I am in awe of people who do things really well. I myself am a dabbler. I love to learn new things but I am not a perfectionist by any means. Which means that most of the things I make look like they've been made by someone who isn't a perfectionist.
Today I visited my friend Deb. Deb is an extremely right-brained person with talent oozing out her fingertips. She has been doing intricate cross-stitch samplers (reproductions from the 1700 and 1800's) and also hooking rugs for a good many years. She's also a very talented horsewoman. And Deb is a perfectionist. No, she's a Perfectionist. I thought I'd share a few pictures I took today to give you an idea of how talented she is.

Photos don't capture the detail but this is so beautiful.

Perhaps this photo lets you see some of the artistry that goes into creating a hooked rug masterpiece.

And here's Deb with the rug she is giving (yes GIVING) me! She left some of it for me to finish and I quake at the thought of dabbling with her work.

After we spent an hour getting inspired by Deb's work, we went to Kathy's where Becca enjoyed riding Sonny.

A day of inspiration and recreation.
