How To Make A Hooker????

 A few weeks ago I went back up to Springfield, Il. to teach rug hooking to a fiber group I met when I was living up there.
 Miss Penny was our host and provided us a beautiful home  to meet in and me a lovely bed to sleep in.Her and her hubby also feed me very good.
 As the ladies got comfortable with the hooking they found the soft chairs to work.

 Here are some happy hookers working hard.
 Here you can see how the ladies did. Great job girls!



 Alice here was a ringer in the class, she has been a Fine Hooker for years.
 My beautiful hostest Penny.


Mary is a Fine Hooker too.Her and Alice are sisters and learned to hook from their grandmother.

I had a great time teaching this group of ladies to hook,I love making baby hookers.I do worry sometimes that I overwelem  them with to much info.

The Hogscald Holler Come to you from Springfield,Il.

I know it has been a while sense I have posted much so I thought I would let you know what has been happening in me life.

All last year I had a new job that I liked very much but it took a lot out of me.When I got home everyday I could not get the energy up to do much.Then we had a new grand baby come and we just had to spend our free time getting to know her.

Now for the big change, in Nov. Adam took a new job in Springfield,Il. 420 miles from home.He went there and I stayed here to finish my job for the year.


I spent the month of Jan. in Springfield with Adam.This pic is of the apartment building we have there. Right down town Springfield. That is a LOT for this little county girl.

I think I will be spending 2 weeks there and 2 weeks in the hollow.I can't give up my Ozarks.

Now all you hookers and fiber artist in Illinois, let me know where you are and if there are any shows or hook-ins going on.I would love to meet fiber people from Illinois.
I think I will be looking for a place to host a camp up there.
