Wool Feather Trees

This week I learned how to make wool feather trees. I got together with a couple of my friends, Rhonda and Becky (missed you Stacie). I didn't know that it took 4 hours to complete a small one. It took 4 hours but, it was completely finished though. I told them I wouldn't make another one. Well, this is the second one I've made. I bought this Santa from Arnett's and the bigger tree looks better with it than the smaller one.

This is the first one I made. Both are made from wool that I hand dyed. The snow man is from Arnett's also.


Friday was an awful day for our country. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Feel so bad for the kids, teachers and their families. I feel really bad for all the people who have to investigate the scene... AWFUL!!! It is unreal. God Bless them all!!

Gingerbread Cupcakes~Yum!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Mine was busy as usual. I have been hooking and this is one of the rugs I finished. It is an adaption of a Country Stitches pattern.

All of my kids were home this weekend and Tommy's girlfriend, Jordan was here. Last night Tommy and his buddies were guest bartenders at Beano's Buckeye Ballroom. Raising money for Movember, men's health. Jordan made Gingerbread Cupcakes with gingerbread cookies~ they were so good!! until next time....Julie

A Blue Santa!!

Today is our November update for Primitive Handmades Mercantile. This is another rug that I hooked, it is a Ye Country Mercantile design. I am going to be busy, busy, busy these next few days! We are getting a new furnace, can't wait. I still have leaves to rake and flower beds to clean and on and on. Ha! Have a great weekend!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week!!!! It's that time again for our monthly update for Primitive Handmades Mercantile. This one is designed by Bird In The Hand Primitives. Robin designed this for our group, I love her designs. If you get a chance click on the icon on the side of my blog and it will take you to PHM.

Simple Goods Show

Yesterday I got to go to the Simple Goods Show. If you love primitives, this is a great show. It was packed with lots of shoppers!!! I bought this guy from Arnett's, I love it!

I finished this santa rug today. I bought the pattern from Ye Country Mercantile. It was a fun rug to hook.

I couldn't resist posting this picture of our puppy. He melts my heart. We call him Mr. Grady Baby. Golden Retriever puppies are about full size at 6 months, so they aren't little very long. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend!
