Another favorite ornament painted by a friend and given as a gift several years ago. It's my house, and I'd say it's perfect!

Finished!

My goal was to finish this piece before the 25th and I did it! This is the first time I have hooked an entire piece using #4 cut.( I snuck in a few #6's into the background.) The silhouette is done using a dark spot dye, and I applied a little glitter glue on top of the wool for the star and the halo. Love the result, but won't be hooking with #4 cuts anytime soon. My hat is off to you all that hook in that size all the time.

Miami Valley Rug Hooking Guild

The last meeting of the year, and even with temps in the single digits  and Christmas next week, we had a great turn out. All sorts of projects underway in various stages of being done or just getting started. A very talented group of hookers!

Another Santa in my collection, better known as scary Santa by my kids and grandkids.

One more fun get together with friends to celebrate the season! More good food, laughs and ornament exchange. Love seeing what everyone comes up with.

This little jewel I received from a friend a couple years ago, it's a winter replica of my cottage. She even cut a small hole it the bottom so a battery light could be placed inside. A treasure.

Looks just like the real thing!  Love it!

Had a great time yesterday, took a class and then taught a class. Love learning something new!

Needle Night Christmas

What better way to celebrate the season than to spend the evening with friends. Sharing good food, lots of laughs and of course our annual ornament exchange. Always a good time!

I hooked this Santa several years ago, it is actually an Uncle Sam pattern from Maria at Star Rug Co. that I turned into a Santa.

Christmas Cheer & Inspiration

A nativity set made by my husband 30 years ago when I couldn't find a "primitive" set to my liking. A couple of feather trees and some paint and embellishments by me.

A little get together with friends to hook, share some laughs and some good food, in a house decked out for the holidays! Thanks Sandy!
