It's Finally Done

The colors are not just right and I have a blurry spot on it but it's done!
Except for the binding that is.
***
OK I have a big secret OK at least it is to me.
do you want to know what it is???
huh?
OK OK
I am teaching a beginning rug hooking class.
There I have said it. I know there are many of you
that are way more talented than I am.
They approached me at first I said no but
I gave it another thought and said why not???
My first class was last night it was fun and there
was talent in that room.
My next door neighbor is one of the students she
called to tell me she was bringing me dinner now how great is that?

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Congratulations on finishing your little mat and
congratulations on teaching others how to hook by teaching rug hooking... It's nice to have some creative talents in the group.

Keep us up to date on how things are going. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures of rugs in the future. Good luck with this.

Hugs,
JB

Good for you! I'm sure the class is a ton of fun and creativity! One of my fav places to get a cute item is called "Backdoor Primitives" and they also have rug hooking supplies and other crafty things going on. Well, I went in the other day and they are closing so they can just have rug hooking classes and supplies. I'm not a hooker, but I'm betting there are many around here who do hook..should be a good place to hang out. Have a good weekend. I missed your previous post somehow..your Granddaughter is so adorable and she's growing up fast!

Oh Cathy! Welcome to the teaching world of rug hooking! I felt the same way when I first started teaching and still get a little nervous before each class. But when my students say at the end of the class how much they enjoyed it and I see them hooking away it brings so much happiness and satisfaction! You will be blessed with so many new friends!
I love your rug it is so sweet and cheerful!
Congrats and big hugs for taking that step into teaching!

Way to go! Not only getting your mat done (and I think the colors look great) but also the teaching gig. Teaching is good for the soul and like Cathy G said you will get so much more out of it!
