passion for rug hooking. This cat purse is approximately 9" wide by 7" high. These measurements do not include the cat tail handle. This is a paper pattern with lots of pertinent photos to help you create your own cat purse. Hints for how to create your own unique cat purse based on a cat of your choice. Detailed instructions are included for how to assemble your cat purse. 

Note this is a rug hooking project not latch hook. You need to know how to rug hook to create this.

Rug Hooked Cat Purse Pattern

Today finds me finally working on the instructions for my Rug Hooked Cat Purse. 

I am including a lot of directions in how to make this purse your own. If you have never purchased one of my rug hooking patterns then you need to know that I include a lot of photos in my patterns. My motto is photos speak far louder then the written word. I am a visual person. Thus the photos. I am adding directions on planning your own personal cat purse. My cat is a black and grey tabby. Maybe yours is a Siamese. I am explaining how to achieve your own cat purse. Isn't that part of the fun of rug hooking taking something and making your own personal hooked piece from it. 

Not sure when the pattern will be on the market but I hope real soon. 

Look for it to be out soon.

 

Rug Hooked Teddy Bear

I have some wonderful purple and also blue wool with silk knolls in it. I have been wanting to make a teddy bear with these for a long time. I started this bear three days ago. It actually hooks up rather quickly. But I will have to wait and see what the actual finished bear will turn out like. 

Here is the one other Teddy Bear I made. 

Think I will be making another bear soon as well.

This rabbit has been on my mind for several years. As an artist there comes a time when what you have envisioned and often drawn must be created. This is the case with Bunny Rabbit Lizzy Beth. She wanted to be created and I am thrilled with the results.

Bunny Lizzy Beth is a 14 ½” tall hand hooked free standing doll.
She was hand drawn on linen and hooked with #8 cut strips of wool. The wools used are quality wools and some are hand dyed. The pattern of the wool used for her head, ears, hands and legs really gives her the appearance of having fur. Her dress is various shades of purple and the apron is various shades of pink. Every color used is muted. Notice the bow on her head matches the pink of her apron. The dress has a white collar at the neck, the bottom dress hem is also trimmed in white as well as the sleeves adding a lacy look to the dress. The neck collar also has a little rusty tin bell. Notice the ties of the apron on the back these are strips of wool. Around Lizzy Beth’s legs I created the look of a field of grass filled with raised flowers.

♥ Sneak Peek Dimensional Rabbit ♥

I like to take photos of works in progress as you see things from a different point of view this way. It is also good to hold the project up in front of a mirror to see a different perspective. 

This is my Dimensional Rug Hooked Rabbit in progress. 

As you can see the apron on the one side doesn't match so this showed me that I need to add more purple to the one side. This has been a fun project. She is over 14" tall. 

Stay tuned for more... on this primitive Dimensional Rabbit. 

This is a copy righted original design from me JoEllen of BeFRuiTFuL KReaTioNS.

The Noah's Ark on Front Cover

So excited that Noah's Ark made it to the cover of Rug Hooking Magazine. I am so excited that I am a part of this. It is a great accomplishment for Mary and Leonard. They let us share in creating some of the animals. Thank you for letting me share in this fun project.

Check it out

The Ark will be at Sauder & find a Home in Nova Scotia

The top photo is of Mary and Leonard with the ark. It puts it into perspective of just how big this ark is.
Completely rug hooked and all the animals, people and things on the ark are rug hooked.
I had the privilege of making two donkeys and a bee skep for this wonderful ark.

Rug Hooked Teddy Bear

Sewed the fabric bear yesterday and it is a good thing that I tried this before I hooked the pieces.

The pads of the bear feet do not fit well into the leg parts so will choose a different pattern for this bear. In fact I had to cut some of the leg to make it fit.

My first rug hooked Teddy Bear I did not do this initial first step. Lucky the Ending was good.

Here is a picture of my first bear.

Do you want to make your own Rug Hooked Teddy Bear?

It is easy to do this.

The hardest part of dimensional rug hooking is the assembly. I hope to help you out with different steps here and in an online tutorial.

Would you like an on line tutorial about the Teddy Bear?

Rug hooking a Teddy Bear

This week or next week I hope to start another Teddy Bear that is rug hooked. I am going to try my hand at jointing the arms and legs on this bear.

I will probably be using cleaned raw mohair to hook this bear with. I am thinking about a white bear with pastel colored ear and paw inserts. But we will see what it ends up looking like.

First I need to sew a cloth bear to make sure that this pattern will work for rug hooking. That is the first thing I recommend is to do a test run in fabric of something you are thinking about creating in the art of dimensional rug hooking. It would be very disappointing to do all your rug hooking and then find out the pieces are not going to go together.

If you have any questions about this art form feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer it.

Stay tuned for the free online dimensional rug hooking class. Hope to get to that soon.

Rug Hooked Windy Santa

Rug hooked Free Standing Windy Santa.


This wonderful One of a Kind Rug Hooked Santa Doll stands almost 15" tall and is 8" wide at the widest point. He is hooked using wool strips that are One Eighth inch wide. This #6 cut of wool has given me the wonderful array of color in this Santa. All the wool used is quality 100% wool much of it hand dyed by me. Windy Santa is hooked in rich earth tone reds and greens in his toy sack. The snow at his feet is wonderful wool from Rebbeca Erb of the wool studio. This wool makes a great base color for this Santa. Windy Santa's beard and mustache are hooked with mohair. Did you notice the handle bars of his mustache? I have weighted the bottom of this Santa so it can stand well on it's own.

Thinking about doing

I think I am going to try to put together a booklet on how to do 3-D or Dimensional Rug hooking. This would be a handie little guide that would include the in's an outs of this craft. Including tips, assembling stitches etc.

Right now it is just in the thinking stage.

Finished Hooking Yippy

I finally finished hooking my Big Hug Rug. It is not bound yet because I am not going to do that until I decide whether it will be going on a wall or the floor.

Built this snowman during our big storm last week.
