Hooking in theOzarks.....

Last Friday a group of ladies got together and hooked at Jody's home in Rogers.We had a great time and are planning to do it once a month.I am also hoping to start a group at my home soon.Above is Annie,a new hooker,hehe...this was her first time to hook.She has been a want-to-be hooker for a long time and has been buying everything she needed to get started so we got her on her way.
It was good to see Mary Jane again as I have not seen her in almost a year.We are planning a trip to her Bed and Breakfast to have a hooking weekend.I, for one can't wait.

For all you people that do not hook I want to show you what happens when you hook very long.Every time you hook a rug you end up with more cut strips then you need and you toss them in a basket.We call the strips"worms". When that basket is full you start a new basket and so on and so on. I hope you get the picture.At some point you have to stop the madness and hook a rug or two or three, to use up the worms.So, I have started #1.
This is my pattern I call "Scrappy Stars". I have had many people wanting to see this pattern hooked so now is the time.I will keep you posted on how it is coming.
I love my big frame for this kind rug,I can see most of it at one time and I don't have to move it a lot.


Live Deeply and get ready for snow.

I'm really liking your new rug. Scrap quilts and scrap rugs have always been my favorites! Can't wait to see it all finished.
