~Nemesis~
1. A source of harm or ruin
2. An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome
But alas...I have overcome and conquered
My Weekend Nemesis
Why do I label my newest creation as a nemesis...well you see, when I am really into a project...
I can't walk away, it's an addiction of sorts. The house could fall down around me and I would probably ignore it ;)
Just for the record, hubby finally did the sink full of dishes yesterday, LOL
So here it is...My inspiration came from antique Crocks and Stoneware
you know the ones with the pretty BLUE designs on them..birds, floral motifs, squiggles, yeah those ones.
Just freely drew the design onto burlap (I don't do much rug hooking and it's all I had on hand)
I did walk away long enough to replenish my body with food and drink,
oh and I even took Maygan sandal shopping yesterday BUT
when we returned home..it was right back to hooking
Here it is..
It's the biggest hooking project I have done so far...I think it is my 4th, it measures about 12" x 12". The edges are not exactly straight but that's okay, maybe someday I will get better at this art.. Practice & Patience.

Hi Traci, WOW you did an awesome job! I love your design too, so beautiful! I keep saying I want to try my hand at hooking, hopefully one of these I will get to follow through with it. I sure wish they would have some kind of classes around here to learn, would make it a whole lot easier to learn.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week.

I know what you mean. We have a few of those nemesis's around the house. The only harm they do is to our mental health... lol. You conquered this one amazingly. I love the muted colors.

I adore your project. It's so original, and I love the simplicity of the 2 colors. You've inspired me to get out my hooking supplies!
