a little hooking ~

when the weather gets chilly and my hands are needing 'something' to do  ~

I reach for my trusty hook...

the falling leaves and smell of woodsmoke seem to fuel my inspiration 

and make me want to create all kinds of things with wool.

small holly & berry hooking

 this is where you can find me,

upstairs in our farmhouse...

settled in my hooking chair and surrounded by my favorite things ~

one of my dress forms keeps me company ~

(she is always ready to lend advice or help me color-plan)

wools worms crawl about on the floor, entertaining Iggy ~

a rug I hooked a long time ago

 in remembrance of a beloved friend, "Marmalade" 

keeps my feet warm in front of my chair...

my sewing machine table becomes a perch for my wool cutter,

 needle box scissors and sundries ~

a little wool snowman coming to life ~

hello!

 working with natural materials such as linen & wool

always help me feel connected to Nature...

once I've finished these, I'll then go outside for a walk in our fields ~

breath in the cold air and look for turkey feathers.

perhaps I'll be lucky to spot one of our deer, or a hawk...

maybe I'll find a turtle shell or an arrowhead?

you never know ~

but I know I will be inspired to keep creating from my surroundings....

* Blessed be *
