Greetings Friends & Folk!
~ and a happy most-beautiful Autumn October-ish day to you all...
it is a perfect day for hooking in my keeping room...
working on a new design called
"Holly Olde Santa"
{ from Notforgotten Farm™}
the late morning sun slips through my shutters next to my working chair ~
I've done a tiny bit of decorating for Autumn,
~ but will be bringing more of my Halloweenies out soon...
I think I might work in some of my hand spun wool yarn
to this fellow's beard and brow:
Last night I had posted to my members on my
to kindly share their collections of antique/vintage rug hooks...
here are a few of mine:
the Joan Moshimer hook from Kennebunkport, Maine
was the very first hook I stared with over 30 years ago ~
I don't use bent hooks,
but I do grab them for my collection when I see them while I'm shopping "oot & aboot"
{if Joan doesn't spot them first!}
I do switch between hooks to keep my hand from getting too tired...
my ergo steel hook that Peter makes is my favorite, but I also use a miller ball
~ and an antique hook too.
{I keep them in my sliding lid needle box}
here is a different angle of the keeping room ~
my favorite Pumpkin guy
made by Becky Carney of A Wing and a Prayer ~
{{ you can find Becky on PFATT and Early Work Mercantile }}
and a small chalkware black cat from Misi Axel of Gable House Goods....
more goodies live in my Witches Cupboard all year long...
Well my friends, my hook is calling me ~
time to get back to work!
Hoping your day is filled with wonderful Autumn Goodness!
Blessings from the Farm
~

I can't wait to See that Santa !!!! I wish I had my Grandmother's hook ….I have everything else of hers & wonder what happened to it.
Your house looks so cozy & comfy !!!
Enjoyed your 'change of seasons' view of your home. I also have some antique hooks and one day soon might post mine as well ~ wish there were more in my collection tho.
