Slow Progress is Still Progress


in case you're not on Facebook
here's my rug progress
still working out which colors to use
which to leave out

I'm used to hooking much faster than this
especially with such a stash of wool strips
right now I'm splitting my time between hooking and cleaning
my NC sister will be here in a month
she and her DH will be doing some work for me
they know I have no time
but still...



Mom went to the hair salon for a trim today
she's been refusing for about a month
( we had a good day
she was looking serious here
after dropping a puzzle piece on the floor)

it's a roller coaster ride for her
always happy for good days
they started her on a new medicine
an anti-anxiety cream 
praying it helps
so we can keep the Haldol to a minimum

some day I get all boo hoo about my life
then  I talk to a lady at the facility who is my age
has MS, broke her leg last year, hasn't walked since
she has been doing rehab for months
as her leg heals while she works to lose some weight
 


a little giveaway for my blog readers
please don't share
I'd like this to be for my regular readers...

a very nice book
but once through was enough for me
a little worn around the edges
from bouncing around in my totebag

leave a comment on this post
letting me know of a story you'd like to hook

I'll draw a name Saturday morning
March 11th
it's already in an envelope with a piece of wool

planning on getting to the post office Monday morning

Dear Me


turns out I love this looked hooked pillow
it's about 15 x 8
and mine all mine
instead of going to ebay for sale



same goes for the little trio of pumpkins pillow
it's about 11 x 8
a keeper!

 Pumpkin with Crows
hooked rug will be heading to a new home...

the giveaway Winner:

Robin 
of 
The Cranky Crow!!!

way better than the bee skep it was going to be...

give me an email 
with your address and it'll be on it's way
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
not in the mood to list things for sale
having too much fun hooking again
especially as I'm in a 
keep it all 
frame of mind

Guess Who's Hooking?


not Olivia
who is cranky due to
"nap interrupted"
especially with no snack to show for it


nor Melrose
also of "the nap interrupted"
he doesn't mind though
since he got some chin scratches 



it's ME !!!
working on the giveaway rug
that went from bee skep to pumpkins

decided to cut all new strips of wool for this
having fun not doing a real scrappy piece for once

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the winner of the caption giveaway:

Cyndi - woollylottrugs

I used the random number generator
thanks for playing along...

once I get the rug hooked and shipped
there will be a new giveaway

Happy September

another work in progress takes a turn on the wall
there are six of these little churn dash blocks
~ ~ ~
FYI: nothing I've been posting this week is newly stitched
all the patchwork was done over the summer
as I clean up the sewing room I put different
patches on the wall to "admire"

the only time I felt well enough to do anything
this week was late on Thurs
when I cleaned and organized a bit...
I was glad to get back to work last night
glad we were slow though!



by Pumpkin Thyme Patterns
oooh...saw this on Pinterest a while ago
need to find someone to make me one!



Giveaway!!!

I've gathered up a box of wooly worms 
that need a new home with a happy hooker...

Leave a comment on this post
with a caption for the above photo
for your chance to win...

by 6 pm EST on Labor Day
lower 48 US residents only please

the box is packed and ready to ship
as I'm heading for the post office Tuesday with some

Olivia is acting normal

guess it was the mint flavor she couldn't resist

Bye Bye Bee Skep


 you know that rug I was hooking about a million year ago?
where I needed help deciding on what to add...

 well...
it just didn't work out
so now I'm using some of the wool
to hook a big pumpkin 
with the crow


still going to be a giveaway rug
still the same four folks in the running...

which color do you think I'll choose for the pumpkin???
haven't decided yet...
love them all

I'm not a veggie person

to put it mildly...

I've tried

cooked green beans (canned no less)

and a few others

I don't eat veggies...



I'm still trying...

kale mixed in a vanilla protein drink

with a cup of mixed berries

and some flax seed

it's a start...



Happy Birthday to Me

~a one day give away~

today only

comment on this post and include

your birth month

What am I giving away?
it has something to do with wool

Peace and Quiet

That's how it starts out:

a day of peace and quiet

Melrose with his favorite toy


Olivia peacefully resting on the couch

not quite minding her own business

but certainly not

asking for trouble


... then he spots her...

who wants a pipe cleaner toy

when there is a live little cat to chase?


Care to guess what happens next?


no more peace and quiet

that's for sure!


I've been working on finishing some

UFO's

binding small quilts

making little pinkeeps out of stitcheries

some will be for my

giveaway

coming soon...

Sweet Dreams

Another peaceful afternoon

nap in the sun beams...

After she chased Melrose
out of the room
...
if I'm petting her
when he enters the room
she chases after him
like a grizzly bear
then comes running
back for more
attention


Some time tomorrow

I'll have a new giveaway posted

Only for my followers
in the USA
(sorry, it's the shipping
charges elsewhere)

Some fabric from my stash
a few strawberry pinkeeps
