The Hurrier I Go . . .

. . . the behinder I get.
Another week behind me and did I get everything crossed off my list?  I think we all know the answer to that one!  I did go hook for a couple hours last evening, but did I remember my camera?  I think we know the answer to that question, too :)  I did get a fair amount of hooking done last evening and Henny Penny is nearing completion.  It is only 15" x 21" so it has taken me much longer than it should have.  I do like the purple feet!  


I don't plant annuals in the garden, but I have an old iron wheelbarrow to fill along with crocks, old buckets, etc.  Today was the first day I bought anything to plant.  I need to buy more but I need to plant what I bought today.  {{Just a bit behind!}}
Tomorrow is the hook-in that I blogged in my previous post.  I need to finish gathering up and load the car.  All the spoon jewelry fits in a plastic shoe box, but it's trying to remember all the extras that need to be taken.  Wish me luck that I sell lots of necklaces!
I'll leave you with a couple pics of my favorite redhead.  He was so excited to get his own motorcycle vest.


Soon he won't be toothless.  Kids look so much older once they have teeth!


I really must get busy and pack up.
Happy weekend to you!
Pug hugs :)

    Hi, Lauren,
    Love how henny penny is turning out. I once heard that a certain teacher (can't remember who) said you should always have a pinch of purple. Love the feet! And what a cute young motorcycle man. Have fun at your hook in, and hope you sell lots of stuff.

    I know the feeling well. The hurrier I go, the behinder I get too... Your chicken rug looks great. I love that grey Chicken.

    Oh I love your reflection in the sunglasses. You're taking Jake's picture. I even enlarged the picture to get a better look. He he. Hugs, JB

    Good luck with the jewelry. I was so taken with the purple feet that I bought a pair of purple/blue reptile print shoes. I finished planting a few days ago so you're not alone in being behinder. Can't believe it's the end of June already!

    I do love those purple feet on your rug! I think that most of us don't ever get accomplished what we want to in a week. Have fun at your hook-in and I hope that you sell a lot of necklaces!!

    I can SOOOO relate.....I'm not planted yet either - but, unfortunately, I don't have your discipline....I've picked up a few plants here and there, and only when they are bordering on terminal do I plop them in a pot. Right now there are several in my ICU corner of the garage. And I just put my calla bulbs in yesterday....Ha! Think they'll bloom before the snow flies again? Don't think I've ever been this far behind with plantings....and motivation. Love Jake's new vest - what a man! And Henny Penny is delightful! Such a fun play with the colors. I'm SURE your necklaces were a hit.....just waiting for the news that you're sold out and will be busy for weeks with orders..... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
