Fiber Art Fun in a Box! Rug Hooking Happiness

 
Happy Thursday everyone!
 
I cannot wait to show you what I just got on Etsy!
 
It is a vintage rug hooking kit from the 1970's!
 
Melanie and I used to sit for hours and hours making these kits as kids!
 
We hung them on our walls in our room instead of posters!
 
I thought it would be FUN for Melanie and I to do again!
 
So I looked on Etsy for vintage kits that had never been opened and found two of these mushroom kits from different sellers!
 
As soon as I saw them, I bought them both and ran out to Michael's to get us 2 latch hooks!

 
They are like brand new!
 
Never opened!

 
Complete with all of the cut yarn and instructions!



 
Yippeeee!
 
I am having so much FUN watching the design pop to life!
 
Here is what my first row looks like!
 
I will keep you posted on our progress!
 
I am going to hang mine in R-Chee's Pug Cave!
 
We are so excited!
 
What projects are you working on?
 
Please leave us a note and let us know!

  2. I loved those too! My daughter bought one at Goodwill years ago and had a lot of fun. She loves mushrooms and would love those rug kits! You two have so much fun!

  4. Wow, that brings back memories! I made them all the time back in the day. I had a tiger rug that I took to college! Have fun, and I can't wait to see the finished product.
