What’s on the frame this week?

This is what I'm currently calling the "midnight tree" rug. It's about 28 inches in diameter. I'm hooking with bed sheets again.
This is what I’m currently calling the “midnight tree” rug. It’s about 28 inches in diameter. I’m hooking with bed sheets and t-shirts this time. (And, yes, I’m missing a nail on my left big toe.)

The title should probably read “What’s on the frame this very minute?” It would be more accurate. I started a pretty large rug last Tuesday. Then came yesterday, one of my mornings at Albuquerque’s Rail Yards Market. A woman and her husband spent some time in my booth admiring a few of the rugs; then they were off. No big deal. It happens like that almost all the time. Except…they came back. And bought two mug rug sets and a wall hanging. Woohoo! The only downside is that I’m now down to two mug rug sets, and I still have another weekend to go. (Then I’ll take a break from vending till December’s special holiday market.)

 

Consequently, while I’m enjoying working on the new “midnight tree” rug, as soon as I draw up a couple of mug rugs (like ASAP – this afternoon!), I’ll have to kick it’s butt off the frame. Of course, if that’s my biggest hooking problem, I must be doing something right.

 

Set and have a cup of tea? "Autumn's Sunflower" there on the left sold at the Rail Yards Market Sunday. "Petro Sun" is still available.

      Thanks, Syl. The toe, yeah, had the fungus years ago. Got rid of it, but the nail kept getting thicker and thicker. I was finally so tired of it (and my shoe pressing on it) that I had the doc remove it. Very sexy, yes?

    How exciting! The mugs and rugs look so good. I may have to steal that idea sometime. That’s a very appelealing way to market!
    I have a matching left toe with no nail. Long story about mine, but the doc sort of botched the removal and I have a sort of scraggly area with bots of nail…

      I’m just excited to hear about you missing a toenail too! We had a wedding to go to once and I had a fake toe nail put on. Long story short, I had to clean a lot of dog blood out of my neighbor’s carpet after her dog was injured. The fake toenail snagged in the rug, so I left it there for Angela to find. Which she did… Bwahahahaha. Yes, the mug rug set works much better than just mug rugs. People need to see (or at least be told) what to use rugs for, I find.
