Continuation of the Bucks County Theme

I have hooked two more items since my last post.  My Aunt Gloria asked me to hook something as a Christmas present for my cousin, Lisa, maintaining the Bucks County theme.  We had all spent so much time there growing up and so many fond memories.  Now that neither my aunt's property nor my grandmother's property remain in the family I think she wanted Lisa to have something special to remember it by.
I had to think about what to do for a while and then I thought rather than do Mimi's cabin again I would do my grandmother's house which exists no longer having been demolished after a big flood.  Lisa spent a lot of time like I did with our grandmother Honey so I did a hooking of the house with our grandmother and her beloved dog Bonnie standing in front waiting for us to arrive down the long drive as she used to do and as we will always remember her.  I didn't make it into a pillow because I wasn't sure if she would rather stretch it and hang it on the wall.
I was able to see Lisa and deliver it to her when we all converged on Morgantown for my father's 90th birthday.  She loves it!  Below are the photos:

After finishing it I made a few small adjustments.  Below is the final product.

At my father's birthday party I talked to my Aunt Jeanne who is Uncle Dave's wife.  He is my mother's twin brother.  Everyone had been telling me that Jeanne was enthralled with my pillows.  When I returned home I thought I better make one for Uncle Dave and Aunt Jeanne.  But what to do?  I was getting a bit tired of the Bucks County theme but then I came across a photo of  Bridge Four which was used on the cover of the program at my Aunt Mimi's memorial service.  It occurred to me that the bridge which overlooked my Aunt's cabin had a lot of significance.  We spent time under the bridge as kids making echos and would sit on the boardwalk of the spillway and dangle our feet into the canal in view of the bridge.  Right!  Perfect subject for a hooking.  Below is the inspirational photo and further on the hooking in progress and the final pillow.  Reflections in the water were a bit of a dilemma because I couldn't effectively get that much detail without losing the sense of it being water.  I tried instead to just suggest a bit of reflection.

 

What shall I do next?  I'm thinking of doing an abstract when I feel I have the energy. It's going to be a big rug to go on a floor. Thank you for reading my blog.  I continue to be surprised to find that so many of you enjoy my infrequent posts.
