First of all, thank you so much for all the comments and emails regarding my son J and his cancer diagnosis. If I haven't responded to you personally, it is because everyone is coming thru as a no-reply blogger and I don't have your email address. (I sure wish blogger would fix this issue!!!) His first round of chemo is behind him and though he doesn't feel great, he doesn't feel that bad . . . but they have told him each subsequent round gets worse.
I think there is only one time I have started my Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving, and this is the second time. The 28th is the latest that Thanksgiving can fall and it just adds too much pressure if I don't get a little done beforehand. Granted, I probably won't get much done, but something is better than nothing.
I refuse to put my turkeys away so have to decorate around them 😁
I gathered black walnuts from the park (the squirrels were kind enough to remove the husks) and made garlands. |

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 Armistice Day. It marks the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the allied nations entered a cease-fire with Germany, bringing an unofficial end to World War I.
Please remember, freedom isn't free and never take our freedom for granted!!! Take a moment and thank a veteran today. May God bless our soldiers.
So I am off for a quick little hooking get away with the Twenty Dollar Hookers in Millersburg. I haven't been for the last year and things have been so crazy for months, I am just driving down tomorrow morning and returning Saturday evening.
What am I going to work on??? Have I started to pack??? Of course not!
I did finish this little mat titled Nose to Nose by Baskets of Wool (Cammie Bruce) which is a Christmas gift. Maybe I can get started on the binding?
I most likely will take Yellow Bird, a pattern offered by Spruce Ridge Studios that I started in a class with Kris Miller. I haven't hooked on it in weeks.
I did hook this fun little flower. Other than that, no accomplishments to share 😞 Kit can be purchased from the Wooly Horse to make several of them.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am having a serious mojo issue. Maybe because I have been so busy for so many months, I am just lacking motivation. Halloween is put away and turkeys are out. I am off Friday and Saturday to Millersburg for the $20 Hookers. I haven't been in a year. I have several projects in progress, but haven't a clue what I will take to hook.
Some more of the rugs from the throw down. I didn't get pictures of all the rugs, but here are a few more to share.
May God smile upon America today.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Andy Warhol may not have coined the phrase "15 minutes of fame", but is is often associated with him because of his unique, genre-bending legacy as a celebrity artist. I now have my 15 minutes of fame 😁
Gabriella Moir has a You Tube channel called Cape on the Corner. She does videos of antique shows, shops and homes. I know her because her mom Karin is one of the first hookers I ever met 💖 Gabby made my house look so good!!! I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
