It warms the cockles of my heart to know that you still take time out of your busy day to read my blah, blah, blah.  I appreciate it more than you will ever know.  Thank you so much :)  I know blogging is dying a slow (or maybe not so slow) death, but I have no plans to stop.

Here is the wonderful Chinese auction item I won at the recent hook in.  The impeccable work of Lanna Omlor, sister of Lori Ann Corelis.  She made one at a class with Lori Ann and had enough supplies to make another which she so generously donated as an auction item.  That family is sure loaded with talent. 

Look at the sweet mohair mouse munching on the strawberry.

 

I also forgot to share this pattern that came home with me from Cedar Lakes rug camp.  The pattern is by Red Barn Rugs.  It is the rug with the hooked border that looks like braiding.  We'll see if I ever get brave enough to tackle that.

 

 

Also some of the wool that came home with me from rug camp, some purchased from Heavens to Betsy at the hook in and some from my Monday night hooking.  I think all hookers are addicted to wool.  I have more than I can use in three lifetimes, but that doesn't stop me from purchasing more.  We never have the right color, do we?

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  A perfect day here in Ohio.  Getting a bit of edging done by the sidewalk, drive and along the curb.  One of my least favorite outdoor tasks.  Hopefully I will get it done tomorrow so I can start edging the gardens. 

 

Pug hugs :)
