My latest Mat/ Wall Hanging

I am busily hooking away here but sometimes do not post a picture of a mat that I have already done but I will share this one (which I have done MANY times for people) that I did for a young woman from my hometown of Lord's Cove, Newfoundland, called "When Cod Was King". This mat has a heartfelt connection to her because her Dad was one of the Trap's Crew (as they were called) that brought in this huge load of cod fish in the more abundant years. This is a scene that will NOT be seen in my day because of the demise of the cod fishery here in my little Outport. Other members of her family has this mat ordered and I will make sure I will complete them later this year. There are just so many that I would love to do but can't seem to step away from the ones that I post because people see them and want to order...I have retired one already and this will be the second one that I intend to do just that with....There is no challenge in this one anymore.

Two Small Hooked Mats

Hello Everyone....A Very Happy New Year to you all...I hope you who celebrated Christmas had as an enjoyable one as my Family did...With our children and grandchildren around for a number of days, I have to say, it was one of the better ones....

I have not posted for some time but I am pleased that my followers are still faithful to me...

I want to share two small hooked wall hangings that I did for two of my friends as a Christmas gift.

The first one is for a good friend and relative of mine, Christina, who is a wonderful Quilter and has a facebook page titled "Love To Quilt"...you should visit sometime to see her work. As you know, I hooked a large, well two actually, "Women Hanging Quilts" on a clothesline and I thought this would be suitable for her being that she is a quilter.




Needless to say, she was very impressed with it and became quite emotional when I presented it to her..:)

The other that I hooked was for my Grandchildrens' other grandparents... I am showing you the photograph that I took it from and indeed, there are differences.

"And the Winner IS"....

Hi Everyone,

thanks to those of you who entered my little "Mummers Give Away" on my Business Facebook Page...

The winner of the wall hanging is:
Margaret Ayad of Bay Roberts, NL.

Please keep looking at my page for more excitement later in the New Year...May be a series of those small wall hangings and maybe new mats to display...

A Variety

Hello Fellow Bloggers...Since I wrote my last post, my Brother, Prosper, passed away from kidney failure. It has been a rough road but in between, there was a happy time with our son, Dale, being sworn into office as MHA (Member of the House of Assembly) for the NDP party. While Prosper was ill, which was eight weeks, Dale was campaigning in our Provincial Election in St. John's, NL., where he resides and was successful in his endeavours. Needless to say, we are very proud of his efforts and hard work and I am sure he will continue to work hard for the people who had faith in him and trusted him enough to elect him as their member.

Enough said on those two important items.

I am posting a picture of my "Give Away" on my Facebook Page named: "Anne's Original Hooked Rugs". There is just one week left for those of you who would like to visit my page and click the "LIKE" Button on the top right of the page; your name will be automatically entered to be drawn for this 14"x14" Mummers wall hanging. A few of you have already done so...There is absolutely no commitment and I WILL post it to you wherever you live...I just started this new page as a Business one a short time ago and for my visitors I thought it a good gesture, on the advice of others, to do that. Do take the time to click...more people make it more interesting....

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American Friends...hope you are enjoying this wonderful day...We have plenty to be thankful for

Have You Forgotten Me?

Hi Everyone:

"Life" has gotten in my way over the past couple of months. My brother is ill and I have been away from Home for some time, off and on...Besides that, this time of year is really busy for us with Harvesting, Canning, etc., etc., etc.

I said some time ago that I was hooking a mat for a project and I would show it when the Exhibit was over. The Exhibit was at "The Five Island Art Gallery" in Tors Cove, Newfoundland. It was to show our Irish / Newfoundland connection and was held in September until October 21st. Some artists and guests from Ireland attended this great event but because of my brother's illness, I could not attend; however, I was pleased to have been given the opportunity to have my mat displayed among the others there. Although this picture does not do justice to it, I am posting it anyways. Some day I may learn to use the camera...I need lessons...any pointers? :) :)
