The Art of Living
If hooked rugs could talk, oh the stories they'd tell us about
their creator... Maybe she was the quiet type who helped others, and had a keen eye for color and design. Perhaps she was worn and tired from her daily chores who salvaged scraps of fabric to create folk art beauty. He could have been a designer with ideas dancing in his head that needed to be put to paper. Maybe he was in pain from his arthritis, and found rug hooking as a creative way of reliving his younger days when his body was still pliable. Whomever the rug hooker was, the rugs tell us their creator was happy, joyful, and saw life's beauty as a gift to behold and not take for granted. It starts with picking up a hook, a piece of linen or burlap, and making merry as the rug comes to life; its design and colors to warm a room and bring joy to someone's heart.
