I made a doll right after Christmas but wasn't too happy with the way she came out. So I put her aside and started reworking my pattern. I've got 2 slightly different bodies/heads in the works but haven't finished them yet.  In the meantime I decided to work on something entirely differently for a while.  I've always been fascinated with wool rug hooking but had decided that I just had too many interests at the time to get involved in one more.  I recently picked up a copy of Primitive Quilts and Other Projects and after seeing the wool rug projects in the magazine I took the plunge!  I got some wool skirts from the Salvation Army and washed and cut them up.  Then I drew a heart on some burlap, bid on and won a rug hook on eBay, watched some videos on you tube and have started hooking.  So far, so good.  It's been slow going, but like anything else, practice makes perfect!

OK, so I haven't been on the blog in a while. Maybe this time I'll try keeping it up. It's been a cold, long winter here in the Southern Tier of New York State, as I'm sure it's been just about everywhere in the country. All I've wanted to do after getting home from work was to wrap myself up in a blanket and veg out in front of the wood stove while watching t.v. Now that there's more sunlight in the evening I actually feel like doing something! Unfortunately it's suppose to be in the 20's again next week! Isn't it Spring in 2 days?
