On the 17th, a friend hosted a holiday get-together. We are all into various and sundry art media, and have know each other for a long time.
I learned on the 17th that Mary Bajcz has branched out into hooked rugs. I have always loved her work -- and am totally in love with this rug. Love the colors, the swirls, the texture..... You can't see very well, in these pics, how varied the loops are. Mary has hooked with all sorts of yarns, and with fabric scraps of all kinds (wool, cotton, silk)....
Wow, eh?
What an excellent start to your day, if you stepped out of bed onto this rug!!!
After the meeting, several of us went, individually, to Hobby Lobby. I don't know of another Hobby Lobby that is nearer to me than this one (about half an hour away), so I wanted to scope out the joint....
They have A LOT of fake flowers. Fake flowers are so much nicer than they used to be. They made me want to make a giant bouquet (lots of flowers on 2- and 3-foot stems)..........
Then I noticed these! I don't think I've ever seen life-size fake sunflower plants before!
Wow! Cool............
They have lots of vases at Hobby Lobby..............
And decorator fabric. Love this. It was thin, relatively stiff, polyester? Drawn up into regularly-spaced tiny nubs. Love the texture. I'm kinda sorry I didn't get some of this..... Wouldn't this make the coolest pillows-to-put-on-the-couch?
