This has been one busy week! I feel awful that I haven’t had time to sit down and write! I’ve also have been feeling guilty not hooking, especially my Initially Yours letters. So I drew out U this morning anticipating I’ll have time to start hooking it this evening.
I’m thinking of honouring our American followers by hooking the U, for United States, in a stars and stripes pattern and then continuing that colour scheme throughout various motifs and background. Red, white and blue are favourites of mine so it will be a pleasure to hook. I threw all the colours together and I'll be chomping at the bit to get started. This will be the catalyst to get back into the swing of things and finish this project for the “ABC’s Of Rug Hooking” book and poster.
Deborah and I have been on pattern detail this week, building the stock for the back room. Summer is only a few months away and then the tourist traffic slows down production so we need to make hay while the sun shines. We’ve added new racks and expanded the existing ones for more space. Soon the entire perimeter room will be wrapped with patterns, like a big comfy shawl.
Today, every customer through the door warned of more snow coming tomorrow and although there might be some truth to this terrible, ugly and frightful rumour, I’m hopefully they’re all mistaken. In this neck of the woods, we’ve seen enough snow to last a lifetime. My shop roof is finally bare so the leaks have stopped, I thought the nightmare was over!!!
