Pat Shafer is a wonderful rug hooker, who just happens to be a former china painter and artist. She breaks doing these faces down into easy to understand steps, complete with visual aids and take home extras.
I must say, that each time I do a face, it becomes easier to accomplish and less intimidating. I love this beautiful Santa and will enjoy completing the rug.
When will I be completing the rug???? Well on Downton Abbey Day of course. Tomorrow, because it is MLK Day and many people have the day off, we decided to spend the day with our favorite things…….rug hooking, rug hookers, Downton Abbey and FOOD. We will start at 9am and watch until we are thru with the whole season….we think around 6pm. Fortunately, Jeanette got this season and is bringing it out for all to watch. Carl and I bought a new, bigger, TV for the store at Christmas time, for this very reason. I can't wait to see what will happen with Mary and her suitors, and that darn sister of hers with the disappearing baby daddy. Of course, we know Thomas will be making trouble somewhere, but will they finally catch up with Bates for the unfortunate accident involving Anna's rapist. My head is spinning……I just can't wait.
If you happen to be available tomorrow and would like to come watch with us…..you are welcome. We have 13 coming and I am sure we could squeeze in a few more. Just remember, we will all be speaking with a British accent by the end of the day. Even Blue will bark in Cockney.
Can't wait…..

Oh, what a fun day you have planned. I have the day off, but I think the commute is a bit too much :)
