Black Pumpkin and A Black Cat

I'm settling into the fact that it is September. I do like the cooler weather of fall, it's what comes after. I won't think about it. Ha! Anyways, I bought this pattern at a hookin this year. It is a design by Maria Barton-Star Rug Company. I have always admired the same rug that Lori Rippey has in her home. It was fun to hook.

Our cat, Lou, has been setting boundaries with our new puppy, Grady. Lou rules the roost around here. Our Golden Retrievers are scared of him. I had to take a picture, he didn't like it. Have a great day!

September

We are getting rain and lots of it. Last night Tom checked the rain gauge and we had more rain last night then the entire summer. Hurricanes usually are drought busters!! I finished this rug last night. The design is out of one of Tonya Robey-Madhen Primitives little booklets. I have been waiting to use a dyed piece of wool that I dyed awhile back. It worked out perfectly for this rug. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Julie

Puppy

There's nothing cuter than a Golden Retriever puppy! This is the last male, he is so cute. Today a couple came from Pittsburgh, PA.came and I got my favorite female. I know she will have a nice home. I have 3 females and 1 male left.
 Until next time...Julie

Autumn Rug

I'm getting in the mood to decorate for fall. I usually don't plant mums but, this year I will since all of my impatiens died. They got Downy mold and the drought took a toll on alot of my other flowers.I'm looking forward to next year. My tomatoes did well though! I want to publicly apologize to my Golden Retriever, Maddie. I thought she was killing my chickens and it wasn't her. It was a possum. Hope to get more rugs hooked. I did finish this one today. It is a Buttermilk Basin pattern, it measures 10.5"x 21". I hooked another one like this but, this is a new design. I got some other patterns of hers also. Love her designs. Hope everyone has a great week!

Witch Rug, Chickens and Puppies

Friday... that was fast!! I have been REALLY busy this week around Butler Farms- that is for sure! I did finish this rug. It is in one of Lori Brechlin's Not Forgotten Farms OOP booklets. This is a design I have wanted to hook. There's a few more that I've never hooked in some other booklets.

The chickens.... that isn't going so well. We have decided we cannot have free range chickens here on Butler Farms. Maddie has never bothered the chickens till she had puppies. Last night they came up on my porch and roosted.

I registered the puppies online thru AKC, just waiting for the papers in the mail. They are so fun. They will be 7 weeks Sunday. Some one picked one out last night and we painted his toe nails with polish-he looks pretty HA!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Julie
