The insanity called my life. Truth be told, I bring it upon myself 😖
I am co-chair of Crooked River's hook in. I feel my co-chair has done the bulk of the work and to make matters worse, my son's girlfriend's dad passed away a couple weeks ago and they are having a celebration of life this Saturday, late morning, the day of the hook in, and of course it is an hour+ away from the venue. (That sentence must be an English teacher's worst nightmare!) I am hoping I can make it to the hook in sometime early in the afternoon. On top of everything, I am also a vendor but thankfully have friends who will man the booth. (I guess I am not being woke . . . lol!)
This Thursday and Friday, Kris Miller (Spruce Ridge Studios), is teaching a 2 day class for the guild and of course I could not pass up such a great teacher. I have had her several times in the past and am looking forward to having her again. She tells THE BEST stories. The pattern I have chosen is different than I normally choose. It is a pattern by Ann Willey, offered by Kris, and titled Yellow Bird, measuring 24" x 32 1/4". I am going to wish I chose a smaller pattern . . . sigh.
So in addition to doing some odds & end for the hook in and getting items made for vending, I have also been working on consignment items for Kris' rug camp in October. Here are the pumpkins and snowguys I got done. They take much longer than they appear to take. (Ugh. Washed out colors as usual.)
AND!!! Last year since I was in the midst of my kitchen/bath remodel, I did not get my Halloween stuff out. I am currently knee deep in Halloween boxes. No one should have this many decorations.
Then the day after the hook in I volunteered to work a pug event for Ohio Pug Rescue, well over an hour away. I don't think I have been to a pug event since pre-Covid.
In a previous post I mentioned a family matter that had come up. A close family member went to the ER a couple weeks ago with what was thought to be a kidney stone and left a few days later with a probable cancer diagnosis. Surgery was performed yesterday and now it's the waiting game to find out the biopsy results. Please keep this family member in your prayers.
