Maybe just a “little” hooking going on

Last night a few of the girls came over to rug hook and have dinner.  I got a few pictures, but not a lot.  Now that I go back and look at the pictures……we are pre-hooking…….do you know what that is…..looking at books, chatting it up, having a cocktail…… “Skinny Girl Margaritas” that Sheri brought…..we had to sass them up with a little Grand Marnier….

 

 

Renee has been working on a rug for a for gentleman who’s wife (a rug hooker) passed away….it was a rug she (Barb Melton) started, but unfortunately, never had a chance to finish.

Sheri is working on hooking a purse…..it’s darling and I can’t wait for her to finish it, so she can show it to you on her blog.

Sandy is working on a rug for her grand-daughter, Aspen…….I actually got a few pictures of it to share with you.

The leaves are prodded and the eyes are going to have these cute little fabric covered brads in the middle…..

I love all the texture in the trunk of her tree….

 

…..and this is what happens ANY time you put a rug down on the floor…….Lonnie wants to get on it!  Caught him in the act of making his way over to put his head down on it!
