Meeting Myself Coming and Going ~

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think retirement could be this busy!!!  I wish I didn't need to sleep but I am one of those persons who needs at least 7-8 hours a night.  Preferably more, though I rarely get it.

First off I want to let everyone know Harper is doing great and bonding with new mom.  Harper has already learned to use the doggie door and made a brief attempt to play with her bulldog sister Ethel.  Oh, that does my heart good.  The house is so quiet, but just not a good time to get another foster.

Monday I went and visited friends Sue and Sheila.  We did hook-y stuff and drooled over Sheila's rugs!  It may be a good thing they don't live closer because we could probably get in lots of trouble together.

Both Sue and Sheila are participating in Saundra's hook along.  They got their pattern on linen.  Mine is already done, but I may change the center hearts.  I have not yet pulled any wools 😖  Sadly no time for hooking.  I believe my pattern is about 33" x 22".

I am crazy busy trying to make "things" for a consignment order that will be taken to a rug camp in a few weeks for the camp store.  Kris graciously takes my items each year.  Every bit helps supports my hooking and antiquing habits.

Monday DSO and I are heading to western Massachusetts for a few day get away.  I am hoping we will see some fall color!  I am also getting together with Nancy for lunch and a trip to Woolen Memories.  Nancy and I have been blog friends for many years . . . and I have hooked 2-3 of Woolen Memories patterns.  You can find Woolen Memories on Etsy here.

The following week I will be heading to southern Ohio for a few days of hooking fun.  Perhaps then I can start on my hook along rug!

This morning's walk was a bit chilly, but the day will warm up nicely.  I would love fall if winter did not follow.  This guy was hopping from stone to stone not far from the shore.

Isn't this a hoot?  I had pulled the hose to the opposite side of the sidewalk and this is what I ended up with.  Honest Abe?

Better get started on my day!  In addition to making a few things, I really want to attack the dust bunnies so I can come home to a half way clean house.  I know that darn cleaning lady won't show up while I am gone 😡

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
