Lil Jack


Hello my friends!
Hope all are staying safe and well.
We sure are on a HOT streak 
here in Michigan.
Temps have been above 90 n0w 
for day 5 and the end is still not near.

 Every weekend at the gift shop
I have been hooking in between customers.


It was fun hooking these fellas.


A Happy Lil Jack.


Which I made into a pocket.


Back of the wool pocket which is also the background.
A fun mixture of purples, greens and off white.


Now I know my hooking is not perfect.
I cut my wooly worms by hand.


Finished this off with the same orange wool
used for the pumpkin as
for the handles which is just secured
by a rusty pin on each side.

 If I had one of these, 
I would add some drieds inside.
I currently do not have any...
so could not add inside.
It is pretty just hanging too!

 Stay cool my friends!

 Lil Jack Blessings To All!
Janice

    We are going to start getting your weather tomorrow. I do not like that heat!
    Your pumpkin is sweet and your hooking is perfect.

    Janice, It's been in the 90's too long here in central Indiana. I loved that little hanging pocket, such a cute idea. Blessings, stay cool and safe. xoxo, Susie

    In the 90s here too and will be thru the rest of the week. Thankfully we had a thunderstorm last night which brought much needed rain.
    Nothing wrong with your loops, that is the way this great art form started....hand cut or ripped strips.

      I'm in Topsfield, MA and it's been so hot and humid here. I can take the heat, it's the humidity! Yuck! I love your little wool pocket. I need to do something small - get back into hooking. But I think that's going to wait until the weather is better. Jan in MA

    Your little pumpkin pocket is cute.
    We had hot and humid weather here to. We luckily got a nice shower yesterday. It's been very cool in the morning for this time of year but I'm not complaining.
    Hugs, Julia

      Thanks Bobbie! I am too cheap to buy a cutter, so cutting by hand is what it is for now. Janice

    So cute Janice! I love Fall and seeing this cutie reminds me that the hot, hot days won't be forever. I shouldn't complain about the heat since Winter will bring on the white stuff and I'll again dream about warmth! My kiddos are in Michigan this week and I wish I could have gone with them! Have a great week and keep creating!

    Take care and keep well!
