UFOs

Unfinished Objects . . . everyone has some. I have many. And my rug making resolution for this year is to finish at least half of my rug hooking UFOs. So over the course of the next few weeks I'll be posting pictures of my various unfinished projects, in the hopes that I'll embarass myself into finishing a large portion of them.

So here's the first one -- my favorite:



This is my laptop case. More paisley. Aren't the colors scrumptious? It was inspired by a piece of fabric by Moda called Chocolat -- the name guarantees its deliciousness. (Is that even a word? Who cares? I could eat this fabric.)



So the nice soft cushy rug will be on the outside of the laptop case, and I will line the inside with the cotton. And we'll see how long it takes me to finish it. . . . And, since I've never seen a hooked laptop case anywhere else, we'll see how long it is before every hooker on the web is making laptop cases, lol!

I'm going to put another log on the fire (it is freezing here today) and sit and hook on it right now!

Stay warm,
Sarah

An Appropriate Christmas Gift . . .

I am -- quite obviously -- fond of antique paisleys. My sister Barb found a lovely piece of paisley on ebay just before Christmas and look what she made out of it -- for me!



I love his carefully needle felted face and his little lantern with real glass and his beard (fleece from her friend Martha's sheep) not to mention the exquisite piece of paisley. I may have to keep him out all year long . . . Now if only I can get my studio clean enough to find a spot for him . . .
