These are the last of the rugs I will post from Rug Hooking Week at Sauder Village. There were many, many more that I did not photograph. The talent displayed was amazing. If you ever have the chance to attend, do not hesitate.

Week 3 Progress ~ and More
The kitchen/bath remodel is moving along but nothing to show. Bruce has still been doing prep work and painting. He thought he might start bringing in cupboards on Friday, but he was still without power from Wednesday's hellacious storms. He has a generator, but it does not generate enough power to run his house and his workshop. The weathermen say that it was a one in 500 year storm.
Yesterday's hook in was very nice. It didn't start out great for me. For whatever reason, my GPSs (2 of them!!!) would not direct me to the fairground venue and I failed to see the fairground sign attached to the church sign. I drove aimlessly for 20 minutes. Thankfully I left plenty early (6:20 am ~ argh!) so it wasn't an issue other than stressing me out. Sales were okay. I came home with cash in my pocket so that was good.
Halloween stuff is out in the stores in full force! Last year when I decided I wanted a 5' skeleton, it was too late to find one. I found this one at Home Depot the other day.
Only $40 ~ much cheaper than any others I have found. He will eventually be sitting out on my porch, but not until some time next month.
Amen to this!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
