The Rug Rooking Podcast has launched!
Now you can listen to rug hooking tips and lessons while your eyes are busy driving to the next rug hooking workshop or while you are mowing the lawn.
I’ve been posting video every week at rughooklive.com, but you may not have the free time to sit and watch a video lesson. Not everything I talk about requires you to watch, so I’ve sorted out those topics and will post them as a podcast.
Be sure to visit iTunes and Subscribe. Once you listen to several episodes please leave a review. That encourages iTunes to show the podcast to other rug hookers. You can also comment below or on iTunes. I’d love to hear what you have to say.
Episode 1
This first episode is my story. You may already know a lot of it if you’ve been following me for a while. You can listen to the first episode right here.

New episodes released on Tuesday — just not every Tuesday

Cindi, Linda Long and I are almost back to Houston. We just listened to your very first podcast (love listening to podcasts) and you did not sound like anything but yourself. Not stiff at all. Looking forward to more from you!

Like getting used to seeing myself on camera, it will take time for me to get used to this process. I just recorded episode 005. Trying to get ahead of the process a bit. Thanks for the encouragement.
