New Crafts and 1 finish

This tag has dye instructions on it. Yes, she sent me that aslo. I don't know how to dye yet, but I will.

The next few pictures are a gift from Joan. She sent me all these!! I was so excited, it was like Christmas again. I played in them for hours. I only have two patterens to choose from, to make. I still don't know which one yet.

Here is about my fourth attempt at rug hooking. I tried several with wool. I tried ripping the wool myself, but it looked like a wool rat!(Awful) Well I sure wasn't about to send that! So I go get me a rotoary cutter, still looked bad. It did go from a wool rat to a shaggy dog! Finally, I decided to go with ribbon. It says it is to use for rug hooking. I gave it a try and I liked it. Most importantly, I got HOOKED!! And now I love it.

Here is the wool she sent with it. I love it. Sorry guys, she sent Choc. to, but I ate it. All I can say is that it was good.

Here is my trivet that I got from a trivet swap. It is from Liz. I love it. I hope to be able to to it that well. I am working on it.

I finally finished Carroll's Eagle Quilt. It is a cross stitch. I had to hang it on the door to get a picture. It has what the patteren called a photo frame boarder. I am not to sure about it . He likes it and I guess that's all that counts.

As you guessed, my new craft is Rug Hooking!! I feel in love with it after my first trivet. I am learning a little everyday. I just refuse to cut anymore wool until I get a cutter. I have it ordered, I am just waiting for it to arrive. I still haven't made up my mind what patteren I want to do. I want to get a patteren for a "mug rug". I think they are neat and I might be able to do that without messing up to bad. (I hope)
