Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenendoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads.
I am picking up hooker friend Melissa at 5 AM (that's in the morning ~ UGH) on Friday and we are heading to Susan Feller's Retreat in to the Mountains. This is our third year attending and it is three days of hooking fun. Have I started to pack? No, though I do have a list made. Do I have to work tomorrow? Yes. I'd say my evening tomorrow evening will be busy :)
I do have my pattern picked. It is found in this book . . .
. . . and is a pattern by Barbara Carroll called "Here a Chick". It looks like a fun hook and friend Sheila, though not going to West Virginia, will begin hooking it, too.
Since I am terrible at choosing colors of wool, I am taking enough wool to hook 3 or 4 rugs . . . and I probably still won't have the colors I want . . . lol!
I am taking the easy way out and posting this from my desktop but I really need to figure out the iPad thing. Thank you so much for all your comments.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

I am new to your blog and had to laugh at you picking up your "hooker" friend! LOL I love the look of hooked rugs but that is one thing I've never done. The pattern you are going to do looks like it will be really cute! I am your newest follower.

ReplyDeleteHave fun and I hope you get lots of hooking done. Lovely pattern by the way. I wish I could have given you a tip about your Ipad but that is why I don't have one. Just not skilled in the computer department.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all works out for you. Have a blast!
Ok Lauren, how far did you get on your rug? Love the design! Hugs, Lori
