New Hooked Rugs/Sunnie/Old Crow Farm

Whew!!!  What a year to date!  I think I can start posting again after such a busy time!!  I hope you are all well and hooking away (or doing what makes you happy!)

I finished 4 of the 5 rugs for the special order and am finishing up the 5th.  Just the finish work to do…tacking down the rug tape, putting on the labels, final steaming, etc.  Then off it goes to Idaho. : )  I really love the winter deer…it was such fun to hook! : )

Below are two rugs I am working on now…after finishing these, I hope to do a Blog rug but I keep saying that and then something else comes up!!!!!  LOL 

 The first is “Chicken with Bugs!”  : ) (I had fun doing the bugs and the chicken is a pair of ladies slacks from the Goodwill!)

The second is “Rover’s On The Rug” which is inspired by an antique rug.  The original was in several beige wools with black…but I’m not a “beige” person!!!!  LOL

And here I am, hooking away (at a rug demonstration) where Nancy, one of my hooking friends, caught me!!

Have a great day…and happy hooking!!!  : )

These are the rugs I’ve been working on while I haven’t beeen Blogging!!!!

I hope you all are well and doing lots of fun things!!!!!  Happy Hooking!  : )  Sunnie ; )

Hooked Rugs – June Days!/Sunnie at Old Crow Farm

I must apologize for not posting for awhile!!! 

While finishing up a couple of things before starting my new Blog rug, I received a commission for 5  small rugs…so I’m working on those now.  : )   They are great fun and are going to a wonderful shop in Idaho.

With the nice weather, we have been outside  working too…you all know what that means!!!  But I hope to start another Blog rug pretty soon!  : )  I hope you are all well, happy and hookin’ away on something fun!!!

New Hooked Rug-Hooked “Sign”/Sunnie

 

Update…progress on my silly sign with “the guys”!!!  LOL

**************************************************************

Before I get started on my next rug, I’m finishing up a few things!!!

I thought you might enjoy seeing the sign I am hooking for my booth and for any displays I might have with my “funny” rugs!!  LOL

(I have had people asking me for several years why I don’t hook a sign for my booth…and I have a more “sedate” one designed to do later on, but this was too much fun!!)  : )

When I was looking at medieval designs for the idea for “Tom Foolery”, I found several jesters, fools, jugglers and even clown pictures that looked fun to play with!  I decided to do a sign using a couple of figures and played with the design of these two goofy guys!!!!  LOL

This is the top of the rug and I’ll do my lettering below.  I’ll post a picture when I get the lettering done.  (Whoops, I see where I need to take out a bit of the light lavender and put in the darker purple to continue the ruffle on the left figure!)  : )

I had dyed a couple of wool pieces in yellows and apricots so thought I’d use that for a “warm” background!!  The faces were a “hoot” to do…such fun!!!  LOL

 

Happy Hooking!  : )
