Saturday was the hook-in at Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio. This wonderful hook-in is a gift to hookers from the oh-so-generous and talented Katie of Kidl'-de-Divey Woolens. The setting is beautiful and all the homemade goodies she provided were very yummy. Thank you, Katie!!!
Her theme this year was a baby shower. We were asked to bring the first rug we hooked. Below is a sampling of the rugs. It is hard to believe some of these rugs were the first rug hooked. Their first rug looks better than my 60th!
A silent auction of donated items netted almost $800 for the Ashland Crisis Pregnancy Center.

Kingwood Center is a former private estate that is now a public garden. Here is a sampling of the succulents and cacti in the greenhouse.

Just shoot me Lol those were first rugs! Wow I am impressed! Those succulents were really neat looking. I have a couple of them in my garden in California. I am going hooking tomorrow can hardly wait.
Ok, Miss Lauren - so which one is yours??? Not holding out on us, are ya??? ;o) Seriously - that is truly amazing...can't believe any of those are "firsts" - I'd be frightened to try them now after years of hooking...(But - I know your pieces are awesome too - just saw one over at Tam - A Primitive Place that she apparently won in a giveaway before I started blogging...Wow....LOVE it!!! Loved the photos of the gardens too - reminds me of our time in Arizona when we vacationed there.....Can't wait to see more!!! (And you'd better fess up on your "first!") :o) Have a wonderful week! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
Those were first rugs? Wow...all are amazing. The succulent collection is amazing as well. I have never been to a formal hook-in, but I can see come fall I need to locate and attend one. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to future photos.
Wow, you should see my first rug......hahaha. Those are amazing. Sounds like a great hook-in. Love the pics of the plants - there are some freaky looking ones there.
Wow - thanks for the "rug show" Lucky you getting to go!
Loved every one of those rugs...everyone is so talented and I must say that's a great idea the directer had...and the place was beautiful.
Great going raising that kind of money.

So great to see you again Lauren! Kate does put on a wonderful hook-in.
Let's see....rugs AND succulants....doesn't get better than that!
Great looking rugs! I like the one with the girl watering the dandelions! Cute! Interesting looking succulents...
Lauren......your pictural review of the Hook-in is just wonderful. Gee, you take such good pics! It was so fun to be there. I have to wash all of my precious new wools that I bought today.
And yes, I am going to prepare a blog post!
