A few of MY favorites

Saturday, blogless Sandy and I headed to Lenexa, Kansas

for the annual Rock Creek Hook-In.

In an effort to stay true to myself, I decided this year to take pictures of MY favorites from the show.

I think you’ll notice that I’m being drawn to bright colors, original designs, and

of course…..animals!

Hope you enjoy! If I happen to run across any blogs or sites that have pictures of the

full show I’ll be sure and let you know.

I love the bright color and general craziness of this

rug….check out that wild hair! Love it!

Wish I knew the story behind this rug….it’s one of

those pieces that makes you ponder.

***

Tumbling bunnies….what could be cuter?!

***

All I can say is that is one brave bird! Digging the

bright yellow background and the funky striped

piping on this pillow.

***

I really love the background on this Klimt inspired

rug!

***

Again, sweet animals and kids…a rug inspired

from a photograph. It has a dreamy quality to it.

***

Love the abstract approach that the hooker took

on this rug. Never would have thought of hooking

the sky quite like that, but it really works in this

rug!

***

Such happy colors in the froggy rug, this one

really makes me smile!

***

Digging this scrappy happy rug!

***

What a cool idea….melding a found window frame

with hooking….wonder if the window frame is from

the couple’s house who is depicted in this rug?

***

Brights against darks…..LOVE!

***

Very chic and Jackie O!

***

Fluffy clouds, a cute dog, chocolate and hats…

what’s not to like?!

***

Sculpted hooking and embroidery? Too cool!

***

Love these birch trees!

***

Not something I would normally be drawn to, but

I love all the motion in the water against the

peacefulness of the sky and tree shadows on

the snow.

***

This looks like such an old rug! Love the wonkiness

of it all!

***

Again, love the old looking colors in this one and

I think it has a lovely old looking frame on it!

***

I definitely need to try the sculpting sometime soon!

This was a rug in Susan Quicksall’s booth.

***

Another Susan Quicksall rug…..WOW! Again, quite

taken with the waves and the sky!

***

I believe this was in Sally Kalin’s booth….glad

she displayed it, even though it’s still in progress….

I think it’s wonderful!

***

Today it’s back to the REAL world of work….vacation

was such fun! I’ll post soon about finishing the Redbud

Runner….had no idea so many people were interested

in the FINISHING topic.
