Just a Quickie ~



Since Saundra showed you her hearts, I thought I would show mine, too.  The heart on the left is much more subtle in person.  It is just wonderful shades of "dark".  


I did not stuff mine but finished them off with a patchwork back.  I wish I had time to hook a couple more . . . maybe next year.


Oh, what a day at work.  When I got back from lunch I had seven messages and must have had at least 75 more calls after that.  Let me just say that there were no happy campers.  I was told I was snotty, that I didn't give a damn and was hung up on several times.  If the weather is that bad (we must have gotten 10" plus lots of blowing snow) and you don't have a vehicle that can plow through it, do you really need to go to the bank? If you knew a storm was coming, why did you wait until today to pick up your prescription. GGGRRRRR!!!  Can you tell I had a bad day? Tomorrow will be better ~ I am leaving work a little early and heading to Sauder Village to hook for two days.  Just a little bit of heaven :)  Well, I really need to pull the wool for my rug.  Oh, that's just so hard for me.  I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

Thanks for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Ok, go trolling through your wool stash and throw some things in your bag. Forget the phone and the pesky tax payers and the snow. Focus on the hook, fondle the wool, breathe.......

    I am so sorry but I am so happy you have two days of heaven. People can be so unthinking and rude.
    A little bit of hooking will help.
    Have fun. Your hearts are wonderful.

    I like how you pieced the backings on them, great idea to use up small scraps of wool.

    Your hooked hearts are gorgeous! I agree with you on the people situation.... it seems everyone wants to blame someone else for their situation... and heaven forbid anyone should plan ahead... yeesh! You deserve a woolie vacation! Enjoy!
    P.S. I read somewhere... "Why isn't common sense more common?" lol! Sooo tru!

    Some days at work can really test your patience, that's for sure! So glad you are going to get away for a couple of days. That will be very enjoyable!

    I use to keep a poster behind my desk at work that said
    "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

    enjoy your retreat.

    Hurry up and get going... The nerves of some people. I like Jacqueline quote. Have fun and don't think about work.
    Hook your heart away. Love the hearts.

    Hugs,

Now you're gonna give me nightmares for sure. ;o) I adore your sweet hearts (get it - "sweethearts"???) Ok....time for nighty night..... Have fun hooking....save a corner for me!!
