Happy 4th ~

~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA ~

I hope your 4th is even better than imagined :)  We had cookouts Saturday & Sunday with fireworks on Sunday.  It has been a perfect holiday weekend.  Today is pretty low key ~ just what I needed.  Did a little hookin', a little yard work, spent a little time with my sweetie.  Heaven.

Last night we had another breathtaking sunset.  Simply amazing colors.

Totally coincidence, but here's what I'm hooking this Independence Day.  Never even thought about it when I was drawing up the pattern the other day.  I've punched this once and this is my third time hooking it.  Just a fun little pattern.  Not using worms this time, though I should be.  Hooked mostly in an 8 1/2 cut (my current favorite size . . . subject to change, of course) it's about 13" in diameter.

I am in love with this blue wool.  Purchased from Rebecca Erb, it's her coverlet blue.  I've had it since it came out, but it's the first time I've hooked with it and it won't be the last.  I only bought a half yard so I think I'd better search out some more.  I also purchased the red and green and haven't hooked with those yet, but I'm sure they will be just as wonderful.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Breathtaking Sky ~

Last night's sky over Ohio's north coast absolutely took your breath away.  So much more beautiful than a picture can ever capture (especially my pictures . . . sigh).  The first three pictures were taken from DSO's upper balcony.  He lives in the former American Ship Building shipyard.  The water you see was a dry dock where they built 1000' ore carriers.  After the ship was completed, the dry dock was flooded and the ship sailed to Lake Erie which is just a short distance north.  You can read more about it here.

Just a gorgeous holiday weekend and even better since it's a three day :)  Time to do a bit of yard work, a never ending job. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.
