Since the Eliot Hook-in, I'm on a hooking roll! I did bring the Woolen Memories Vintage Urn pattern, and I've gotten some good hooking done this week!
I love this rug. You know how it is when the hooking just rocks? All the wool you have is dyed perfectly, and you don't have to think about what you are pulling for a strip? Well, that is the magic of this rug for me! And boy, did I need it! I can't wait to finish the middle section this weekend and start the hit or miss!
I'll keep you posted.
I'm so glad to welcome so many new followers. I have tried to get you onto my sidebar, but for some reason, I can't save to my sidebar. I can follow people, but adding you to my blog list causes my computer to freeze. I need to sit down and make a list of all of the blogs I've got missing so far. Blogger is a bugger at times, yes?
Could I be more psyched for the weekend? Time to hook, dye wool, go antiquing...use my weight watchers points! Hope you have a lovely couple of days off!

Ahh Courtney, what a beautiful rug and I love the colors. I'm so glad that everything is going smooth for you on this hooking.
Blogger has been playing tricks on me too this week. I would be typing a comment and it would disappear and appear on my own blog and last evening it even appeared as a post on my blog with someone else's blog title. Weird...
Gorgeous Courtney....So glad you hit a smooth patch - I haven't had one of those hooking (or otherwise) for some time....Enjoy every moment of your weekend! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I love the rug. And lucky you... the weekend is here! Hooray! Have fun!
How lovely! I am so inspired! I wondered about the frame for the darling piece you sent me. Will a Quick Snap work?
For your WW points, what will you have?? I vote for something decadent! Ice cream... Oh Yeah... That's the thing... with lots of fruit... whipped cream. .... nuts... Drool...
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Courtney, it sounds like you are having a great day. Your rug is just beautiful! I know what you mean, that is such a great feeling when you are in a creative "zone". :) I have started working on a new needlepoint canvas, with red poppies. I have been doing so much knitting I haven't picked up any needlepoint in about a year. I was really happy to see that my hands still had all their memory and I was stitching away without having to concentrate. It is so relaxing when that happens. Have a wonderful weekend! Delisa :)
I love that rug. Sweet pattern but it is your color choices that are perfect!
Blogger does equal buggar at times! Your rug looks wonderful! Keep it up - that motivational roll!
Enjoy your weekend. Your rug is just beautiful. I do hope you have time to do all you want.
Have fun.
It's going to be a beauty! Glad you went with the urn pattern. Can't wait to see the finished rug.
I can't wait to see the rug finished. Beautiful colors. Yes, blogger is very frustrating at times, especially for me...I am a bit computer challenged.
WOW, you are on a roll! Loving your rug. I think I've said this before...your hooking reminds me of mine. Have a great weekend doing what you love to do!
I really like that design, it's really pretty and springlike. Enjoy your weekend - sounds as though you have some great things to do.
Courtney...your rug is wonderful! You are really making progress. You have inspired me to keep going on my "taking forever, doesn't look like I've done a thing, when am I going to finish this thing" rug...you know the one!
Enjoy the weekend...Go Pats! (my husband is from CT.)
Big hug,
Robyn
I love that mat, glad you chose to work on it again. Enjoy those WW pts!
Your rug is looking gorgeous! It's good to hear your excitement about it! You may have given me the energy to begin a rug today too! :-)
What a lovely rug...I've seen many gals show their new creations...I have mine sitting in my craft room upstairs just staring at me as I walk by...wondering when I'll pick them up instead of my sewing...goodness who knows but I miss doing it and seeing yours makes me want to find time now to do mine.
Karen
love your rug and glad to hear its a rocken for! enjoy your weekend!
Courtney, I love your rug! Great choice of colors. It is great when a rug you are hooking on just works!! I haven't had one of those for awhile!
WOW!!! I love that rug!
I'm glad you're having so much fun with it. We all need a rug like that from time to time.
Enjoy your weekend!
I love your excitement and enthusiasm which just might have motivated me to get up out of my chair from knitting and do something else....
I love the rug you are working on; beautiful colors. It will be fun to see it when you are finished...
Have a great weekend.....
Yep, blogger gives me fits at times too! I'm loving your rug - it's been a long time since a rug came together for me the way this one is for you - it's a wonderful feeling, huh?
That's so pretty! Love the colors!

LOVE the rug!
Pug hugs :)

Mmmmm, LOVE your rug! And yes, I just love that feeling when it all comes together, and the hooking is sooooo enjoyable. I haven't had a rug like that in a while. I'm struggling on the ones I'm doing now. Really can't wait to see more of it!!
I can read your love of your project in the words I read. I love the design, the colors and your hooking. It is going to be beautiful when done and can't wait to see it finished.

Lovely colors, Courtney. Feels like springtime.
Sarah
Oh Courtney, this is going to be so lovely. I love, love the colors! Your talent amazes me girl. Sure doesn't look like you need to be worrying about Weight Watchers. Me, now that's a different story.
Hugs,
Jann
The rug is beautiful! I love your color selections!
Courtney,
Your rug is coming along nicely. Love the wools. Stay on your roll girl! Hugs, Lori
Love your rug and your bog!
That is going to be one beauty of a rug and just love all the colors you are using! Glad your having fun hooking it up.
Hi Courtney!
I love your rug, though I am not a rug hooker (but hope to be someday) and love seeing it all come together!! Beautiful!!
I also wanted to thank you for following my blog too!! We can all be so inspired by one another...thanks for inspiring me!!
Blessings~~

Courtney
I can see why you are so pleased with your rug, thus far. It's a beaut! Congrats on so many followers too.
I'm afraid I get so frustrated with blogger, I just give up at times, then come back to it. It seems tempermental.
You certainly do have me biting at the bit!! I can't wait to try hooking... The rug you are working on is wonderful. I just LOVE the colors.
I may not know hooking but I do know what you mean about your project being one of those where everything just seems right. I love it when that happens!
Blessings, Debbie
Oh Courtney, Your rug looks wonderful. Please show us more when you get more done. I would also love to post it on my website when you finish. sandy-Woolen Memories
