I retired. These two years have flown by. I must say, I absolutely LOVE retirement. I highly recommend it :) I have not been bored a single day and life is usually crazy busy. I just wish there were more hours in the day or I could get by on less sleep.
I finished binding the little hooked mat for the picnic basket. I wasn't sure how to attach it to the lid. I knew I didn't want to glue it on.
Connie of Wool Yankers suggested going from corner to corner. I found some 1" black elastic and it worked perfectly. The mat sits snugly on top. Now I just need to label it and it will be ready for Christmas giving.
Bright and early tomorrow morning, friend Melissa and I are heading 5+ hours to Danville, IN, for the Woolkeepers hook in. We are excited to be vending there for the first time. Wish us luck and safe travels.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Retirement is great ! The days fly by too fast though ! Love your hooked top for the pretty basket & the way you attached it is such a good idea. When I did that years ago , I sewed a piece of wool to the entire back & then glued it on the top of the basket. This way you can change it to with the season !!! Ha ...another project !!! Have a great time at the show !!!!
Congratulations on your 2 years of retirement. Why did not those years of working fly by so quickly? I LOVE the top of your basket. Enjoy your day at the show and vending with safe traveling. Peace for all, Barb
Am so happy for you and your retirement. With all your projects you will never be bored!
I remain in total agreement with you on retirement. Where does the time go?? The picnic basket is charming, and what a clever way to attach the rug! Have fun, sell lots and be safe.
Congrats on 2 years! I was thinking it was only a year? lol! Awesome idea for attaching the mat to the basket top!
Two years already? Did you find anything to keep you busy yet? LOL!! That lid is fabulous! Good luck vending!
It was so nice to meet you at Danville. Its alway fun to meet in person when you read a blog. You can put a face with the name and blog. Cindy Huxtable. (Linda's friend)
That piece is just lovely! And I love how you attached it to the basket -- very clever! Have fun at your hook in! (I can't believe it's been two years since you retired!)
Has it been 2 years already? Enjoy the time staying busy & posting all your beautiful pictures & taking us with you to all the events you attend! Your latest creation is stunning, as usual. Great idea!
