If I'd just stay home ~

 . . . maybe I could get more done on my very long to-do list!!!  

Tuesday was my monthly Soup & Pie get together an hour and a half from home.  And yes, we get fed soup and pie by the ever-so-gracious Andrea of Elderberry Marsh.

Today I attended a hook in put on by my favorite rug shop.  Wool heaven.  Here are pictures of the vendor booths.

Teresa's Prim Treasures


The Wooly Horse



Traveling Woodbury Wools


Because of Ewe

Kiddle-de-Divey Wools

Although I had no intentions of buying any wool (yeah right!), I came home with about 7 yards of wool.    How can a hooker resist $10 a yard bolt wool?  I know I couldn't.  One yard was a gift from Sue who won a door prize of six yards of the sale wool.


Tomorrow another trek an hour plus away for the Hook & Thread Society bi-monthly get together.  I am so fortunate to be able to do what I do.  Ohio is truly a hooking mecca.

One evening DSO and I went to an exhibit downtown Cleveland at the Western Reserve Historical Society.  Then yesterday two hookers from southern Ohio who were attending the hook in stopped by for a couple hours and then off to dinner with them.

WHEW!!!

One of these days I will show progress on my camp rug from January!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Ohio i s also an antique prim show mecca. Sometimes I wish I lived in your state. Soup and pie sounds wonderful and I would have came home with wool myself. Janice

That sounds like a very fun week and the best part is most things on a to-do list will wait for you.

No way I could have resisted $10/yd for off the bolt wool. I'd have brought home yardage also.

I don't have that much social fun in a year...and I'm being completely serious. Envious as I am of your adventures, I couldn't handle it. Great deal on the wool; of course it had to come home with you. And, of course, sign me up for soup any day. Pie isn't a favorite of mine unless it has a graham cracker crust. ;-)

I know I couldn't resist all that beautiful wool and great price. Love the plush, thicker ones, those will be great to work with.
