I DO PRIMITIVE RUG HOOKING SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A PIECE WITH YOU SOMETHING I HAVE NOT DONE BEFORE. I COMPLETED THIS PIECE WHICH MEASURES ABOUT 24 INCHES BY 32 INCHES. I DESIGNED IT MYSELF FOR MY NEICE'S WEDDING GIFT. THE FOUR BOXES REPRESENT: TOP RIGHT - LOVE, TOP LEFT - THE HOLY TRINITY, BOTTOM LEFT - HOME, AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT - THE TREE OF LIFE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO DO BUT IT TOOK FOR EVER..... A PIECE THIS SIZE COULD WELL FETCH $500.00 IF SOLD. I ENJOY DYING SOME OF MY OWN WOOL TO OBTAIN CERTAIN COLOURS AND EFFECTS. I REALLY ENJOY WORKING ON BACKGROUNDS ESPECIALLY SKIES. PRESENTLY, I AM WORKING ON A HUGE SUNFLOWER PIECE BUT I AM TAKING A BREAK FROM IT AS IT IS VERY HOT TO WORK ON IN THE SUMMER.
IT IS RAINING HARD TODAY AND I AM GLAD BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN VERY....HOT AND HUMID. THE FARDENS NEED A REAL GOOD SOAKING THAT ONLY THE RAIN CAN BRING. IT ALSO GIVES ME TIME TO CATCH UP ON HOUSEWORK, JEWELLERY MAKING AND OF COURSE MY EMAIL!!
I HAD MY NAILS DONE YESTERDAY AND I HAD SOME NEW WATER DECALS TO PUT ON THEY ARE A BLACK, CHIUNESE DRAGON. THEY LOOK REALLY NEAT ON MY SPARKLY PINK POLISH.
I HAVE TO TAKE MY GIRLFRIEND TO THE TRAIN STATION TODAY AT 2:30. SHE IS GOING HOME FOR A FAMILY FUNCTION AND WILL RETURN ON MONDAY. SHE HAS A VEHICLE BUT SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO DRIVE TOO FAR FRO HOME. SHE BECOMES EADILY DISTRACTED WITH HER BP AND DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN HERSELF. SO THE TRAIN IS JUST MUCH LESS STRESSFUL. I'LL MISS HER WHILE SHE IS AWAY.
WELL, ONE WEEK FROM TODAY MY HONEY BEAR WILL BE OFF TO MAINE FOR 3 PLUS WEEKS. THAT REALLY SUCKS!!! BUT MY GAL PAL AND I ARE MAKING PLANS TO DO THINGS.
WENT TO MY DOC YESTERDAY AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS STILL HIGHER THAN HE WOULD LIKE SO HE INCREASED MY WATER PILLS. THAT'S GOOD FOR ME AS IT HELPS ME RETAIN LESS FLUID WHICH IS A REAL ISSUE WITH ME IN THE HOT WEATHER.
WELL, I MUST FET MY BUTT IN GEAR AND MAKE THE BED AND GET DRESSED. TAKE TO YOU SOON.

the rug is just beautiful.. thanks for sharing with us.. we have had alot of rain and the grass is finally turning green again as it suffered so from the heat wave.. happy that your girlfriend is coming back to keep you busy.. wish they could get your pressure back to normal. hugs ..marie
Lovely rug Debbie! What patience it must have taken. The rain was refreshing and needed. take care xo
I admire you for your beautiful work. I can not do anything that requires sitting and moving my hands. It makes me antsie,(new word). I can embroider but never sit long enough to do it, I have to be sick to sit still. I embroidered the back of my jean jacket in the 60\'s, it is pretty cool, yes I still have the jacket. I should post it. You will have a good time when Hubby goes since your friend is going to keep you company, that is great. Not that you won\'t miss him but you won\'t be alone. Don\'t you just love when mother nature waters everything. Saves us a big job. Hugs NJ xo
