A Few More Rugs From Sauder Village

The weather here in Ohio is just beautiful! This is what everyone is waiting for, blue skys, no humidity just perfect. Today we are going to paint a little building on our farm. Hope it goes fast.
Here are a few pictures of rugs that I took At Sauder.
I love this first rug. Patriotic rugs are right up my alley!!! LOL!
Some day I would love to hook a rug like this one. I've always wanted to hook a rug of our farm, with all the barns.
This design is by Lori Brechlin.

Isn't this a great Halloween rug??

As soon as I saw this rug I thought of Sharon-Moosecraft who lives in NJ. This was a very cute rug!!

Hope everyone has a good evening!

Sauder Rugs


This past Thursday I went to Sauder Village. The first 3 pictures are by Maria barton Star Rug Company.

Star Rug Company hooked by Maria

I love the Tumbling Pumpkins! Rhonda bought this pattern also. Can't wait to see how she hooks this one. Ali from Kindred Spirits was selling alot of Maria's patterns. All the rugs are really nice.

Thsi rug was designed and hooked by Nola Heidbreder. My friend Rhonda bought the pattern from Nola. I can't wait to see how Rhonda hooks it. Nola said it took her 40 hours to hook the rug, it is just beautiful!

This is a Halloween rug that really caught my eye. I love it!

This is the same pattern, hooked in blue.

Sauder Village and A Jack Rug


It is hard to believe another week has gone by. Last week I went to Sauder Village it took 3 hours to get there. We got back home faster, didn't listen to the GPS. LOL! I went with 3 other girls and had a really great time. Bought some wool and a pattern from Wendy Miller. The vendors were great and I got to see the person I'm always talking to on the phone to order wool, that would be Rebecca Erb. I ran into Bobbie-Evening Stitcher, I love talking to Bobbie she is the sweetest!!
The rugs were so pretty and lots of them!! I took lots of pictures to share.
I just finished this rug today. I bought this pattern fron Wendy Miller. I love the way it turned out and it was fun to hook. It helps when I had all the right colors of wool in my stash.
Hope everyone has a great week!

A Trip To the Veterinary Clinic


Today my daughter and I took Maddie to the vet for an exam and shots. She already weighs 48 LBS.. The reason why I haven't posted pictures of her on my blog is she doesn't sit still long enough. I think the hardest job would to be a professional photographer for animals. Maddie LOVES to be outside and always wants out. We are working with her because when she's outside she won't listen. So, we've had to put her on a lease. She's doing well though.

The weather finally broke here in Ohio. The heat and humidity are gone for a few days. We turned off the air, how refreshing. Now I have to get caught up on mowing and weeding. Have a great week!
