Mixed feeling in a Hooked Rug

Ok so I made this announcement to the world to finish my big rug on Tuesday. So Easter Sunday as we waited for the ham to cook I sat hooking away. It was the most relaxing Easter I have experienced in a long time. When we came home after the long drive from my daughters I got to work . My husband just smiled as I watched T.V.and worked away Sunday evening.

Maybe we just need to announce to the world were on a deadline and maybe that’s what I needed. Since I have so many interests I feel like a packet of seeds scattered everywhere. So I finished my hooking on my rug and then I felt a little let down on how it turned out.

 All of us hookers in our group made the same pattern. I was trying to use colors similar to another hooker Donna who made a really nice primitive version of the pattern. I didn‘t have the same wools as Donna so how could my rug look like hers? That’s what is so interesting about hooking everybody can have the same pattern and yet their rugs look so different by color selection .Have you ever just gotten to the point you have a love hate relationship with a rug? I am o.k.with it I am just not really happy with it. I envisioned it different and Oh well I am just not sure. I need to move on and accept it’s done.One of the things I don't like it's a little too busy.I think I don't like the black speckled background too.It does look better in the dark with my blue walls in the bedroom.Lol Cheri
