New rug hooking items!

This is a punch needle patteren that I got from Karen in a swap. I loved the patteren
and just couldn't wait to get it done.

Here are a couple of new books that I got on rug hooking. I have only glimpsed inside. I haven't

had time to read them(all the way through yet). I am looking foward to a quiet day , then I will

really be able to enjoy them.

Here is a few of the magazines that I do read. They all are very good. They also have free patterens in them. I enjoy them very much.

Here is my chair that I read, sew and hook in. It is really very comfortable.

I got this lamp at wal-mart to use to see to hook my rugs with.

Here are different size hoops that I use for everything. I quilt, crosstitch, punchneedle, and rug hook with them. I like usesing different sizes,

Now, here is my quilt hoop. That is what I use if for anyway. I have several different sizes for that.

These are some pots that I got at a yardsale. I may try to learn to dye some wool, once I get a few more.

Here are some wool sweaters and blazers (100percent wool) that I picked up at a few yard sales. I would love to find some more. I really need wool!!

Now here is my Frazier cutter. This nice, sweet little machine cuts my wool into strips. It cuts them according to the size cutter(that's the little wheel thing) you have.

Here is the way I put my material on the cutter, well this is a side view so that you can see what it looks like.

Now this is what it looks like at the end. See how it cuts the wool into strips. Man, I can't beleive that it took me so long o get a cutter. I love it that is for sure.

Now , here is the next patteren that I am going to try to doe. It is designed by Lavenderwool. These are the colors that I chose. Reminds me of my old barn as a child.

Here, is the first patteren that I have finished. I know that there is a lot of mistakes, but I will learn more as I go. I really, really need to learn to finish a rug. I can see that I don't know how to do the whip stitch at all. That's ok I am learning and having a blast doing it, and to me that's what counts.

new computer

Hi all I am back and with a different computer. Mine crashed and guess who didn't have backup? Yep! Me! I have learned a hard lesson. I will post more pictures a son as I can. Remember to make a back up it only takes a few minutes. I promise it will be worth it. I lost a lot and can't get it back. I am having to start over, please don't let this happen to you.

New Books

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I have been rather busy. My friend is getting married tomorrow and I have been helping her. I have been learning about some new crafts.

Here is three new books that
I have been reading,they are on rug hooking. They have been very interesting and very informaitive. I haven't read all of them but I am slowly reading them. I know i will read them over and over again.

Here is another type of hooking. You use a punch needle and yarn. I have just started reading it.

I will learn more and try it soon.

here is a book on miniture punch needle. This started my love of punching. It is amazing what you can do with a special needle and dmc floss and a few other types of floss. Most of these projects i can do in a day.
well, that's about it for tonight. I will try to get pictures of the different types of tools that I have to go with each book.
