Another week has flown by. Summer has ended (boo hoo) and fall has begun. This week we are having the weather we should have had in August. I'd love fall if spring came after it :)
My house still isn't totally done. The siding guy probably has about 10 minutes worth of work left to do. Now I need to stop dragging my feet and get busy. I need to paint around the front door (decorative trim that I did not want sided), paint the front door and get a new storm door. Plus look for new light fixtures and a mailbox. I am vending at Hooked in the Valley in Wooster, OH in a few weeks so have been trying to get things made for that. It is supposed to be more than just a hook in, so I am trying to get some finished goods made. I have been concentrating on little hooked pieces. Here are the sunflowers almost done. I just need to add the old bed spring.

Pumpkins hooked with hand torn strips that need their "Betsy style" patchwork backs put on. I wasn't thinking when I drew out the small pumpkin on the bottom. I did not leave enough room to hook a border around it, so I will need to just add a wool back to it.
Pumpkin mats. I still need to add a couple rows to make this a rectangle.
I like the beaded edge on the first little pumpkin but I sure don't enjoy doing it.
A little crow mat. I decided I had enough pumpkins.
One just never knows what will sell, so I've got my fingers crossed I'm making things people will want to buy.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Great sunflowers and hooked pumpkins. Oh yeah, I remember the days of trying to second guess the buyers. Good luck figuring that out.
