A website of woolly creations created and remade

alias BButchie or Franie Fran
I've found my passion... "hooking"
I hope you come back soon... because I am a "hooking" fool!!!
welcome to 'In the wool bag"... thank you for visiting
I'm not new to crafts, and have been involved with rughooking for over 5 years but I finally have taken the plunge. This site is dedicated to my mom, Janice Russell, who, besides putting up with me, has encouraged, complimented, nurtured, and created the crafter, who is me. Thanks mom, you know how much I love you, and you too Dad! love always, Butchie

ETSY store
I've got an ETSY store... just go to www.franiefran.etsy.com and check out my "stuff". You can also order special items from this blogspot at the etsy store. If you don't see something... just email me! Franie Fran
Now on EBAY
I took the plunge and posted my rug hooking frame covers and a felted sweater backpack on ebay. WOW, it is so easy, much more than ETSY, and I've sold 3 covers and have lookers at the backpack. Now that I'm house bound by asthma this is a good fun project for me. Take a look... just search on ebay for rug hooking frame cover and you can't miss me... BBUTCHIE is my vendor name!
this is my idea of an oriental... with a 3 and 4 cut, I changed the pagodas on the left side and added the symbol for pagoda or house of worship in the middle. My first big piece (instructed by Janice Russell)
Stevie's photography ad
I'm so proud of this girl, twice she has picked up and moved and started over. She knows no fear of the unknown
