Rug Hooking thru Unemployment

Welcome! I started this site to mark the progress on I rug I started when I was laid off from my job, (Yikes!) in October. It is to be my largest rug yet, estimated to measure 8' x 10' when it's completed. While I spend a great deal of my day searching for employment, I also spend time working on this rug. It has become a great source of joy and creativity. I hope to have found a job by the time I finish the rug. I will put updates to show my progress and also post some of my other pieces.

Well I have moved to my new place in Cambridge Ma. and I am loving life! I still haven't found a job yet but it's much more fun looking for work here than it was in Haverhill! Everyday I walk around the Cambridge Resevoir, (3 miles Thank you very much!). It is so great...everyone but me seems to have a dog! I get to pet and visit with all the canines and I never have to pick up after them! I haven't gotten too much hooking done since my move, but I did paint this floor mat for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. He's a big science fiction fan and this is taken from an old movie poster. Maybe I'll hook a rug of it next!!?
