Rug Hooking - a happy entry!
I know my posts have been pretty grouchy lately. I swear it is hormones! Hopefully a big dose of turkey tomorrow will help ;)
Some of you know, but most of you don't know, that I've been looking for a suitable rug hooking for Sprout's room. My father does a rug for each grandbaby -- sort of a tradition.
I started looking for one for Sprout as soon as we decided on the theme for the nursery. I checked marymaxim.com, shillcraft.com, mom & dad got me catalogues and I was checking e-bay every couple of days. Nothing suited!
A few days ago, I came across a vendor in the e-bay stores section that deals with rug-hooking and there was mention that she had more designs that were not displayed. I e-mailed her asking if she had anything that would suit (giraffe, cow, sheep, etc) and she mentioned that she had one she had designed that she would dig up and send a picture. Picking up on the 'design' theme, I e-mailed her back and asked if she did custom rugs and if she would work with a piece of the nursery fabric and come up with a custom design. She agreed! Over the next few days, we emailed back and forth about the design and today we firmed-up on the design you see below.
I am so super excited! I can't wait to get the kit and I am so thrilled at what a match it will be for the design for the nursery. On top of this, she was such a nice person to work with. She was always pleasant and accomodating -- I was picky with a few details and she had no problems tweeking them to suit what I wanted. If you are interested in seeing her other designs or would like to talk to her about making a custom rug kit for you, please check out her website (http://www.rugmaster2.com/).
