The art of life is a lot like making a rug. I just finished the Sunday letter. https://conta.cc/37eyjxd

I am recording some new content got The Harbour Online Course. It is available only until December 31. It is so inspiring to see new people joining. Once you buy the course it is yours to keep so as I add new content you get that for free. Teaching art , creativity and rug hooking inspired me to hook more rugs. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart

Close up and comfortable. I had too many colours in this one. Spent last night toning it down, changing it and am really happy with the golds. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart

I hope you had fun! #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart #punchneedle #embroideryart

Somethings work out well even when you started out unsure of where you were going. You just have to follow your instinct. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart #crysanthemum

All done and hanging in my studio where I get to look at it everyday and love it decide how it could be better. Because thats art . It can always be more. It can always be better. Every time you make something it is just a jumping off pint for the next thing you make. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart #crysanthemum #woolart #fibrearts

Joe brought me these in to dye but I think I just want to live with them. I have a new found love for marigolds this summer. I will just let them dry here . Maybe they will go in the dye pots later. Thanks for all the beauty Joe. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart #marigolds

Greg dyes Wool cloth in the studio for rug hooking

Watching how other artists work helps you see. It enables you. It gives you more potential. Thanks to @bookhou for showing her processes as she works. As I get ready for our October landscapes course I am looking at nature so much closer. I have been looking at seed pods for years but bringing them into my studio this morning has been really helpful and is inspiring a new rug.

Oh building the garden has been so interesting. I cannot do much with gardening in my yard but here on my frame I can do something. #rughooking #hookingrugs #createbeautyeveryday #instaartist #tafalist #workinprogress #creativity #makers #wonderful #wool #yarn #makersgonnamake #rughookers #hookedrugs #punchneedle #novascotia #textileart

Hello Sunday, Gee you come around so fast, it seems like time flies between each time I sit here to write but in truth so much happens in a week. When I look back on it I think of all the great people who visited the studio. I think of all the laughs I had with the crowd I work with.

Its happy hour here at the studio. We are closed for the day but I thought I would stay and hook. I love how the light is streaming in here in the early evening.
