Picking up the hook

It’s been a while since I picked up my hook……

I always have good intentions of hooking a bit every day, but it seems like other “stuff” manages to get in the way.  Sometimes I just feel like my mind is all over the place and I just can’t “settle” and get ANYTHING done.

Yesterday I actually left the house on my day off and went shopping…..it was fun….looking for things that might possibly make my husband smile when he unwraps them on his birthday.

I spend a lot of my days off staying completely at home.  No, I don’t have a phobia about leaving my house….I guess I just love my home and feel completely content to stay here when I have time off work.

That “no rush” feeling of getting up, sipping coffee while I read other folks blogs, leisurely having breakfast at say, 9am, instead of the usual grabbing coffee on the way out the door at 6:15 on a work day.   It’s just nice to be at home and let your day unfold.

Last night we were ordering in pizza, so that gave me time to sit and hook.  A lot of my time is taken on making decisions about colors.  With this rug it is also taking more time to think of different ways to embellish as well.

The greens and yellows I worked with last night make me happy.

Creating with a new technique makes me happy as well.
