Back To Reality

This is a picture I took in St. Thomas of our cruise ship from a mountain.

We are getting ready to stop at Dominico. I loved going out on our balcony to watch the ship dock and when we left the ports.

We flew to Puerto Rico on Friday and stayed there a couple days. I really liked Puerto Rico, we toured the forts. Road the trolley thru town, the streets are so narrow! We ate one night at the Hard Rock Cafe, the food was really good. We stayed at the Sheraton Old Suan Juan. It was very nice. Then got on the Carribean Princess on Sunday. There were over 3,000 passengers, the ship was huge. When we docked it looked like a high rise apartment~WOW!
The weather was 86 everyday. We had a great time and it was fun being with family. We got back to Puerto Rico last Sunday, it took all day to get home. We got back from our vacation last Monday morning at 1:30 AM
So back to reality.

~Holly Jolly Rug~

I have been hooking this rug but, couldn't get it done. I do have a good start on it so, it will have to wait till I get back from vacation.

It is another Lori brechlin design~ Notforgotten Farms~ Wynter Tyme booklet. I ran out of the primitive white, I knew I had more. Finally, found some more that I had dyed. If you want the pattern you can get it from Lori's picturetrail. Better get it fast she is going to retire all her older booklets.

Hope everyone has a great day!

~Vacation~

I will be gone for Veteran's Day Nov. 11. So I'm posting this early. Thank you Veterans!!

We are leaving on vacation Friday morning. Our plane leaves at 6:00 AM, so we are getting a hotel Thursday night by the airport. We are flying to Puerto Rico then getting on a cruise ship. I can't believe it's finally here and we're going. My sons will be staying at our house. Lindsay is at college but, tells me she's coming home for the BIG party at our house. HOPE they are kidding me!!!

I was sick off and on since August. Something was wrong but, my Dr. couldn't figure it out. She thought it was my gallbladder, I finally got a HIDA scan. No, wasn't that. Still I was so nauseous. So I went to Gastro Dr., I got a scope and he found a polyp in my stomach and removed it. I also have mild acid reflux. I'm so glad I went, feel so much better. All the clothes I bought are too big, that's a good thing. So had to buy more.
I am going to miss some good shows and Christmas Open Houses at some of my favorite shops. Hope everyone is having a great week!!

~Santa With A Feather Tree Rug~

Tonight I listed this rug on Ebay. It was hooked by me and the design is a Polly Minick design. I really like the old gold background.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was sun shiny here in Ohio today, which always puts me in a great mood. Tommorrow I'm going to have a busy day. I have an appointment to get new tires. Lindsay and I went shopping last Thursday and I pulled in the parking lot and we heard a LOUD hissing. My tire went flat,I ran over a piece of metal. Anyway, this couple was walking by as I was on the phone to Ford's Roadside Assistance. Of course the phone rang busy!! The guy offered to put on my spare, so I said ok. I was so thankful. Anyways, Katie if you are reading this the couple was from Ashland, Ohio. I told them that I was from Loudonville. They asked me if I knew one of their friends. So in turn the first person from Ashland that I thought of was Katie. Well, the wife was a teacher and had both of your kids in her class. The Johnsons. Anyway, I need to find out their address because I would love to send them a card. They saved us!! LOL!

~ Fall Migration~

It rained all day here in Ohio yesterday. The geese and ducks were enjoying it. This is on our farm we have an 18 acre marsh. Yesterday we had 3 flocks fly in. I couldn't count them all but, I would say there were several hundred geese.
Today my husband, Tom and son, Tommy are going to the OSU game. Think I'm going to hook all day."GO BUCKS"

~Monday Night Hooking~

Last night was hooking night at Katie Allman's~Kidl'-de-Divey Woolens. I have to admit I didn't hook, I just love to watch and talk to everyone. Isn't this rug beautiful that Katie is hooking? It needs to be in RHM.
I bought some beautiful wool, can't wait to hook with it.

Stacy had just moved her rug on her frame, she has alot more hooked on her rug.

Katie hooked this rug. The design is by Wendy Miller~The Red Saltbox. Katie works in the ER and said she was going to display the rug there. LOL!! Wouldn't that scare ya to get well fast??

Rhonda is hooking another BEAUTIFUL rug, I just love the colors she used. The design out of the book With These Hands. Keep watching myglorystars on Ebay she is going to sell this rug.

This is Becky,she's new like me. She was hooking this primitive pumpkin, I love it. Becky is a school bus driver, I know the kids must love her because she is so sweet.

~Santa Rug~

It sure is chilly here in Ohio. The sun was shining today, so that makes it seem warmer. It is supposed to get warmer here this week. Tonight I lised this santa rug on Ebay. It is a Need'l Love pattern. I love patriotic santas. Hope everyone has a great week.

~Snowman Rug~

I just listed this rug on Ebay tonight. I have been wanting to hook this rug. It's on the cover of Create and Decorate Feb. 2008 issue. The design is Tina Payton and is the cutest snowman pattern.
I hooked all day today, I'm trying to get a santa rug finished. Hopefully I can get it finished by the end of the week. We are going on a cruise the beginning of Nov., so I want to get some rugs hooked for the holiday season. Hope everyone is having a great week!!
