It was a busy day but a great one! I watered early as there are heat advisories. I mailed my daughter a birthday card as her birthday is Friday and there is a gift arriving at her house exactly on Friday too!
I cleaned the bathroom counters and mirrors. I cleaned the toilets the other day. I can't seem to do it all in one day. Tomorrow I'll do the floors. I shook and washed the rugs from the bathrooms and worked on organizing my wools. I have some that still need to be cut apart as they are garments that I got at Goodwill years ago up North. They've been stored in those vacuum seal bags.
I got my new hook and the 2 rug kits today! I was so excited! These are small ornaments or coasters. I wanted something small to practice on before I try a bigger project..........I think they are so cute!
I also found my rug hooking stand...........the brown material is a cover for the "metal bristles" as they are sharp but that's what holds your rug on tight so you can hook it......
I also received my new rug hook today........they look like a crochet hook but are on the end of a wooden handle. It would be very hard to use a crochet hook I think, although I haven't tried.........I can't wait to get started but I need to read my books to refresh my memory it's been so many years. I used to belong to the Rug Hooking Guild in Independence, Iowa and I took classes and we went to different events on rug hooking. I was really getting into it until I moved down here and then I had my Grave's Disease eye problems. Plus, there are no guilds close to me.
It was garbage day too and it looks like we're going to get another storm in a little bit! I love a good storm!
Happy Trails!!!

Your rug hook does look like a crochet hook. But, the handle looks a bit more comfy for hooking a rug than a regular crochet hook would be. Cute kits you got to remember how to hook.
I've yet to figure out my new cleaning routine. I feel like I am all over the place. Those metal bristles look vicious. Can't wait until you get started with these projects, since I have taken up this craft...yet LOL.
That rug hooking frame looks scary! Be care and don't poke yourself. Yikes! The ornament kits are really cute though, especially the snowmen.
I haven't come up with a cleaning routine either since we moved. It's hard having another person who likes to go, go, go. Before he retired, I had certain things I did each day, Monday-Friday. The whole house would get covered, except for the deep cleaning that was done less often. I haven't gotten that same coverage figured out since we moved to Omaha and we've had three homes in that time. It's clean, but kind of in a hodge podge way. No particular day for each thing so I can feel I accomplished my daily goals and then I'm free to craft.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
