I Won a Giveway! Cat Naps and No Hook Zone

A few weeks ago I won a give-a-way on Jennifer Manuell's blog at Fish Eye Rugs. She had a New Year's Giveaway stating that she had a huge stash of wool and wanted to share - we had to post one of our New Year's resolutions and what colors we would like, and hers was to challenge herself to hook with what she had in her stash. I was one of the lucky winners and picked Red since I have a hard time dyeing a good red - I don't like bright fire engine red but do like a rich red or a brick red.

Yesterday I received my bundle of wool - It's truly beautiful - the pic on my monitor shows more pink but every piece is a nice rich true red. Thank you so much Jennifer - What a generous giveaway!



Now that it's cold out - I am thinking maybe we we keep our heat too low? Every time Riley goes down to the "mancave" in the basement he lays in front of this vent - so much so that my husband put an old pillow down! Hmmm is he trying to tell us we don't keep the house toasty enough? We do keep it at about 65 degrees and if we have it higher you roast on the third floor where the bedrooms are and also my rug hooking room.

Do you remember the days of being young and just getting a really good nights sleep? Oh to be young again!

Well this past weekend I did try to get some hooking done - but someone I think has turned my frame into a "No Hooking Zone" - Again to be so comfortable in any old place we lay our heads!

I actually did get some hooking done when he was downstairs playing - not as much as I wanted but some - It was a dreary rainy Sunday and Monday so good to stay in and create!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
