What does Rug hooking and the Wizard of Oz have in Common?

  The Wizard of Oz


What have you learned, Dorothy?



Dorothy: Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?


What does Rug Hooking and  the Wizard of Oz have in Common? I was relating to  the characters of this Wonderful Movie and how they think 
they're missing something in their life!

What kind of a Rug hooker are you?

A Dorothy Rug Hooker who doesn’t appreciate her Hooked Rugs until she see’s them with fresh eyes through friends. Someone who gives her rugs away before she realizes how good her Rugs are.  A hooker that appreciates her rug now that is hanging somewhere else Lol! As Rug hookers we need to appreciate that our rugs do improve each time we Hook and each is special.

A  Scarecrow who thinks he has no brains.  Try something  new in your hooking . Why not try a rug that’s not your usual hooked Rug. Think outside your rug hooking comfort zone.Rug Hookers create in many styles
maybe your loops are never perfect but those loops are yours!

The Tin Woodsman who wants a heart . You don’t have to be famous to put your thoughts and memories and  hook them on your blank burlap and create. We all enjoy looking at a rug that someone has retold a story in their rug of their life. Those rugs are truly special.They are the essence of what Hooking is about.

The Cowardly Lion who is afraid of everything including his

Tail. Maybe your afraid to experiment with color in your Rugs because it might turn out different then you originally wanted. To be creative you have to risk doing something that others might think is odd

Or not understand.

So as I have my Wizard of Oz moment I realize I have to be the Horse of a different color. Remember when they were in Oz and there was a Horse of a different color? SO

Does a Cow have to be brown or black or white?

My Cow I am hooking is soft purple check with light pink markings.
I am trying to create a simple rug that speaks to me.

 So Which character would you be in The Wizard of Oz?

Hmmmm ,It would be nice to be the good witch Glinda.
Glinda who is so good and pretty and is the big ball of niceness but also
able to dole out wisdom.As long as I am not a flying monkey I am doing fine.Lol

A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.
