A Trip To Maine

Everyone made me laugh so much about the snow. It did snow off and on all of Friday but nothing stuck.

I had a great weekend a friend and I drove to Maine on Saturday to check out 2 rug hooking stores we had never been to. The first one was in Rollinsford NH called wool and goods. The owner Cathy was very nice and the store was lovely. I bought some wool and a new hook. One with a larger shank . Of course I was so overwhelmed with all the lovely wool and patterns I forgot my camera. She told us about Camp Wool in Kennebunkport. Since I was going to stop by George and Barbara's(Bush) to say hi : ) anyway, we went.

First of all I couldn't write enough words to describe camp wool. cozy, the cupboards the wool is displayed in are wonderful, the rugs displayed are amazing, the little group of chairs for her classes area are             comfortable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 The colors in these pictures are so washed out. If you could have seen this it was amazing.

 This is wooden box was filled with paisley, the color was amazing.

 There were wooden carriers all over filled with wool. She is holding a hook in next weekend and I hope to go. I have never been to one and would love to be with other rug hookers again. I bought more wool and the wool street journal.

 Where I found this picture of the rug I am working on. Page 35 Sammie's wool room, The colors are wonderful. Soooo I started to look at my rug and colors.....

 Mine looks a bit washed out do ya think???? now be honest. I do not want a black background, its the yellow that catches my eye. So I am going to do something I am very much against. I am going to pull out parts of my rug and hook in some mustard color. I think that people pull out their hooking way to quickly and should wait for the rug to be more done before they make the decision to pull out. I think that discourages people (me) when they are working on a piece.

 

I am off to reverse hook.  It is rainy and cold here. I have done my quota of house work for the day. I going to watch one of my movies I got at a yard sale and make a cup of tea. ,

I loved all of your comments they were wonderful!!!!! More, More, More, Please.

And a great big welcome to my new followers.
