Other hooked items I've made

I was going thru some old photos and came across these cute little doll ornaments... since I'm guest speaker for the Mason Dixon ATHA chapter this month and their newsletter said I would talk about my proddy and trapunto "lady dolls" I made up some kits for these cute "ladies" too!

I love these wool roses too.. but you really need to have a hands

on session to show how to make them...

easy but I can't explain on paper.

Gene Shepperds Book on Proddy

I'm so excited about this book I had to share it here. I love proddy, love dimentional rugs so this guy is a new blog I'm stalking... check it out at http://www.geneshepperd.com/. Any one forget to get me a birthday gift??? guess I'll be ordering it myself, it's that good!!

rug hooking felted sweater trapunto kit

I was asked by the Anne Arundel Rug Hookers, a McGown HookCrafters Guild, to do a presentation of my "Mother's Treasures" rug. This rug I have on my blog in many stages and is a Bev Conway pattern called "He who laughs.. last" that I adapted to be my daughters and myself. They liked it because I've used lots of proddy and trapunto with felted wool sweater pieces.

In preparation I made up some kits to allow them to give it a try themselves. Here are two before and after shots. I will be posting them on my etsy site... maybe my ebay store too, since I can't decide which way to go!!
