the tale of a rug-hooking journey.....

Tis a favorite past time full of starts and stops, but regardless the length of time in between, I always return to hooking. The following is just a snippet of that journey, of patterns, of tips, a favorite hooker or two and designs along the way. This is truly a journal for my perusing, but should you stumble onto me.....Welcome to the diary of a "hooker"! :)

tiME........

 How does it happen?  Time marches forward to a cadence so fast that you've blinked and two years of no winks-of-wool have appeared.  Fortunately, the hook was still active when obviously the blogging was not!  I shall POST!  I shall gather the projects and display!  A journaling we will go.....

I'll start with my current project:  a vintage darling that I adapted from a couple of vintage Halloween cards.  Admittedly, I am totally smitten with her expression!  The subject, however raises that time factor AGAIN!  Why is it I'm hooking Halloween in spring, Christmas in the summer and summer themes in winter?  I'd love to have a clever explanation, but Nada!  Too explain the inexplicable.......

 Fortunately, Saturday took no explaining.  Saturday was just Spring incredible in Pandora (my backyard).  Add to it a hook, a frame, and pile of wool and you've piled on the perfection!  Pumpkin Darling (so I've named her) is extremely close to completion.  One of the things  I love to remember after I've completed a project are the moments of life that happened along that way.   It is about the process.   For me, rug hooking is a time to think, a time to be still.   This morning, as I listen to the baby birds in a nearby nest and the water music of the stream, I am enchanted.  These will be just those very moments of remembrance!
