Here's the problem...
I am the world's best procrastinator!!!
I have known about this show since last October...yep...LAST October...and i do NOT have very many projects finished! It is now the end of July...which only leaves me 3 months to get a good stash ready. I swear i can only do my best work under pressure....or at least that's what i like to tell myself!! Hee hee!
So.....i went thrifting again yesterday...and let me tell you...someone is out there "stealing" all my wool! How am i gonna hook if i don't have any wool?? Hee hee!
I did find a nice little stash...1 blazer and 5 pants.
I found a little step stool a few weeks ago and i just knew it would be adorable if i painted it and upholstered the top with a hooking. Now i have never done this before so there are no guarantees on how it will turn out, but you have to learn by trying ..right??
Here is the design i decided on...
He is my biggest critic..and you know kids..they love to be honest!!
I find it hard to decide on what colors as i go along...and seem to pull out as many "noodles" as i hook! Oh well...i'm just a beginner.
Oh...and i forgot to post a picture of the wool i dyed with the orange kool-aid....it didn't turn out so well...so i took the wool out of the bath and added red and yellow food coloring til it looked good to me...then put the wool back in.
I am very happy...and it will make a beautiful fall hooking i'm sure.
It's time to go hook some more...my fingers are twitching!!
Until next time,
Tonia
