the rug is now hooked and whipped

needs some wool strips to finish

makes me want to hook larger rugs

Harvest Blessings

15.5 x 19.5

so a few weeks ago my desktop crashed

have been using my phone or laptop

for most things

still getting the hang of blogging on laptop

a few more days left of my vacation

as always no painting was done

given the choice between hook/needle and brush

I am never going to get my walls repainted

at least they are clean

as are the baseboards and all the trim

so I did a little prep work

that should count for something...

wishing all my friends

sweet dreams tonight

and a joyful tomorrow

Happy Labor Day!

it's my day off and I'm resting

Kitchen Sink Rug

this scrappy rug is going in front of the kitchen sink

hoping this one will really shrink the worm stash

fun using colors I normally avoid 

mats prepped and ready to finish

whip the edges

then cover the back with a heavier wool

will practice on these before doing Debbie's

biscuit making

he looks a mess but I swear he's always being brushed

working on decluttering this week

about 20 large bags of fabric donated to a few 

churches and gals that make small quilts

for hospitals, homeless and nursing homes

still plenty left for quilt making

next I'm tackling Mom's clothes

starting with her coat collection

she loves coats like some women love shoes!

Wishing you a good day...

 

A Favorite Oldie

this photo has to be about 10 years old

my front stoop the year I went (extra) pumpkin crazy

much loved rug design by Brenis Thompson

Circle Whimsy

would love to hook another in different colors...

maybe I can tall her in to drawing one up

the days are flying by

good and bad alike

we get through them with prayer, laughter and tears

the weather is perfect for Mom and I

took take walks outside

checking out the sunflowers, chipmunks, bird feeders

think I'll sneak some pumpkins under her bird feeder

once I hit the farm market

stopped by this one yesterday for Honey Crisp apples...

I should be working on the layers of dust

accumulating around here

yeah right
