This morning was special, I was just about to close Rug Hooking Daily's main page when I saw a familiar title. I was shocked to say the least when I saw that my blog Of Petals and Wool was chosen as this week's featured blog. You probably can imagine my facial expression with the mouth wide open and my jaw hanging. I was speechless, then I started to giggle. I was all by myself and thank goodness there was no one around to hear me...
I had said yesterday that I needed to slow down and start to hook again real soon, so today I zigzag around the backing and I set all my little sketches on the big piece of graft paper and arranged it the best I could and taped them in place because they kept shifting.

| THERE HAS BEEEN SOME MINOR CHANGES ADDED AFTER THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN. THE SWIMMERS WERE DRAWN LARGER AND THE RASPBERRY ON THE LEFT SIDE WAS MOVED ON THE OTHER UPPER SIDE |
I was working on the floor but my knees were complaining so I put the extra leaves on the dining room table and moved everything there so that I could draw on my burlap after supper.
And as Murphy's law would have it, I got some company and my plan went out the window. I had to remove my rolled backing off the table to make room for my husband and his visiting friend to have coffee and lemon pie. I was planning on having my design all done or mostly finished for this evening's blog, but instead I'm eating humble pie.
I drew my little one room school house and that's as far as I got. Tomorrow is another day and I may make some changes, one never knows. I'm really excited that I am a step closer to start hooking again.
Congratulations on the featured blog. I noticed it early today but didn't want to ruin another surprise for you! lol AND I knew you would be eating all that leftover pie.....hahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, you had your turn and you know the feeling...
ReplyDeleteActually it's a lemon pie that I brought for my husband's friend. After every church supper he want to buy one of each apple, lemon and pumpkin pie before we have finished serving people and every time my answer is that I can't sell him a pie until we are sure that we have enough. and every time I offer to bake him what he wants and I give the money to the church supper coffer. Only yesterday I decided to serve this pie to my handy man instead. I'll bake him his pies when he returns from Montreal next week.
I bet you have a really good time hooking your rug, all the memories that will come to you. I haven't had a chance today to look around the RHD, congratulations - perfect pick for the featured blog, you are so faithful in posting! Your followers will probably increase. /Deb
