Please Tell Me



Do you ever think you have the answer to something, but you are just not quite sure? For validation we seek outside sources that we feel know the true answer. If we listen closely, the answer will come.

Hold My Heart


"Hold My Heart"

Did you ever know someone that you gave your heart to completely,,,,, and they crushed it? I guess we all do,,, it's part of living, and experiencing life,,,, and learning how to move on.

Artist garage sale

My art friend Celeste and I were vendors today in the Artist Garage Sale. It was a great day, with great weather (it didn't rain), and great people. Thanks to all my artist friends for stopping by and saying "Hi". There were lots of glass items, watercolors, paintings, misc artist supplies and much more. There were happy customers, happy children, and happy dogs.
What a great day!

Who's rug is it anyway?

I think I need a vote. Our dog Bailey thinks this is her new hand hooked rug.


And clearly "Yoda" thinks this is his rug. What do you think?


(This beautiful rug is all hand hooked by artist, Sharon Baker)

4 Rug Hooked Friendlies


I thought I would show a group photo of some of my rug hooked dolls. Red Riding hoods' sister is going to a new home on Friday! Yea! The others will be for sale at the October rug show. (if they don't sell sooner).



I thought you'd like to see the progress on the rug I am hooking.


It's going to be almost 90 degrees here in Seattle today. That's a little too hot for me!

Connect



Life is about connecting. Connecting with nature, with people we meet, connecting in all sorts of ways. We feel more whole and loved when we connect.

My pattern for a new hooked rug

I thought I'd like to make a larger hooked project this time, so I am going to make a rug. Here is my pattern for it. It will be fun,,,, and of course I will be using bright colors.

I then drew my idea on Monks cloth. All ready to start! It will be 19 x 26, that's big for me, since my rug hooked projects are smaller and usually stuffed, like the rug hooked dolls I make.



Maybe I can start hooking this weekend. Til then...
