Women's march and #me too.

Rug hookers..if you are interested in hooking a rug related to the women's march and/or the #metoo movement...can you email me..thanks! 
I thought it would be cool to have an online show of rugs on the anniversary of the march..Jan 21...not a lot of time..but I think hookers are up to the challenge.
Please send me an image of your rug by Jan 19th/2018 and will post on my fb page and website.

Some smaller rugs.

I worked on some smaller rugs before I settle down and get ready for the next show.
I was feeling a wee bit lost after Saving Maud.
But, I am back on track now.

Judy's Pussy Hat

Judy's pussy hat turned out to be a bit crown like...and I thought of re-hooking it but then I thought...nah..that's how Judy wants it to look.
Congrats to all you brave women and men who marched yesterday...Judy is with you.

The world is not making sense to me today....so, I am going to hook a fish...ahhhh...that's better.
