Wool Poppies

On Saturday I went to the monthly meeting of Wool Poppies Rug hookers, I paid my yearly dues so I'm now a official member. These Ladies are so talented. Karla finished hooking Jack's Ride:

I wish the picture did it justice, it is an amazing piece of work.

Katie is working on abstract flowers, it's going to be a bright and happy rug.

Gail is still working on her airplane rug, I didn't take a new picture of this rug but she has almost half of it finished now.

 

I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures. Cai is working on a rug of a a flying purple pig that is so cute but I didn't get a picture of it either. I'm still working on the background of The Ladies, I'll try to remember to take a picture and post it soon.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to E's house to learn how to dye wool. E is an amazing artist and uses natural dyes so I'm excited to have her teach me. E uses a very fine cut of wool to hook her rugs, it's a 3 cut, about the thickness of a fine yarn. I love the sky in her rug:

 

 

Today I went to my second water aerobics class and had fun. I learned that a Physical Therapist came up the with the exercises, that explains a lot.

 

My roses are blooming. I look out my kitchen window and smile.

 

 

My repeat blooming hydrangea has it's first bloom of the season with others not far behind. I was worried because we had a late snow that damaged it and then an early heat wave that did more damage, it's a pretty hardy plant to have survived.

 

 

I'll try to remember to take pictures at Earlene's tomorrow.

 

Til next time, Ronda
