My Sheep Hooked Rug is Done

Just a quick post to say that my very first hooked rug...........Lexington Proddy Sheep is finally done and hanging up!
I am officially "hooked" on rug hooking. I got the pattern and took the class for this rug from
Alice at her studio.
I have another one on my frame now plus I am binding a little mat sized one that I did with some scraps. Have a couple more planned to do........
see I told you I was "hooked"!



We are having a break in our weather today, only supposed to go to 88 degrees.
Will be back soon with some more photos.
Have a great day everyone.

Dog Days of Summer

Well, it has been here at our house. First, because of this week's awful heat and second because we have two of our Grand Dogs this week while their parents are vacationing.

Gracie and Summer







After playing in the yard for awhile they try to see who can be first inside to the air conditioning.















I know a lot of people are starting to wish for Summer to be over and for Fall to arrive but as hot as it is......NOT ME! We had such a cold long Winter this year that I am not ready for it again anytime soon. I love Fall but I know what comes after that!
When it is this hot I just stay put and stay in where it is cool. And I have been working on my rugs. I am putting on the binding on this rug right now.














Then I will finish this one. Pictures to follow when they are finished.
















Try and stay cool this week end.

We meet again.....Finally!

I don't know where the past months have gone but..................they have disappeared.
Since my last post I have had far too many Doctor visits and repair work done on this body.
No...not any face lifts or lipo.........just routine maintenance.
Are any of you due for a mammogram or Colonoscopy? If so, get them done!

Remember back in May when Linda and Audrey from APP traveled to Susie's Shop Bittersweet Treasures in Rochester NH and this was the prize for the winner of the drawing?

Well, I was the lucky winner and here is this fabulous bird house in my yard. Thanks again Susie for drawing my name.




And many thanks to Linda for wrapping it up so carefully and sending it to me.












I have always loved collecting little shoes and now my obsession is into garden shoes too.
I love planting old work boots..big or small. I even have some little Mary Janes with hens and chicks too.

















My new passion is rug hooking and I was able to go to the hook in at the Kingwood Center in Mansfield that so many other have blogged about. Soon I will post some pictures of my humble beginnings! Yes, Lauren and Alice....I really will!

Until then.........bye for now.
