~1870 Urn Hooked Rug~


We've warmed up to 32 in Ohio today. I was going to wash my car today but, the roads are still wet. I can't WAIT to get my car cleaned up!! It did feel like a heat wave today to me!!
This morning I woke up to NO WATER, so my husband went down to the barn and got water to make coffee. We have 3 water wells where we live~thank goodness. Tom fixed the pump later in the morning, so we have water. I'm really appreciating having water and electric, simple things that we take for granted.
I finished this rug today. The pattern is from Nature's Offerings by Maggie Bonanomi. I love all her patterns and this is the first thing that I have made out of the book. Tonight I'm going to list it on Ebay. Now what to make next..

    I grew up on a small farm with well water and I am thankful to have city water!
    Do you hook 24/7? I don't know how you can get so many rugs hooked. I am envious ;-)

    I live in Ohio too and I'm thrilled we're going to have a break from the frigid temps we've been having. My truck is in need of a good bath as well!
    Love the rug.
    Blessings,
