I spent the entire morning cutting wool
...into fat 1/4's and fat 1/2's for the open house ~
beautiful, as-is wools from Rebecca Erb :)
 |
| stacks and stacks |
snipping, ripping & tearing ~
wool dust up my nose…
every time I blow my nose I create a masterpiece in my tissue!!!
(eeewww….sorry about that!)
 |
| sorting, tagging and folding |
I have these to finish
then
start on the next batch ~
 |
| falling off the table! |
and piled up on this one ~
 |
| no hookin' today, but playing with wool anyway :) |
friends Robin & Sharon stopped in the shop for a visit today with me too ~
~ Robin brought in her rug-in-progress
and of course it is of her namesake ~
 |
| beautiful! |
I love the way Robin hooks ~ very primitive & textural :)
she color planned this one beautifully
...she's almost finished with it too,
and then will begin hooking the Peacock design that I told you about previously.
(I'll share snaps of her progress)
Sharon came in and wanted help in designing a new rug ~
she wanted to hook a saltbox house, with a cat included in the design.
So we drew it up and now she is one happy hooker!
Well, my friends, I am off to make some supper for us ~
….not sure what to have, something light ~ or maybe pizza!
Have a beautiful evening
* Blessed be *

What a gorgeous collection of wool!!!
wow....fun fun....I still would love to be able to come over and hook with you....be careful though.....my grandma had a huge loom to make big rugs on.....she died of lung cancer....never smoked a day in her life...they said the fibers she would breath in were not good ....please wear a dust mask when you do big project like that....hugs....linda
Linda, I am fascinated with your beautiful rug hooking but cannot find any shops or resources close here near Portland, Oregon. Can you recommend a video or book that I could purchase to learn from and maybe get some supplies from you? I am pretty crafty so usually can learn new crafts but maybe rug hooking requires a hands on class and teacher? Btw, love my new little Notforgotten Farm spool bag stitching kit!
Forgot to leave my name with my questions about getting started rug hooking.
You gave me quite a giggle with your blowing a masterpiece lol. All that wool looks so yummy,total eye candy. your shop looks like such a comfortable place to be.
Shop looks so warm & inviting... You have created a great place! Wish I lived close by...I would certainly be a visitor!
Beautiful wool offerings... I sure wish I could visit for open house! Robin's rug is prim perfection!
Beautiful work, Lori!
Your shop looks like a delightful place to sit for awhile... I do not know how to hook... it looks lovely.
