I belong to a hooking group that meets twice monthly.

 It's very informal and small and just a super bunch of ladies. 

Usually we hook our own projects but occasionally some choose to participate in a challenge.
Doris Norman, of Celtic pattern teaching fame, walked us through making a covered brick door stop. We all drew up our own designs using a template. 

When hooked, we padded the bricks in quilt batting and secured the batting with a stocking--remember those? 

Sewing the hooking around the brick took very strong threads.
Underneath is a plain heavy duty piece of wool.

Here is how mine turned out. I like the fraktur style:

  

On a sad note, we had to put Lily cat to sleep today.
The vet found a large tumor a month ago and her
breathing had become very laboured.
Lucy dog is looking around a little.
Look what my wonderful neighbour E brought me
to cheer me.

Now I must figure out how to cheer Lucy.
Lots of cuddles for sure.
If you have a fur friend give them an extra kiss from me today.
