You are so smart. I am going to right that down in my book of necessary info .
Well, do you suppose we are going to get our own Cross Stitch forum? What more do we have to do?

I'd love to see a cross stitch forum as well! It's a craft I've neglected for too many years, have at least two projects sitting waiting for attention.

Oh... I've been so bad. I haven't worked on it at all for quite awhile. I have been working on my punch needle work like crazy. If you go to my blog you can see what I have been up to. I am also trying my hand at rug hook, not latch hook.

I'm off soon to a quilt meeting to sew on a BOM soon but I will check out both sites when I return. Just wanted to tell you that my Mom and my Grandmother were both traditional rug hookers!!!! I have a rug my grandmother made in 1943 during WWII for which she cut every strip of wool by hand!!!! The rug is about 7' X 10'....My Mom used to dye all her own wool to get the colors she wanted. She won several blue ribbons for her work. I do so many kinds of handwork but just could not get interested in the hooking.... Isn't it funny how that goes???

OMG, I would love to see a picture of that rug. How fortunate for you. The little one I am working on is my first and the next ones will be made of wool. I just wanted to get the hang of it. The one I am working on is made from a painting done by a 10 year old little girl that I saw on her mothers blog. I got permission to use it and then I am going to send it to her when it is done. I think I am just going to make it into a pillow or frame it.
I guess I will be on the look out now for old wool coats or skirts or what ever I can find to cut up and use. I can buy it all ready cut but that would get real spendy fast.
