My version of the 1868 Ring of Roses hooked rug
We had three snow days this week, plus no school on Monday. I had the grands Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I should have had them Thursday also, but Mac has been sick. He's had a fever for almost a week. His dad stayed home from work on Thursday to take care of him, and give Grandma a break.
So I hooked. We had a bit of a snow storm. So I hooked some more. I've only left the house to take out the garbage.
I got quite a bit done. I am just using wool I have. I don't want to buy any more right now. Plus I figure in the old days they would've hooked with what they had. And I'm sure I've got a much bigger selection to choose from than they did.
The lighter blue in the middle is a bit brighter than I wanted, but again I'm using what I have. The blue-grey around the 1868 is a bit darker than I wanted. But I'm sure you guessed it, I'm using up what I have on hand.
That's it for today. Sunday dinner is my house this week. We're having chicken pot pie and fried apples. Yum. Sounds good.
Have a blessed Sunday, Sue
WOW! Talk about super hooker. I can't believe how quickly you have hooked that. Looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Mac is feeling better.
I just looked back to last Sunday's post. You had almost nothing hooked other than the border. Holy hell, woman. I am jealous.
ReplyDeleteLike Lauren said, you are a super fast hooker. I've had snow days too but sure as heck haven't accomplished what you have. You go girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful piece that makes it all the more authentic by using what you have. Sorry your grand has been sick tis the season.

A gorgeous rug! Hope your family is feeling better. My grands and daughter all had covid last week. UGH Janice
ReplyDeleteYour mat is very nice- the blues and creams and reds mesh excellently together!!!!! Really good. We’ve got an abundance of snow here now as well. Poor Mac. I hope he is on the mend .

Wow, you sure got a lot done on your rug in just one week. It looks amazing despite only using the wool that you already have.
