With much trial and error and finally pleasure and success, the Star Gazer Lilies for Annie are complete.
It is difficult to get a picture of the 3 dimensions. These views from the side will let you see the result.
The piece measures 34″ x 36″ . Hooked with # 8 and hand cut recycled fabric. The [...]
This has really been an adventures. Lots of thinking and figuring took place before the first loop was hooked. I ended up drawing the pattern on a linen backing to use as my template. The actual backing for this piece will be a hand dyed wool fabric, stretch over a frame. Here is what [...]
I’ve made a rug and two purses since my last posting. Each was fun, small and relatively quick to make.
What really excites me is trying something new, or something no one has done before. The Butterfly Angel Purse filled some of this need, as I wanted a flat bottom and wasn’t sure how to [...]
I love it! The 23rd Psalm Rug or Keiki Carpet is completed. What a labor of love this was. I enjoyed every bit of the creation. Rarely did a smile slip from my face when working of this rug. I just kept imagining all the little souls who would enjoy sitting on it during the [...]
I’m like a horse on it’s way to the barn. Two days of hooking and the 23rd Psalm rug will be completely hooked. Then it is off for a 10 day vacation to Canada and family reunions. I will be taking the Garden Room Rug to Urla Meckling on Vancouver Island.
I love the feeling [...]

Time flies. [...]
Here we are the balanced couple. It has taken us 45 years, but I think we’ve finally mastered the art of balancing and complimenting each other. It is a safe and wonderful place to be. The two of us are so very different in most aspects of our lives, yet we respect and admire each [...]
I’ve never had much patience. My mother claimed that I was standing behind the door when it was handed out. I want things done yesterday! Consequently rug hooking has been a growing experience. A rug just doesn’t unfold as quickly as you would like. Loop by loop you create your picture. It is as though you [...]
Having Faith
I’ve always loved my middle name Faith and have wondered why I like it. When I began rug hooking, I learned quickly that a good dose of faith is very important to the creative process. You can read and worry over the rules of rug hooking, or you can have faith in yourself and [...]
