Eden Lost

Since January of this year I have taken the challenge to create and sell my own rug hooking patterns. This has kept me quite busy. I have finished up 7 new designs and will be displaying them here on my blog a little at a time. This one is called Eden Lost.

I outlined all of the shapes using a #4 strip. It helped the shapes to pop out.
Here is a little find that I picked  up in Bend, Oregon. Not sure what it was for but the seat opens up and you can store stuff in it. Kind of like a piano bench. I designed and hooked the cover then  waxed over the wood. I think it can out real cute. I have it under an old pioneer desk that I picked up at the thrift store I think they were made for each other.

I have my creative man making reproductions of this and other finds I will be showing later. On May 19th is the Denver Hook-In I will be bring this and other fun projects to sell. Can't wait I love the Denver Hook-In but then again my heart will always be in Colorado.
