My Creativity Resolution

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple

Bea Brock and the Stash Sisters

Sounds like a folk or rock band, doesn't it?!  On Saturday, we got together and learned new hooking stitches with Bea Brock.  She is a great teacher, taking us one stitch at a time through her flower sampler.  Here we all are with Bea holding up the sample of the finished project. 

For more information about Bea Brock as a designer and teacher, visit her website HERE, Hill Country Rug Works in Texas.

Stash Sisters' Raffle Rug

I wanted to get up a picture of the raffle rug that we hooked for the Stash Sisters hook in last weekend. T.J. Martin (picture 1: she is right, middle row, end) designed the rug and then we each hooked a section of it. If you are interested in the design, T.J. is going to make it available for $12 plus shipping. You should contact her directly at dinkiebug@aol.com.

The lucky winner was Barbara Bosse! She is the third from the left in picture 2.

Getting ready for Stash Sisters Hook In

I've been spending my free time dyeing my Palette wools and painting wool boxes for the Stash Sisters Hook In (coming up on Friday). I hope to dye some wool for myself too since I've run out of my reds and yellows which I need to finish "Baptism by Fire". Also would like to finish the cabbage rose Cottingham Blossom Purse. Ha, I need more time!

If you are in the area, please stop by the hook in. Here are the details.

HANKAMER HOOK-IN, April 9-10, Whites Park, 225 Whites Memorial Park Dr., Hankamer, TX. Vendors: Katie Hartner, Tricia Travis, Bea Brock, Susan Quicksall, Deborah Nestledge, Julie Burns. $20 for one day, or $40 for both days. Fee includes catered lunch each day. Mail checks, payable to Stash Sisters, to P.D. Hankamer, P.O. Box 166, Hankamer, TX 77560. Be sure to designate if you're attending Friday or Saturday, or both, so your lunch can be ordered.
