It Wasn't Meant to Be :(

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.  Monday night I spoke with Annie's prospective furever mom and she was all excited and we set up the adoption for May 11 since she was heading out of town this weekend.  First thing Tuesday morning I received an email saying that she and hubby talked it over some more and decided Annie was not the right dog to join their family.  They were afraid Annie's desire for affection would cause jealousy with their two dogs.  I was really bummed for Annie, but better to find out sooner rather than later.  Think good thoughts for this Saturday when we will be heading to another event.

Here are some of the rugs displayed at last Saturday's hook-in in Ann Arbor, MI.

I've made great progress on my antique adaptation.  After agonizing for a few days on how to hook the background (I knew it would be hooked vertically, but did I want blocks of color or more of a hit and miss?) and what colors of wools to use, it is a real no-brainer to hook.  I am hooking it in a 9.5 cut so it's hooking up rather quickly.  I am using 8 or 9 light wools in addition to the few darks.  The colors are much better in person ~ especially the dog!

Happy hump day!
Pug hugs :)
