MY NAME IS ALICE FRAIZER AND I'VE BEEN HOOKING RUGS FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS ~ SELF TAUGHT ~ AND THEN SOUGHT OUT GOOD TEACHERS TO HELP MAKE IT A PLEASUREABLE EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN A CHORE!  THAT'S WHAT I HOPE I CAN DO FOR PEOPLE ~ ENCOURAGE THEM TO HAVE A LOVE FOR HOOKING RUGS AND MAKING ART.  AS WITH ANY 'HOBBY', IT ALMOST HAD TO EVOLVE INTO A BUSINESS TO HELP SUPPORT MY HABIT!  I ACQUIRED MORE WOOL, HAD MY HUSBAND DESIGN A REALLY FUNCTIONAL FRAME AND STAND AND STARTED SHARING WHAT I KNOW WITH PEOPLE!  I HAVE DONE SHOWS FOR OVER 25 YEARS AS A DOLL MAKER  ~ SO IT WAS JUST AN EASY TRANSITION TO BEGIN SELLING LITTLE HOOKED RUGS AND THEN THE SUPPLIES!  I STILL DO A COUPLE OF SHOWS A YEAR BUT FOCUS ON DOING BUSINESS RIGHT HERE IN MY HOME STUDIO!

OUR BUSINESS IS VERY CASUAL ~ I WORK BY APPOINTMENT ~ JUST CALL AND WE'LL BE AVAILABLE TO SEE YOU! YOU CAN COME FOR AN HOUR TO SHOP OR PLAN FOR AN ALL DAY CLASS!  YOU CAN BRING A GROUP ~ I DO LUNCHEONS AND HOUSE TOURS  ~ WE'LL CUSTOMIZE A VISIT JUST FOR YOU!
