~ Wednesday Morning Musings ~

 Hello Friends and Folk!

...and a happy chilly almost-Christmas Wednesday to you all ~

I am HOOKING! 

oh yes I am ~ finally, the wool dust isn't bothering my eyes and nose 

as much as it was post-recent-surgeries..

woot woot!

i'm sure you all know how much I love purple ~ anything...

a color that has been my very favorite since childhood.

 

i thought i would draw up a chairpad design 

~ and use up some of my many purple wools in it. 

I cannot tell you how different colors look to me now! 

I am amazed and surprised at color now, even more so than ever before ~

since I'm not taking any chances with the wool dust though, i'm trying to keep it to a minimum by simply hand-cutting my strips using spring-loaded Fiskar scissors...

hand cutting one strip at a time, while hooking is a slow, but peaceful way of working too ~

 as well as keeps my worm baskets from overflowing from too many cut but not used strips!

some of my strips are 8's {1/4"}, some are smaller or larger.

some are 6's up to 8's all in one strip! ha!

~ but just look at the old-fashioned way they hook up:

 I am diligently working on a slew of new rug designs

 for the upcoming Woolwright's Spring Hook In

my favorite chair, in my favorite spot in our Keeping Room

is where you will be finding me ~ snug as a bug hooking a rug!

 OH! and, come join the woolly-fun over at my

Out of Hand Rug Hookers group on Facebook!
