Happy Hooker



                    Yup that's me.....happy hooker.....


                                Not these days!!!  Seems like it's taking foreeeeeeeeeeeeeever to finish
                                                        this weeeee pumpkin pillow......


                                          I started hooking this pillow with the intentions of teaching
                                                    Miss A. and she would take over hooking....but
                                                               Miss A. thought I was going to teach her
                                                                           latch hooking......


                                                                  






                                                           You know the one that comes in a kit...
                                                                   the fabric in grids of colour and you hook
                                                                         and latch into that colour........

                                                      No I was hoping she would want to learn........

                                                                              my way....

                                                       I know that once she got the hang of it....
                                                                 .....but I was hopeful......
                                                                   Oh well....I purchased her a latch hook
                                                                            kit of a butterfly.......
                                                       She was so excited and eager to be taught.....
                                                                       

                                                                         So  I continue hooking........

                                                               

                                                     Notice I added in a sunflower! I changed over from
                                                         my lap hoop to this frame so I can hook into the
                                                                            corners......




                                                     Yes if you follow along on my journey ...yes I'm crocheting and
                                                                          knitting too......

                                                             Got to keep these hands busy.....

                                                                    Oh yes I sew too.... picked up some fabric
                                                                                it's been awhile since I did any dressmaking......
                                                                                             but I know if I put my mind to it.......

                                                    Making an Alice in Wonderland dress for Miss A.
                                                                         I'll keep you posted on my progress.......

                                                                             but for now I must...yes I must start hooking.........



                                                      Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!!

                                                                           Linda
