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.

My Dimensional Rug Hooking Blog

 

In my art I find myself traveling many different avenues of mediums. One of my favorites is rug hooking. This love prompted me to start a blog called dimensional rug hooking. Some of those who follow my art are interested in Rug Hooking and Needle Punch only. Since I also am a doll maker I felt that it was a good idea to try to separate the two. Although I still do post my rug hooking creations here in my BeFRuiTFuL KReaTioNS Blog

 

My Dimensional Rug Hooking Blog

 

Over the last week I have been working on a Rug Hooked Cat Purse.  I am hoping to make this into my next pattern. This will be a little challenging to write a pattern for so wish me luck with this. 

Our Cat has been the model for this purse. Here he is.

 

 

I will be posting photos of the cat purse shortly.

Lizzy Beth Bunny

 

SOLD

For sale on Prims Nest

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.

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.

New Rug Hooked Fairy Tale Purse

This wonderful purse has found a new home in Delaware.

* Rug Hooked Little Red Riding Hood Purse *

The Big Bad Wolf is peeking around the tree stalking poor Little Red Riding Hood. She has been to grandma's house and is on her way down
the path that leads to the forest. She has her basket in hand with her red and white cloth covering laid over it.

What a unique one of a kind Hand Hooked Purse. This would look loving in any decor. You could also use this for a light duty purse.
The front of this purse is hand hooked with hand dyed wool strips in gorgeous colors. One Eighth inch wool strips have given
great detail to this Little Red Riding Hood purse.
This was inspired from a Bobbie Takashima Painting.

Finally Finishing Hooking

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.

Kank's 2008 Big Hooked Rug Challenge

The day is hear you can go and see all of the wonderful Hooked Rugs of the ladies who tool on the this BHR challenge.

Here is the link to go to see all of the BHR

Click here!

I have given myself one more month to complete my rug. These rugs are huge.
4 1/2 feet by 3 feet.
Whewww Big Huge Rugs.

I will be doing a little more reverse hooking here. The letters in the sky I will make darker. So they show up better. It is good to look at a picture of the rug so I can see things that need changing. Like the cross I had to make much darker and the heart that hangs from the black birds mouth. I am having a blast designing and hooking this rug. Even dyeing the fabric. Hooking with roving, yarn and wool strips. How fun this is!!!!

Creating Dolls

Started a couple of different doll sets.

One Gingerbread doll set. Will be a mamma and baby gingerbread set. Many of you know I love the Gingerbread theme.

The other if it turns out will be a Reindeer Mamma and Baby doll set. I have never made a Reindeer set before. I have made a reindeer for a doll set but not a Mamma and Baby reindeer set.

Please stay posted I hope to have these ready before we go on our cruise.

We are going cruising just after Thanks Giving. Doing a Mexican Riviera Cruise. We are meeting up with our children for this cruise. I can't wait to see them. I miss them a lot.

Been thinking seriously about doing a Rug hooked Pillow Santa. Have a wonderful photo of a woodland Santa whose cloak is blowing in the wind. Called Wind blown Santa. I dyed wool yesterday for his Cloak. Will have to do a smaller cut to work this Santa. But I think I will do this.

Wish me luck on all of these creations.
