Nope, this post is about hooking. Wool rug hooking, that is.
It has been a very long time since I sat down and hooked on a rug. It was back in February of 2011, when I finished my 2sheep rug. Remember that one? I loved that rug, but ended up giving it to a good friend.
Here's a photo...
Since that time, I re-homed most of my rughooking supplies. I did keep my frame and a few tools, though. I also kept two rugs. One that was never started and one that was started but never finished The unstarted one...3 collies and a lab...let's be real...that one is never going to be hooked. But, the star rug? I have recently been thinking that it would be a good thing to work on. Here's a photo of how it looks thus far...
It isn't like I'm looking for something to do, because....well, you know...I have a lot of projects on my list. Nope...it's because I was inspired by Kelley of With Hook and Needle. She posted progress photos of a rug she was hooking on Facebook...and I fell in love with that rug! Guess where it is now? Here on my living room floor!!! ohmygosh...I love it!!!
And, Kelley also sent along this little mat (about 7 inches square) for me...isn't it too cute? She left it for me to finish off as a pincushion or a mat...for now it is laying on my table so that I can see it (and smile) often throughout the day! (This isn't showing good color...the background is more red than it looks, here.)
I have always loved Kelley's work...she is the best at primitive.
I will let you know what I decide as far as finishing my big a** star rug.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Jeremiah 29:11

Kelley does make the best primitive rugs, love her hooking and choice of wools.
I haven't hooked in ages, but I still have my supplies, getting tempted to start a smaller one for a bench.

Oh its so pretty. I always think of you whenever I hook by rugs, if not for you... :) I can't wait to see your big rug. You make me laugh.
Oh my!!!! Take a look at the big a** star rug!!! lol! I think that once you get started....you'll be hooking on it day and night! :-) Those are some gorgeous hooked pieces that Kelley sent you! She truly is very talented and very generous! :-)
Kelley's use of color is amazing.
