were to be buried with family on the east coast. So they were on their way home when they decided to make a swing through Wisconsin!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When rug hookers meet we have so much to share and I was excited to see her rendition of my "Tree Birds" pattern she hooked! She personalized it with their names and the date they married! I always love the personalization of a rug that can be passed down through the generations. Isn't this just a lovely rug in all aspects!</div>

Marie is also working on a pattern by <a href="http://www.iloverughooking.com/riandrarobym.html">Marijo Taylor called River and Raven's Roost </a> who she happens to live near and both attend the same rug hooking group!

Another thing we found out about each other during their visit was that our husbands are both lovers of specialty beers! Marie's sweet hubby Bob or Bobby as she calls him and my sweet hubby Dave got along famously as they discussed all the local beers around the country and their favorites!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are a beer lover you don't have to go far in Wisconsin to find many micro-breweries and sure enough Dave had purchased a few various bottles so we could imbibe with our home-made pizza I made for dinner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marie and I both admitted we are not big beer drinkers but on occassion we will enjoy a cold one with pizza!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may get a kick out of the names of some of these locally brewed beers! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marie had a favorite and I might add that Bobby thought it was a pretty great beer too! Can you guess which one? LOL! Yes!! It was the Totally Naked! Bob described it as a very smooth and not "hoppy" beer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can imagine how the conversation went and the laughs shared!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do please notice my go-to beer on the far left... it's a gluten free beer and very good. I've been eating gluten-free for two and a half years and found a couple of beers that are gluten free!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it was a pleasure getting to know "a couple of great Beers" from the state of Oregon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you had a wonderful time and you can rest assured Dave and I enjoyed your visit very very much! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were going to send a few bottles along with you but you were already down the road a good measure before I realized they were still sitting in the fridge! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well you'll just have to make a trip back to Wisconsin soon!</div>

I'm sorry to announce our second Tuesday of the month Hook-in has been cancelled for this month. It seems it is a busy week for almost all who usually attend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some travel quite a distance to come each month and we've gotten a little ice and snow mix here on the roads tonight. It's possible the roads will be a little slick in the morning as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm hoping we all can meet again next month so mark your calendars!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been very bad at keeping up with my blog too! I apologize to all my readers who look forward to my posts! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dyeing wool, cleaning and sorting, still going through my mother's things and I guess you could say still in kind of a mourning situation has kept me preoccupied.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been a little better....on occasion I even forget that she isn't just down the street, waiting for me to come take her grocery shopping or to an appointment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sigh.... keeping busy is the best remedy I've found.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I'm not alone in this sorrowful land of losing a loved one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So many dear friends have lost someone this past year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please keep us in your prayers.</div>

Stitching soothes the soul. Calms the mind and brings peace to the heart.</div>

The little bird pin-cushion is one I made a few years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seeing the real birds arriving and setting up "housekeeping" in the trees brings a smile!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a sure sign a new season is beginning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunnier days, warmer and longer will be here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
New projects as well as a few changes on the home front are in store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be sharing some of this soon!</div>

Allow me to introduce a newcomer to our group! You may remember Rhonda from a few posts back! She took a wool applique' class here when we did the bunny pillow from Rebekah Smiths Wool Applique' Folk art Book. Rhonda does these wonderful crochet bags and decided to add the wool folk art blocks to the front of them! Wow! How awesome they are! What an eye for color this lady has! She has hooked a mat from a pattern from Kathy at Red Barn Rugs also. Rhonda certainly has a gift for handwork and design! Hairdresser by trade but I think she should consider a career in rug and applique' design don't you!! I am so glad she has decided to join our group! She's an inspiration to all of us!</div>

It was a very very busy day for me today! I didn't get much of a chance to snap more photos! The time just flies and soon everyone is heading out the door with their new woolens and supplies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so blessed to have such an enthusiastic and supportive group!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back to the drawing board working on a new rug design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put my last effort away and have learned from it I think!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This design stuff is not for the faint hearted... we all have inherited gifts and talents it just takes a lot of practice to bring them out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So practice I must!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After seeing all the beautiful projects today I just have to get back on that bandwagon and keep trying!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement & suggestions! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I truly appreciate each and every comment! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trying to be a little kind to myself here. What I really mean is I'm very disappointed in my latest rug I designed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had high hopes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I struggled with the design, the colors, the wool choices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rug measures 16 by 28. I hooked it in two days after finally admitting to myself I didn't like it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Figured I had so much hooked ( over half) that I just wanted to get it over with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll say I did enjoy pulling some loops though as it's been quite some time since I've hooked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Debated whether or not to go public with it. But decided to swallow my pride. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know what "they" ( the analysts) have said, you need to make art ( rugs) even if they're bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We learn and grow through this experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe so... I wouldn't want to make too many rugs I don't like. The backing and wool aren't as cheap as watercolors and paper! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not that I don't have other rugs I've made that don't exactly flip my switch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all have made them... right?</div>

What a fiasco this past week! One day ( can't remember which one at this point) I started getting messages on my phone and email that my friends and family were receiving messages from a scammer that was posing as me! It was apparent that my FaceBook account had been taken over by some low slime somewhere and was being used to try and deceive my friends into getting involved in a money making scheme!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank goodness most people are aware of this kind of thing going on as some have had their own accounts hacked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Changing my password a couple of times didn't seem to remedy the situation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make a long story short, I spent a couple of days (grrrrrrr) trying to get it all straightend out. I ended up closing my accounts and starting over with new ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I learned and which isn't a surprising fact at all.... there is not a phone number available on FaceBook that you can just pick up and call for assistance!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nope, you're only hope is to click your little fingers off on the keyboard and follow countless instructions and basically end up fixing the problem yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Patience wearing thin... almost came close to closing the damned account for good.... but it just rubbed me the wrong way to let some sleezy hacker win the battle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you were friends with me prior on FaceBook and wish to remain so, send me a new friend request.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've updated the FaceBook link on my side bar here too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new name for my Red House Wool Studio account is Red House Wool Studio2</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wool applique' piece I'm working on is a pattern by Cheri Payne called Old Wool Hare! What fun to piece this one together! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My days have been busy.. painting the bathroom, cleaning and sorting, customers in the studio, and this weekend I have two lovely ladies </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
coming for a beginning rug hooking class! They are sisters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes my heart glad... to once again be teaching and sharing my love for rug hooking...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even though I haven't pulled one single loop myself for weeks...sigh...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's hope that changes real quick!</div>

Yesterday was our second Tuesday of the Month Hook-in here at Red House Wool Studio! Our merry band of hookers and stitchers numbered seven of us! The flu and other ailments kept a few home and we wish them full recovery in time for next month's gathering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big WELCOME to our newest rug hooker! Kathy is being taught by Cindy to hook and appliqué! Now can you believe this is her very first rug?!! Oh my goodness! She says she LOVES it so far and is already talking about designing her own rug! That is when you know someone is hooked for ever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cindy had the pattern she gave to Kathy and purchased it from Carrie Martin <a href="http://www.onerugtworug.com/">www.onerugtworug.com</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy has finished several wool applique' projects as well! We are excited to see what she will bring for show and tell next month! </div>

Everyone gathered around to admire and offer advice on another antique adaption of a sheep rug that Lisa is working on! Oh the colors in this rug are wonderful! She's so close to finishing this one too! Now the binding Lisa! We all know you love to bind ( not) LOL! But they are not really rugs until they are bound as I like to remind ( myself included)! </div>

Cindy helps Kathy with the binding on her rug! It's so encouraging to see the help and encouragement amongst our group. I believe it is a trait of rug hookers and wool enthusiasts the world over! How we delight in helping our "sisterhood" learn to work with their hands and create. A gift beyond measure as it has a healing quality. Who wouldn't love to give and recieve such a precious gift! </div>

As I mentioned in my title that friends near and FAR encourage one another, I recieved this photo of a Santa rug that my online fellow rug hooker and friend Marolyn from Sierra Madre, California designed and hooked! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been emailing and keeping in touch now for a couple of years and she is so encouraging to me and a wonderful lady! I have this plan to someday travel to all the places that I have online friends to visit them in person! In the meantime we need to keep sharing our rugs and happenings through emails etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't this rug just as awesome as they come! The design, color planning and that blue bird ( oh how I love it)! The beard is really great! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you so much Marolyn for letting me share it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes me want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But Easter and Spring shall take place first..</div>

Well.... here it is! My results from sewing a few pieces of wool together, cutting out some heart shapes from different textures and appliqueing them on with the blanket stitch. Pretty simple and something fun to do with wool besides just hooking rugs or making table mats!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wish I had more time in a day... I'd try making more wearable items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to sew all my clothes when I was in high school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More out of necessity than for the sake of sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it did teach me some basic sewing skills.</div>

So are you watching the Super Bowl tonight?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I may be keeping an eye on it as hubby is glued to the screen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The half-time show is what keeps me watching... at least until half-time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it will be bed-time for this old gal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy the game if you watch!</div>

Recovering from the flu or something... I was awake all night throwing up with stomach pains. With all I've had going on lately with my health wasn't sure it was the flu. I had a Dr.'s appointment this morning which of course I missed. I'm feeling much better tonight and will have to reschedule that appointment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been playing in some neutral shades of wool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not at all sure what I intend to make... there is a vague idea in my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's fun and relaxing to play with scraps not having a definite plan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It surely is a good thing to give our creative minds that space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Space to play and dream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps something useful will come of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps something beautiful or just something that isn't much of anything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's all part of the process of creating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm reveling in that process!</div>

Lately I've felt the need to look up from my pile of tax papers and take a deep breath! To take what's left of January to try and renew my creative juices. My hope is that this year will be one of many changes. Changes that will allow me to get back to designing, hooking, dyeing and doing the things which I have a deep love and need to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a year ago I happened to come across the work of a french artist who's work just blew me away! She's a crochet artist who dyes her own threads and fibers used to create her work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sophie Digard inspires me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The way she uses color in such intricate, delicate and interesting ways.</div>
