Episode 120, Thursday Live: Finishing the Stocking

I absolutely love visiting with you all each Thursday. Always so enjoyable & happy. I also thoroughly enjoy your Sunday letters. I love getting up early, making my coffee & reading your letter ~ a lovely letter from a friend.
Re gifts . . . I rug hooked trees for my 2 sons & their families last Christmas as well as your 3 houses kits. It was so suitable as we all live in different places so 3 houses seemed very suitable keeping us together in heart. My family always get something handknit by me each Christmas. I’ve made several quilts for them & my grandson. It’s always nice to hand make for those I love as it keeps me close in heart.
Please continue your letters & lives ~ always so enjoyable & definitely appreciated!

“We are people of the hand.” I love that!!! It might show up in one of my hooking projects. Happy Holidays to everyone.

I would love to share with you that I ‘used’ to paint homemade ornaments each year, for my own 3 children, neices/nephews (7), and a couple very special little people to me. However, I have given this up about 8 years ago….perhaps all of the little children grew up?? Not sure really, my true reason. But being introduced to rug hooking last month, I think my ole’ tradition of making ornaments, may come back in a new form. Thankyou for your LIVE broadcast…this was the first one I was able to view LIVE!! Your energy clearly comes through, and I know a visit to your studio is a must, soon. Thankyou sharing so much!!

I give my daughter the best yarn I can afford for her to craft

I made a quilt for my mom and brother out of Dad’s summer plaid shirts after he passed away.
