I've decided to take a break from my What Nots rug and work on something for fall. This is a pattern from Cathy G over at Orange Sink. The pattern can be found here. The pattern is about 10" x 20" and is a fun one to hook. (As always, the colors, especially the flower petals, are more muted in person!)
Today, in Oberlin, Ohio, was a rescue event called the Doggie Do. Annie and I spent the day there and she is totally worn out. She is like a little kid trying so hard to keep her eyes open. She was using one of her toys as a pillow.
I actually sold one of my pumpkins :) If my memory hasn't failed me (and it has that tendancy), it is the first hooked piece that I have ever sold. Thanks, Jan, you made my day!
Don't forget to sign up for my give-away. I will pick a winner tomorrow evening.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
