I Should Have Known Better ~



I was just a bit (now that's an understatement!) optimistic about what I would accomplish on my Sauder retreat this past weekend.  I had started this before leaving . . . 


. . . and finished the hooking at the retreat.  Sunday I "finished" it.  I just turned back the linen and stitched it down before putting it in this old drawer.  It is about the size of an old sewing machine drawer, but not nearly as deep.  The plan is to change it out seasonally, but we know about good intentions ~ haha.  I am most pleased at how it turned out.


I also had plans to finish the border on McMinn Antique, bind Vintage Blossoms and start on True Hearts.  Well, that sure didn't happen :(  I got about half the border hooked on McMinn and never started binding the rug until I got home, nor did I start True Hearts.  Such is the story of my life, but hey, I had a great time at Sauder so that is all that matters.

I was going to show a picture of McMinn Antique, but Molly climbed up on the frame and I didn't have the heart to move her.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Your heart project turned out perfect!!!!! And good golly but Miss Molly love the smell of her mama's scent on that wool project. Can understand why you didn't have the heart to make her move.

    The heart rug is beautiful along with the way you set it.
    My old kitties always sat on my rugs when they were in the frame, seems to be their favorite spot.

    As stated by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh 19 kilos less than we do.

    (By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING around "how" they are eating.)

    P.S, What I said is "HOW", not "what"...
