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!

Patriotic Bee Skep Rug

I finished this rug today, I've been working on it for 3 weeks, This is the 2ND one I've made. A couple years ago I made one but, used a light background with dark lettering. I really like the way it turned out. It is a pattern by Lori Brechlin~ Notforgotten Farms, the book is OOP though.
Wow! has it been hot and humid!! There are storms moving through right now, hope it's going to get rid of this. I really want to go outside and work in my yard but, it miserable out. Planted cucumber plants today. Every year I plant cucumbers and zucchini they die. I get the kind that say they disease resistant also. Asked the girls at the greenhouse and they said wait to plant them anytime after the 1st day of summer. I'm going to try it. Hope it works!
Have a great evening!

More Hook In Pictures

Here are more pictures of the hook in that I attended last Saturday at Kingwood in Mansfield, Ohio. These are the girls I hook with. On the far left is Phyllis, Rhonda~ myglorystars and Stacie. I love the kitten rug to the left, I'm pretty sure Katie hooked it.

It is hot and humid in Ohio. So I think I'm going to power wash my front porch. That should be a cool job today. Have a great day!

Kingwood Hook In

She loves the water. Notice that the water is dirty on the raft. She was wet and got in the dirt. Our puppy has doubled in size!! The thing about Golden Retrievers are that they grow fast and are almost full grown at 6 months. I need to start taking more pictures of her while she's a puppy.

We named her Maddie, she chose the name. We would call her all these names we liked, everytime we said Maddie she would perk up and come to us. Her name on her papers will be Madeline haven't figured the rest yet.

Puppies are adorable!!

I went to Kingwood in Mansfield to a hook in today. I really had a nice time. It was Katie Allman's hook in, she really puts alot of work into it. The rugs that everyone brought were beautiful. I'll post more through the week. In the middle of the picture is Alice Fraser.It was great talking to Alice, love reading her blog. She's always doing something exciting. The other gal is Felicia from Wooster, I met her at the Walnut Creek Hook In. We have a great time talking to her too.

I love this rug!! It is just beautiful!!



Hope everyone is having a great weekend! We are heading up to Marblehead to have lunch with Tom's dad and family. My dad is in West Virginia golfing. Happy Father's Day!
