Packed ~

 

Anyone who has read my blog for a while, knows that I am a master procrastinator and always wait until the last minute to pack when getting out of Dodge.  Well . . . tomorrow I am heading to the southwest corner of Ohio with three hookers to the Spring Fling ~ a two day hook in.  No teacher, just hooking fun.  Here it is only 4:30 in the afternoon and I am packed except for the last minute things I will need to throw in the bags in the morning.  I think this is a record.  The new me?  I highly doubt it 😁

Head on over to Sue's blog to see the rug she will be hooking and the rug she will probably be starting soon.  She is fast hooker!

Have you ever made an allspice garland?  I made a few that I will be taking when I vend in a couple weeks.  They are crazy expensive to buy but after making them, I can understand why.  An allspice is smaller than a pea.  Even after soaking them for hours, they are pretty tough to stick a needle thru.  Let me just say my thumb is pretty darn sore from all the needle pricks.  A friend used a skinny drill bit to make the hole.  I think I need to try that next.  They do smell darn good!


Thanks so much for stopping by!  
I'll be back upon my return.  Hopefully I'll even take a few pictures.
Pug hugs 😊

Have fun at the hook-in.
