We finished driving home today. The weather was cooperative. We got snow for just a couple minutes. It was sunny for most of the way. And then we hit Ohio. Gray and gloomy, and luckily no snow or rain.
I chose an antique reproduction piece to hook, a gray dog holding a basket. My teacher was Lucille Festa. And my travel buddy for the week was Lauren (from Rugs & Pugs). I had such a good time. But I am glad to be home. I missed my family, I missed my dogs
End of day 1.
End of day 2.
This weekend we are to get blasted with snow. I've been reading 8-18". I sure hope not. I'll stock up on fresh groceries, bring in some more firewood and be prepared as best I can.
I sure missed this little dude. He sure looks happy.





I sure do like your dog. Fantastic job hooking thus far. Also glad you and Lauren got home safe and had fun! Janice
ReplyDeleteFun trip! Can’t wait until the next one 😘
ReplyDeleteRug looks great! Better be a Saundra and start thinking of the next one 🤣🤣🤣
As one who doesn't hook rugs, my first thought is to keep toward the black/dark gray/dark taupe colors, keep the sun(?), and let the dog & basket have all the attention. I had to go look at the original rug...love the dog. I'm not usually a fan of those big blotchy backgrounds. It seems like they steal to much attention from the focal point.
