About Me

- Hi! I am a 58 year old gal who fell in love with rug hooking when I lived in Maine about 10 years ago. At the time, I was making teeny,tiny hooked rugs for my dollhouses and while doing the research for them, I fell in love with the full size ones and started collecting them at area auctions and such. At the time, I lived in a FABULOUS Maine farmhouse which was built in 1795. The wood floors just begged for hooked rugs and I began taking classes and doing hooking on my own as well. I have two grown sons who are the joy of my life. Matt lives in Boston and Joshua lives in Florida. Matt is getting married in April to a great gal named Lauren and I am hoping for grandkids very soon,lol! I am engaged to a great guy named Peter and we have a good life..so anyway, enough of that, I am off to do some needle felting and spent the evening listening to Bob Dylan's "Modern Times", one of my all time favourite CD's...take good care everyone and thanks for reading this... Warm hugs, Debbe

Are the top pictures of napkin rings? They are great, my favourite colours, I should be making napkin rings for the guest house. I use beaded ones of dragonflies and butterflies, and people often ask if I made them. I have to confess I did not!
I tried making some napkin rings today, inspired by yours, but they were not very good and one fell to bits from over using the embellisher on it! Back to the drawing board on that.
Hi Vanessa! You have inspired me to get back to the blog!! No, the things at the top are actually cuff type bracelets, but you have given me a great idea!! Napkin rings! Wow, can you just see all various ones you could make? When I had my B&B, I also ran a small antiques shop, and many things which were in the B&B were for sale( with discreet little prices on the bottom)..I sold so much stuff this way! People could see how this table cloth, or that china vase,looked in their room and wanted to take it home, so you could sell your napkin rings! Do you ever use a water soluble stabilizer under your roving when you are using the embellisher? I find that helps a great deal...thanks for following my blog..Warm hugs from chilly Canada!

Silly me, thinking the cuffs were napkin rings, I realised soon after leaving that comment that I had got it all wrong, but I still hope to have a go at making napkin rings properly and it has started the idea off! I sell art here, a little of mine, mostly the work of the lady who leads our art group. I find I nearly always sell a piece just after I change them all round! Even though the person who buys it has not seen how it was before! Spooky.
