HIT or Miss Hooked Rug



I love hooking hit or miss style!!!! I think it's my favorite way to hook. BUT I am very fussy about the way I do it (as with everything I do LOL) I don't want a worm of the same color to be close to another worm of that color. If it is,well then it's reverse hooking time!!!! These rugs that I do are so cool because no matter what your favorite color is,it's probably there!!!! Great to hang or use as a little table rug. It's listed on ebay right now. I also listed my hooked crow make-do with a mustard star hanging from his beak. I hope you'll take a look at these items and others,by clicking on that little ebay thingy on your right!!!! Iffin' ya do I Thank You ♥

Speaking of favorite colors,I think mine is red. BUT that's always subject to change,cause I love all colors. It kinda depends on what the item is,but red usually draws me in. BUT then there's also yellow!!!!! I can say though that I'm really NOT a blue person. Oh I just love color!!!! Being a Leo (August B-Day) I'm probably most drawn to warm colors AND drab colors. Oh geeze I just love color!!!!!

Well,time to finish my puter rounds and get to work!!!! No rest for the weary ya know!!!!

ANOTHER SWEETIE on eBAY



Isn't she neat???? AND she's reversible!!!! So if you set her on a table as a center piece she'll look the same from either side,just a different look of the antique quilt. I handstitched her. That meant stitching through 6 layers,cause I mostly keep my antique cutter quilts as is when I make something from them. That means the quilt top,the old cotton seed batting & the backing.

Oh I'm so lucky that I that I collected & searched out all these antique quilts,buttons,laces,linens,etc.,etc.,from antique flea markets,shows & stores!!!!!
I just don't get out anymore & definately not to all those places like I used to. So all this "stuff" is here,ready to create with!!!! The problem is,there's just really no room for it all in this little house,so it's all over the place. And I won't even talk about my wool!!!! Every precious piece,no matter how small,I just CANNOT get myself to throw it out. BUT I do use it for stuffing stuff!!!
Moral of the story: DON'T move to a smaller house if ya got lotsa "stuff" like I do!!

COOL CAT on eBAY!!!!!



I just listed this needle punch cat on eBay. It's a pattern by Ginger,Primitives By The Light of The Moon. Added my own touches on him. Really neat to hang or to tuck in a cupboard.
Yesterday I listed a hooked make-do. It's a star covered in antique buttons. Whether your decor is primitive,cottage or whatever this hand hooked make-do will fit right in!!!!! I sure hope you'll take a look at these items & some others I have listed right now. Just click on that little eBay thingy on your right.

Well,it's time for me to get dressed,eat lunch & take my nap!!!!!

2 NEW Sweeties ON Ebay!!!!!




Aren't these so primitively cool??????
These patterns are from my friend Lottie (thanks Lottie!!)

I REALLY love the doll!!!!!! So guess what I named her???? "LOVEY" Real original huh????
If you'd like to go see them you can click on the eBay button there on your right.

No I haven't counted up all the stuff around me that needs finishing,BUT I can tell you that right in front of me,on my footstool there's 8 items waiting their turn. Since I need to keep my legs up,there's always just enough room to put my feet. Good thing it's a good size,cause it's ALWAYS full of "STUFF"!!!!!!!
Maybe next time I'll count up all the other things in my immediate vicinity waiting their turn to be finished. I just can't help it that I think up more things to make faster than I can finish them.
If something pops into my head to make,I just HAVE to make it!!!!! That's how I've always worked & in this case ya can't teach this old dog a new trick!!!!!

THIS IS A NEW POST........FINALLY!!!!!



This is FANCEY. She's a hooked bunny that I designed years ago & only did one other in white wool,way back when.
She's a must have sweetie!!!!! Too bad I can't take a decent picture to save my life!! Maybe someday I should read the directions that came with the camera LOL no time for that!!!!!

FANCEY's on eBay right now,along with some of my other original designs. If you'd like to take a look,you can click on the eBay button over there on the right & it will take you to my auctions. THANKS in advance if ya take the trip over to look.

New Year's Day was also the upload for my Lemon Poppy Shoppe. I had put a really cool hit or miss hooked heart make-do on an antique bobbin up. Waiting for the money order for it. There's a couple other things too.

I was gonna yada yada about all the stuff I have waiting for the finishing work to be done,but then something else won't get finished. So MAYBE I'll write about that tomorrow or not.

Weather in Ohio: Snow & cold Well it is Ohio!!!!!
