JackO-Lantern Rug

This is the first pumpkin rug I've hooked this year. It seems a little early but, I've been wanting to hook this pattern for awhile. I bought the orange striped reversible wool at the hookin at Kingwood from the Aults. I LOVE it! I found out that is very hard to get, sure wish I had more of it. This is a Maggie Bonanomi Need'l Love Book Haunted Threads pattern. I really like the way it turned out. Have a great evening!!

Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th of July!! Our fireworks were last night, they were really nice. We went on top of a hill on our farm and could see them perfectly.
I planted this fairy garden yesterday. I went to Berlin to a store, Country Gatherings, where they sell plants and accessories for fairy gardens. All of their ideas are inspiring but, expensive LOL!! My flowers are doing good, I hope to post some pictures this week.


I finished this rug today and listed it on Ebay. It is a Kindred Spirits design. I have hooked this rug before but, I did the background in a light background. I like the dark background better. Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!!

Hooking At Rhonda's House

Today we met at Rhonda's house to hook. This is the group of girls that hook at Katie's. It was nice getting together since we stopped hooking for the summer. Everyone brought a covered dish, the food was so good. Everyone was there except for Katie, she had to work. This first picture is Rhonda,her fireplace is beautiful. She is always telling me how she's staying home and not leaving. Now I see why, her house is beautiful.

Rhonda makes quilts also.

Stacie is hooking a welcome rug.

Karen and Becky

Phyllis was working a rabbit rug.
Hopefully tommorrow I can get some garden pictures posted. Have a great evening!

Gus and Maddie

Gus is accepting Maddie or he's putting up with her. She's in the biting stage, can't wait till she outgrows that. Gus doesn't like it either, she bites his ears. We had her on a leash and Gus led her around the yard.

I stayed inside today and finished this rug. I really like the way it turned out. It is an adaption from a Kindred Spirits pattern.
Hopefully tommorrow I can get outside and get some things done outside. It has been so hot and humid that I haven't gotten to work outside.

Isn't She the Cutest

Isn't she so cute!! Meet Cutty(named after Cutty in the TV show House). My friend Chris has been taking care of her. I was over at her house yesterday and fed her a bottle.


This is my friend Chris's house. The Nikko Blue Hydrangeas are beautiful.

We are going canoeing today. My husband's family is coming here for our annual canoe trip. It is supposed to be hot today. Hope everyone has a good day!
