It's been a LONG while since....
well, everything.
...since I've posted, since I've visited/commented on blogs,
since I've hooked, punched, or had anything fun or good to post about.
It's been a long while since I laughed, really laughed....
....went for lunch....or went anywhere just because.
But I did yesterday....
Yesterday, I went with my hooking pal, Cathy from Red Barn Rugs, to Country Freckles and crashed their little Thursday hooking group.
Me, well, I didn't get much hooking done, but it was good to catch up on the fun stuff at the store and all of the new Red Barn Rugs' patterns.
Since it's also "been a while" since I've shared some hooky stuff with you, I decided to today....
(Unless otherwise noted, these are all Red Barn Rugs designs/patterns, and were all hooked by the proprietress thereof (i.e., the talented Cathy) herself....)
(Red Barn Rugs' design/pattern hooked by Mary Jo)
(Lib Calloway design/pattern being hooked by Kris)
(Red Barn Rugs' design/pattern being hooked by Joy)
(Cathy's newest pattern and current project)
Gee, all this hooking makes me want to play hooky. (Get it?) Ok....sorry. Back to the books for this crow.
Hope all is well in your worlds...and will try to check in soon!
Good to see you Crow - you've been greatly missed! (But you knew that, yes)?
ReplyDeleteHope things are settling down (or have decreased to a dull roar at least) in Nod.
Hugs

ReplyDeleteOh crank crow, you can't possibly be too cranky when surrounded by those amazing rugs! So glad you took the time to stop and smell the roses!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your post today - just like everyone else! Love all the rug pictures - great designs and great work! I haven't pulled any loops for several weeks now - I'm totally into making small quilts and can't seem to stop myself! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey girl. So glad you had some fun! Love your header photo. Those first two rugs are my favorites but they are all so beautifully done. Now play hookey tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see a hooking post from the Crow! You deserve a day out with some hookers :). Those are some fab rugs. My current one seems kind of beige/bland. Can't wait to finish and hook colors!
ReplyDeleteWell look who made an appearance! Great to "see" you my friend! Are you keeping warm up there? I was going to go to Tomahawk last Tuesday because my nephew had a swim meet in Rhinelander but Rhinelander got called off of school because of the cold so the swim meet was cancelled, Now it is the 29th so might be up there then.
ReplyDeleteLove the hooking going on here! I would love to learn how to do that someday!
Take care my friend!
Be blessed,
Cindi
Geez I wish there was a shoppe close to me where I could lean how to be a hooker. ;0) These rugs are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and so glad you finally had time to go out and do something fun. Have a great weekend! Janice
ReplyDeleteNice rugs...
ReplyDeleteI cannot do those. My hands could never take that stress...
I was wondering where you were and if you were okay....glad to see you back. All of those rugs are beautiful. The last one (sheep) really captures my heart. Hooking is something on my bucket list....wish I knew where to begin. LOL... Take care.
ReplyDeleteWiping the drool from the keys..smile...Those are all just gorgeous! Hugs!~Amy
ReplyDeleteWow - they are all just gorgeous. I really want to be a hooker!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you posting Robin. We have missed you.
ReplyDeleteCathy is very talented. I am glad you got to go out with her and have some much needed "me" time. There are just some things that "real life" friends can do us that our wonderful blogging friends can't. I am glad she is there for you. -Steph-

Wonderful rugs, my feathered friend. It's difficult to pick a favorite...but the colorway on the first one is always my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you...stay warm!
Robyn

Love the hooked rug pieces....it must have been nice to have gotten out. I think we're all getting a little cabin fever.
ReplyDeletethey are all gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...... I am loving the Lib Calloway design Kris is working on. You must hunt her down when it's complete and share a photo of the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI just dropped by to look for a hint of what you are teaching. Thus far it doesn't appear to be rug hooking. I better to read on and look for more clues. ;o)
