I would like to be gracious and tell you I'll sit this out because I've had such a hard time keeping up with blogging lately, but I just can't do it. You know I LOVED these from the get-go....The only problem is not being able to see both adorable sides at the same time....And if I'm not so fortunate to win one, I hope you would consider selling me one.

I had visions of a deer + a car = $$$ for body work! I've never had the deer eat my mums - hope Eastern Ohio deer don't like them either.

My hostas also get eaten by deer before the flower spikes show, which leaves me with stalks like a bunches of flopping-outward celery to enjoy for the summer. But I like the deer more than the plants, and so it goes. I was upset when they ate my hydrangeas, however. <br /><br />Love your hand-torn-strip pumpkins. No buyers, sad to hear, but now you can enjoy one yourself, have a giveaway (thank you kindly), and still have one for perhaps a thanksgiving purpose.<br /><br />... jan (pjrutledge1@verizon.net) janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066375977524543633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378251841712950681.post-61827250381688723742012-09-13T17:09:24.743-04:002012-09-13T17:09:24.743-04:00I was at the first Shaker Hooking Camp so didn'...I was at the first Shaker Hooking Camp so didn't meet you.

I have a small in booth in a near by town and while people comment and rave about my rugs, I've yet to sell one. I think price is the reason (At least I hope that's the case! HA) but with the price of wool, I've priced for almost the same amount it cost me to make them. SIGH Guess I'll have to stick to NP & cross stitch to make my sells.

I'm in a suburban area too and never thought I'd see deer here... but, they are. And, they eat everything that I buy... funny how they leave the weeds and native plants alone? lol! They ate my impatiens, marigolds, sweet potato vine, hostas, ornamental willow tree.... tomatoes (of course) lol! I think the only they left alone was daisies, geraniums and mountain purple something or others... lol! There is a mum plant in the yard that has yet to be disturbed... so I think we're in luck! :-) LOVE your hooked pumpkin! moosecrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309739222008330155noreply@blogger.com
