All Hooked With our Heads in the Clouds!

The hooking is done on my Sassy Sunflower rug!  Thank-you all from the bottom of my heart for your sweet compliments on this little mat!  I'm always thrilled when I get a nod of approval for a design that just sort of popped into my head!  I have been wanting to do a sunflower rug for quite some time. I have also been working on a fall leaf design.  So I guess that is where the leaves came from in this design, as I've had leaf designs floating around in my brain lately!

I just had to share these photos I took night before last  of a spectacular cloud display in the sky right after a thunderstorm rolled through.  Dave was talking on the phone in a long conversation that couldn't wait.  I called him out onto the deck to see these clouds that were changing and becoming more spectacular by the minute.  He was yakking and I was snapping photos as fast as I could.  Here are a few of the more than 50 shots I took before they all drifted away and darkness settled in upon us!

Yes, you could say we both had our heads in the clouds that evening. It's a good thing Dave doesn't know how to text or he may have missed the whole thing!  

Thanks again for the sweet sweet words on my new little mat!  It means the world to me!

Sassy Sunflower!


Sassy Sunflower Hooked Rug in Progress

Time for a new pattern! A smaller mat this time drawn quick as a wink. I needed a color fix! Yes indeed! What do you think of this Sassy Sunflower? I think I will be hooking this one in different shades too. I'll be back with more in the next couple of days.
