A Hookers Rip heard around the World!

Posted on 10:02 AM by hill wilf
                             Have you ever been frustrated with a Rug? Like Maulie I am puzzled
                              about my current rug.

                                                                                                                            


O.k. I know now why hookers charge what they do for a pattern! It’s not easy. I have always wanted to make up a

Rug hooking pattern of my own. A rug hooking that shows my varied interests. That is what old time rug hookers did why can't I ?   So I have been working on a simple rug and well last night while watching T.V I just saw I was getting nowhere the color, the design I just knew goodbye hooking!

It Was a night of the Rip!

I just didn’t like so much of it. I took out the lettering it was too dark. I needed something on the side of the rug. I had hooked a little chicken but it looked like I am not sure what.Lol So today I am going to try to pick it up and see if I can put something else in my rug that I will like better. I am not an artist so I relay on using old appliqué patterns I have in my quilt room and adapting them. Wish me luck.

                                                           Morris on the Mend



P.S Morris is still sleeping a lot but he has been getting up for chow. His paw must have gotten bitten. It swelled up and now it’s normal size .Morris is definitely on the mend. Morris is walking on it and definitely feeling better. Mr. I can’t stay in my yard has moved away from the front room and now he is in the bedroom away from Maulie and snoozing.

                                                          Morris grooming himself.

                                               On a more positive note . I enjoyed this book!
