~Final Finished Rug~


Here is an updated picture of the Settler's Cabin rug. I sent a picture of the finished rug to the person that ordered it. She didn't like some of the colors, so I
changed them.

~Hot and Humid In Ohio~


It has been so hot and humid here in Ohio. I don't mind the heat but, I don't like it when it's humid. Last weekend we had our annual canoe trip with my husband's family. The river was perfect, it was so fun. Summer is winding down, can't believe it's alomost Sept..

I've been busy with Lindsay, trying to find furniture and stuff for her apartment. College will be starting in Sept. so we have a little time to find everything.

Yesterday I finished this rug, I just have to sew the binding on it. The person that ordered the rug wanted the star, heart, and flowers hooked in Robin's egg blue wool, hope she likes it. Now what to hook next, I have so many rugs I want to hook it's hard to decide!!

~Garden Update~












I posted my pictures and tried to write something under each one. After I posted, all the writing was all over the place. So, guess I'll write here. I can't believe it is August, the summer has flown by. We have had lots of rain in Ohio, over 4 inches last week. My dahlias are starting to bloom, dahlias are one of my favorite flowers. No.1 is Hydrangreas, there are so many different varieties. The big tall Hydrangeas at the side of my house is called Limelight.
I should paint our little shed but, haven't had time. The next thing you know it's going to be too cold to paint.
Finally got the 3 twig scarecrows up. I made another one a couple weeks ago. We had some sycamore limbs come down. So I made a scarecrow out of it, looks like the poor guy has skin problems. LOL!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Primitive "Oh My" Rug


I just listed this rug on Ebay tonight. It is another Lori Brechlin~Not forgotten Farms pattern. We started a new launch on PRHG, the theme is "Harvest Under The Moon".

We have gotten 5 inches of rain in the last week. So this week I'll be mowing. It is great for our corn, we are getting 2 ears on each stalk. This year I planted potato seeds in April.So I have been digging up red potatoes~usually I don't get them planted that early. The broccoli is ready also. Fresh vegetables are so good.
Hope everyone has a great week!!

~Harvest Moon Rug~


I just listed this rug on Ebay. It was hooked by me and the design is Lori Brechlin's from her booklet Harvest Tyme. The booklet has alot of great designs in it. If you want to order patterns from Lori, I have her blog listed. She sells her patterns from her picture trail.
I'm in the mood to hook fall rugs, I started another rug yesterday. The summer is flying by, trying to slow down and enjoy the cooler weather.
We are getting a new roof put on our house. I feel sorry for the guys doing it, there were 3 layers of shingles. It took them 4 days to peel off the shingles, what a mess. We are having a metal roof instead of shingles, can't wait for it to be done!!
