Rechargeable Ott Lite

Just how many lights does a person need for hooking? I have two floor Ott Lights, I have a table Ott Light and I have a spiral Ott Light in a student type lamp that clamps onto my stand or nearby table. These are all good lights, however, I find that I use my clamp type lamp with the spiral as I can place the light directly over my work and move it around as needed.

So, one would think that I had enough lights.....right? Well, thanks to a tip from Lucie and Judith, I recently purchased a new Ott Lite from my local Costco. What makes this one interesting is that it is rechargeable. It can be tucked in my hooking trolley and easily used at our monthly hookins where I cannot control the ambient lighting too much other than rely on a bright sunny window when available. So, even if I do not have access to an electric outlet I am able to use my new table Ott Lite. And the best part was the new light was under $25. Oooops.....$26.99 + tax....of course.

Rug Show Continues.....

This year, at the show, there was a Calendar project, which I believe was the brainchild of Burma Cassidy. Several groups of people hooked a complete calendar; one rug for each month.

This first one is a group of rughookers from Montreal. The calendar is called:

Rugs From Hooked in the Mountains XIV Continues

It really is impossible to photograph each rug at the show. So, the rugs that you see are the ones that either caught my eye or are rugs of people that I know. Each time that I walked around looking at the rugs in the show, I saw different ones; this seems to be a universal phenomenon.

Another of the featured artists was Sharon L.Townsend. Here are some of her rugs.

Ok, that's all for now...My dye pots are bubbling away with samples of the new colors that I bought while at the show. I will post the samples when they are dry.

The Dogs

"Dogs have always been a big part of family life. Love of dogs came from my mother, Thea still thriving at 86 years, in El Paso, TX with Montana, a dog of questionable lineage." Diane Phillips
