Friday! I thought it would never get here. :-) By the time I get home from work tonight I should be ready to start on the bottom of Alphabet Sampler - it's going to take a while because there is a ton of stitching there. I have no chance of finishing it this weekend. :-) Way to many other projects going on.
I'm almost done with my house. The I'll do the vine and then start to put a row of background around the house and the vine. I'm following the advice from the kit maker - she included some nice instructions with the kit. I can't wait to take my drive tomorrow to the rug store. It's located inside a primitive style decorating type store. I just wish I had more money this week. I could go crazy in a place like that. :-) I'm hoping to pick up my second hooking project. :-) I guess this hooking thing is going to become a regular feature in my life. I have so many design ideas that I want to do. And there many that I can draw myself because they are basic quilt squares or penny type rugs with primitive cats and birds and such. I REALLY want to do a prim pug rug. Also on the list for the week - piece together at least six more blocks from my Paintbox Squares quilt, strip all the darks and mediums for my log cabin quilt and piece a few more baskets for my mini quilt.
And of course hook and stitch. :-)
Enjoy yours!

Wow, you're making such great progress on both your projects! I hope you have fun on your drive to the store tomorrow and I hope that you come back with the great things. This rug hooking is addictive, isn't it! Can't wait to see what you bring back.
You may have said earlier, but what is the fabric you are doing your ABC sampler on??? It is PERFECT for the sampler I have on the horizon to start.....thanks, Faye

If you figure out a prim pug rug ~ LET ME KNOW!!! I will send you a picture of one from the rug show at Sauder Village. It was fantastic but I would not consider it primitive. I think it was hooked with about a #6 cut to get the detail. That's like hooking with spagetti!
Pug hugs :)
