Summer and Rug Hooking

Have you ever noticed that once the warm weather hits that you rug hook less? We have such busy lives and then add the pull of the outdoors and sunshine and guess what?? Your rug hooking lies in a corner until the leaves start falling..........................

a couple of tips to keep you going through the summer!

Hook Outside!  Yes set up your frame or grab your hoop and a nice cool place to sit and enjoy your garden as you hook.  You will find inspiration from all that beauty and YES a cold glass of lemonade is always a good idea!

Hook for 5 minutes a day!  YES it makes a difference!  I have been trying to do this and over the past week it is making a dent in the never ending border I am doing and you know what?  you might just sit there for more than 5 minutes!

Hook a small project! 

  Maybe a pillow or get a head start on some Christmas ornaments, YES, it's not too early!

Whatever you do enjoy your surroundings, take a breath and smile!
