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!

Tulips, Tulips, and more Tulips.......

Here they are! This bottom one is the one I just finished and listed on ebay. The other 2 rugs and 5 tulips... thankfully... already sold.

Looks like I will need to dye more red and mustard! LOL! Oh my...

Well, it was 55 degrees today..Love it!! Spring is in the air around here with all of the tulips!

These were fun, now I am off to hook some little chicks....Blessings & Hugs! Cathy

Hippity Hop!

Is it spring yet??? Not quite I suppose...but, I have been very busy hooking up tulips and bunnies! Here are the bunnies. They look pretty happy...lol

I used my Penny Bunny Pattern for both, I just hooked a carrot with floppy tops on one and I decided to hook them in cream rather than in brown.

I will post photos of my tulips and tulips rug next post. I am working on another tulip rug now, sort of an antique album quilt design! FUN!!

Tonight was date night with my valentine! lol! We had a super great dinner and shopped just a bit, then back home to the kids. It wa great not cooking and it is nice the kids are finally old enough so mom and dad can slip away for a while...boy you really need that sometimes...lol.. It was so quiet!!! I can't be gone for very long though, the kids tell me our little dog Libby whimpers at the door and won't eat, etc...while I am away. You may remember we got her back last fall, she was a rescue...she attached to me right away....god lover her!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Hugs! Cathy
