Rug Hooked Bench Pad/Runner

Rug Hooked Hot Pads

Having experienced such glorious warm weather lately, I hesitate to say that I've been busy getting ready for two upcoming Christmas shows.   The 9th Annual Artisan Show & Sale, in support of Jamaican Self-Help, will be held November 21 (10am-4pm) and November 22 (11am - 4pm) at Mark St. United Church in Peterborough.   Christmas at the Marshland Centre in Lakefield celebrates its 10th year on November 28 and 29 (10am - 4pm), with donations at the door to the Lakefield Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and the Lakefield Food Bank. 

Here are a few small hooked pieces I've just completed - they're colourful, functional, and a great price point at just $35 each.   Each hot pad is hooked with wool on burlap, and measures approximately 8" in diameter.

Rug Hooked Mat

Vibrant and cheerful, this electric blue floral mat would be especially lovely bed-side, as a statement piece in a hallway, or tucked in front of an old cabinet or dry sink.    I have such a wonderful collection of bright colours in my stash - it seems I used them all in this one piece!

Stash busting!

After every rug hooking project, I toss all the leftover strands of cut wool into a big basket - and when the mound becomes unruly, I like to do some "stash busting".....These projects take a bit more time, but I enjoy the challenge of digging through the pile of cut wool to find just the right colour.  Truth be told, I don't think the stash will ever really disappear...

These stash buster hot pads were photographed at East of Eden Antiques in Woodview, Ontario.

Hooked Floral Rug

Craving colour and warmth, I started this hooked rug during the cold dark days of March - and finished it just as our beautiful verdant spring arrived!  Wouldn't this piece be especially sweet in a pretty bedroom, a light-filled living room, or a wicker-filled sunroom!?

Hooked with wool on burlap, the rug measures 34" x 22";  $300.

Upcycled side table

These little "half-moon" tables fit efficiently into so many small spots in the home - maybe in a sunroom beside a chair or sofa; bedside; or in a bathroom.  This piece was transformed from its original dark brown, glossy stain to a soft vanilla colour topped with (in this case) a pretty floral cotton fabric, and sealed for protection.
