Keep Smiling, March 30, 2020

I had a relative that use to say to me, keep smiling, it will make everyone wonder what you are up to. But I also believe it makes others smile back. Smiling releases 'something technical' in our bodies that makes us feel 'happy'. This is my theory anyway. We all need to stay calm and relax as much as you can during our continued self isolation's and distancing. I pulled out my rocker and placed it on the deck along with a little table and some flowers. I know I'm pushing...


Small Business & COVID-19, April 05, 2020

Della's Rug Hooking Studio is in our 6th year of business. In today's world, especially since Covid-19, having a social presence is very important. I started with Etsy and Facebook selling my hand dyed wool fabrics. I began a web site in 2016 and it hasn't been easy as I am not a web page programmer nor do I want to be. I have had many hopeful folks help me out over the years without having to sink a lot of money into this part of my business but last fall...


Keep On, Keeping On, March 15, 2020

Someone said think of our ancestors who had to go to war,...

I typically write this blog on Sunday evenings and last night I just couldn't do it, I was tired and went to bed instead.

The picture above is of my CRV with my new magnetic picture of my business logo. You will see me coming now!

Where do you get your inspiration to hook your rugs? I love going to hooking gatherings whether...


The Spirit & Sunshine, February 24, 2020

Have you ever noticed that when the sun shines, we feel lifted up, happy, smiles on our faces? The ray of sunshine coming through the windows beckon us to touch and feel the warmth where it shines on the floor or nearest sofa. Come outside, the sun is saying, and I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed the outdoors today. I walked as far as my mother's next door but that was all of the outdoors I got today unfortunately but I did enjoy looking at it!
