Betsy Style ~


Happy holiday weekend to you!  I am so lucky to have a three day weekend and I hope to accomplish much, but so far I don't have a single thing - no matter how small - to cross off my to-do list.  I am such a list maker.  I would get NOTHING done if it wasn't written down!
Last evening I finally finished, I mean really FINISHED (well, except for the label ~ smile) one of my "Betsy style" hand torn pumpkins.  I think it came out pretty cool.  Only four more to go . . . sigh.



In my last post I showed some rugs and said to guess who hooked them.  I'm sorry if I caused any confusion.  It was not me!  It was Maria Barton of Star Rug Company.  She has the most wonderful, whimsical patterns ~ and is a real sweetie!  If you ever have a chance to take a class from her, jump at the opportunity.  You won't be disappointed!

I had a few people interested in the applique pattern and Denise, a long time reader, had her name chosen.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Lauren, your pumpkin turned out beautiful. I like how you finished the back too. Having it reversible is an added bonus.

    I'm a list person too, it's the only way to stay on course and get things done.

    Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend .

    Like your wide looped punkin' and how you finished the back. I forget the size and what you're going to use them for? Hot pads, chair pads, mug mats, table decorations for fall? I see all these cool things people are hooking and I want to hook them too. But OMG, where's the time????
