A simple time, a simple life and a passion for wool. This has translated into a creative outlet of rug hooking, punch needle and knitting. This is where I write about what I am working on, new designs on the go and exploring the ins and outs of the creative process. Oh yes also some chit chat of daily life, books, baking and pictures of anything and everything....

My Gals!
After a frustrating morning driving downtown I needed some relaxation so picked up my hook to finish my gals. They are ready to hit the shops - them rug hooking shops of course that sell gads of wool in all the most beautiful colours. Now on to the background. Thought I would do a paisley sky a la deanne fitzpatrick. By the way this is her design. I just love her big boned girls. My last UFO to get done and then.....
got lots more new projects/ideas stacked on the shelf - ready to have wool and hook taken to them.
Have you seen Susan Quicksall's designs from Holly Hill? I am sure you have in the various rug hooking magazines. She is amazing. Just ordered her dye book - these use Prochem, which I have not used as of yet so that will be a new adventure! There is a colour I have seen which is gorgeous - vergis.
So sorry for all you folk having rough weather down south. I think it should be me, up here North of you, who should have some of that snow - but I would be happy if it held off until December 20th.
Happy Halloween...Joni
The gals looks fabulous! Deanne's designs are so happy and carefree... i hope to hook one some day!
