~ 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 
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
