Last Days of Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Retreat .....

There I am just hooking away.I did get some things done this week.Today was the last day of the retreat and everyone has gone home.Pray they all get home safely.It is so sad to see everyone start packing up and leaving.It feels like they are all leaving me.
Here are most of the hookers that came to the Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Retreat this year.We had great group of ladies and I think everyone had fun.
I did finish the hooking on this rug and got the edge to the one below done.
This rug is my pattern and is called "Tree of Love" and I do sell the pattern on monks cloth.It is a sweet little pattern and hooks up fast.

I have a few more pictures I will post tomorrow.


Live Deeply and make art not war.

Rugs For Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Retreat...

Here are some of the rugs for the rug show at Eureka Springs Rug Retreat.I think 12 rugs have been finished at the retreat this year.

Day Two of Eureka Springs Rug Retreat...

It was a wild day at the retreat today.Look through the picture and think about 39 women in a room together with at least 500 lbs. of wool and lots & lots of chocolate.Enjoy the rugs that are being worked on and a few that are now done.
If you would like to come see the rugs and talk to the ladies you can come on Tuesday.

Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Retreat has Started....

The hookers have made it to town and the Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Retreat has started.

I am not going to write much,I will let the pictures do the talking.






This what you need when you plan to hook for 5 days in a row.Look at all the wool!


I will keep you posted as the days go by.


Live Deeply and hook!

Cold in the Ozarks.......

This is what happens when it gets below freezing in the Ozarks.If you come to my house you drive across a creek that is right in front of our house.It crosses the road and then drops right off this cliff.
That is our house back there in the background.It is so beautiful when the snow is on.
Here are some more UFO's I found as I have been cleaning the studio.Ok, all you hookers out there, how many rugs do you hook before you stop and finish them up. I have at lest three of them.I also have at least four rugs going right now.I think I better get to work hooking.
Some of you have asked how the cleaning job is coming,so here are a few pictures of what i have done so far.I can now sew at my sewing table and not at my kitchen table.
The wool looks better,now maybe I can find the colors I need to finish all them rugs.
Books,books and more books.I need a better plan for this but it will have to wait till the big studio gets done.


Live Deeply and go hook a rug.

UFO's found as I Clean!!!

Well, the cleaning is coming right along I really think there is hope.As I have been working I am finding some UFO's(un-finished objects) in all that mess.This is a rug I started with Nola Heidbreder at the Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Camp.So my plan is to finish each one of the UFO's I come across.
This is the first one I am working on.I finished the middle one last night.Aren't they cute.


Live Deeply and Keep on Hooking,
Vicki

Happy New Year and My Big Job...

Happy New Years!
This is what we got up to this morning and it is beautiful.
The birds are having a fun time in the trees.
And they are having to work hard to find something to eat.
Now for my big job!How do we let things get so bad....I have a room that is my art room (for right now) but,I can't even get in it let alone make something in it.I have been pulling wool out for the rugs I have been working on and then I would just pile what was left now the table or in the floor.I have been doing this all summer because of my job,I made the time to work on art but not put things away.Now I am paying for that!
So now this is my bit job.Find a place for everything.We are working on a real studio that will have lots of room, but till that is done I have to work in this space.
I need a good plan on how to deal with all this stuff.Books,books, and more books.
I had to bring my sewing machine to the living room before Christmas so I could make a gift.I will keen you posted on how things are going.
