Happy Memorial Day~I just listed this pillow on ebay...100% of the proceeds go to the Fallen Troop Foundation. Link below the photo.....God Bless our TROOPS!!!

More New Creations.............

These are my latest hooked creations. I am almost done with my owl pattern and listed my Bee Skep Pattern on ebay ans etsy.  I think the strawberries will be a pattern too, also working on my witch make do pattern.

I am really ready for it to stay warm, ready to put away the coats for awhile..lol....

Hope everyone is doing well! Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day and Easter, etc...

Have you ever started cleaning something and made it worse??.......... back to my spring cleaning! lol!

New Creations!

These are my latest offerings on ebay, the owls are still for sale, the other two sold. This last one is the Tea Cozy I made. FUN, FUN! What to do next?? Hum...lots of ideas floating around, now which one to put on linen. Which reminds me...I need to order more. I have had pattern requests, just need more prim. linen, getting very low.

Toothbrush/Amish Knot Chair Pad.....

I made this for my mom, she had a rocking chair she wanted it for. Has anyone made these, do you like the method, or how they look? I am not really a braider, and have never made any rag rugs. I have SO much cotton fabric, trying to put it to good use...lol..I do love the scrappy look of these. I am currently working on an oval rug and another chair pad.

You can use wool strips too, but wool is a bit thick, the cotton strips are user friendly...lol... Kinda different and fun. Have a great weekend.....Is spring really here?? Not so sure...

Antique Chicken and Home Rugs...

Here are a couple of my recent ebay offerings..... The chicken is from an antique punched tin design, possibly an old pie safe???? The "Colonial Home" is my own design. 

I tried to change my blog background...oh my....hope it looks ok, I see things are overlapping.....I better just stick with my HOOK!!!lol

Daffodil Bunny is now a pattern, available in my ebay store. 

Working on a Tea Cozy! Have a super wonderful week! Cathy

Idea for using scrap foundation fabric...mothproof too...

Hello~! I always have quite a bit of scrap linen and monks cloth. I can only hook so many flowers...lol.... So...I thought of a way to use it up and help repel the moths at the same time......Sachets! I used a lil' penny posy design, but the sky is the limit on design. I filled mine with Cedar Chips, but you can also use Lavender, Cloves, Thyme, or Cinnamon. If you think of any other natural repellents, please do share in the comment section.

I thought the loose weave would let the scent out and they could be cute at the same time..lol. I also have some loosely woven wool that is not large enough for a pillow and too loose to cut into strips, so I may try it next.

I simply stitched them together on my sewing machine, but I am sure there are other ways. I used a large needle to feed the dyed jute through the tops.

If you have any questions, or more ideas.....let me know...Happy Hooking!!!

Daffodil Bunny!

Hello! I got my chicks done and listed on ebay. Now this is my newest creation, meet Daffodil Bunny! I think I may turn her into a pattern? Her tail is roving, hooked then clipped to form a fuzz ball...lol. cottontail! She is 16" x 10."

We are supposed to get freezing rain tonight and more snow tomorrow...ugh! Come on and hurry Spring! Enough of the snow!
