~ Cozy Autumn Farmhouse ~

 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 

Out of Hand Rug Hookers Group {FB}  

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
