2017 is coming to a close and this year I met my goals of creating new rug hooking patterns for my Etsy shop as well as making a free rug hooking pattern for my blog readers. But there is so much left to do! I am also working on doing a lot of wool dyeing for Etsy listings and talking all about that. I keep getting prodded to finish a dye book that I started, but that is on the back burner. Perhaps if the weather nice-ens up, I could go out to the porch for my dye experiments. Nothing like all that fresh air to disperse nasty chemicals. And I am sensitive to all of that.
Thank you faithful readers for all your comments and words of encouragement to my posts. You are why I am here!
Thanks for being a part of my blog family ~ Karen

Hi Karen, I really enjoy your blog. I am unable to call up a recent post on a bouquet of flowers. It doesn’t even show up in the menu bar for me. I was missing all the lovely pics that were supposed to be posted. Just wondered if you had any idea why that might be happening.

Can’t wait!! Very nice of you to give us these treats now and then. Feels like Christmas and can’t wait for the reveal of “Seaweed”. Love your color palette of wool for this as well.
