NEW MAT AND A PROJECT ~ ~ ~










My friend, Heather, hooked this Jane Augenstein pattern. It's her second rug and I'm very proud of my student! She took home a new pattern that I drew for her ~ can't wait to see how it progresses!










This afternoon I made Miss Luci a pillowcase ~ she picked the material several weeks ago but it takes Grandma a while to get motivated! Also made one for Luke! Now I'll need to make pillowcases for the rest of the grands!

We had a nice afternoon ~ school starts next week so our fun days will be over. When they have days off from school, we'll make a plan.

Summer's coming to it's end ~ it went so fast!

Hope you're enjoying your summer!

FUN PARTY ~ ~ ~




This weekend, friends Kit and Bill invited us to attend the Port Clinton Yacht Club annual pig roast!  The entertainment was the Island Doctor and he was checking out Kit's heart ~ she appears to be just fine!


Friends Diane and Greg went, too ~ we had lots of laughs for sure!


This is Mr. Kitty helping with office work this past week!  Doesn't he look sweet? He loves the printer and jumps right up there to watch it run.  A couple of years ago, he jammed up my printer with his paw and I had to get a new one.  This one is paw proof!

We also went to a very lovely brunch at the Catawba Island Club for our friend, Karen's birthday!  There were eleven of us and what a great time we had!

I haven't been blogging very much ~ hard to get back to it but I'm trying.  We've had a busy summer and a little cataract surgery thrown in.  We didn't get to our lake haven in June until the last week ~ two weddings, a show that we did, and a trip to Seattle for Sonny and Brian to work on my son's new/old house!  I haven't hooked a loop in I don't know when,  but trying to get back to it. And getting back to blog reading!

Hopefully, there are still some readers left ~ I appreciate those that commented yesterday ~ you let me know I'm not alone!

Have a great day ~ the weather is beautiful here in Ohio!

I've been in the dye pots all week getting ready for the Western Reserve Hook-in next Saturday!


My booth at the From Our Hands show a couple of weeks ago.


It was a great show focused on needle arts and related antiques. Lori Corelis and Rebekah Smith are wonderful show promoters ~ I was glad to be in their midst!!


The trillium is done now ~ I love wildflowers!

We 're off to a fun lake weekend ~ going to Kelley's Island tomorrow ~ A combination of business and pleasure! I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend!
