BUSY WEEKEND!

Hello & Happy Sunday

Friends & Folk!

it has been one crazy weekend for sure ~

first, having to bring our beloved Buddy in for emergency surgery on Friday…

his diagnosis is cancer-free! woo hoo! 

our heartfelt thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts ~

he is feeling fine and on the mend :)

'twas a nerve-wracking, heart-wrenching time for Peter & I ~

especially since Peter had to bring Buddy to the vet's by himself 

…..while I was at Rug Fest.

but all is well now :)

Buddy-boy

…... and what a time it was at Rug Fest!

Mary Henck and her group of friends does such a wonderful job 

at putting this show together for us!!

THANK YOU MARY!!!!

Hi Everyone!  ~ Hi ROBIN M. !!

a beautiful mess!!! ~ busy busy busy :)

wool dust was flyin' !!

and onto the rug show itself…

this is the part where I get crazy and snap 10000000000's of photos,

BUT to keep you all some-what sane 

& still interested in continuing on,

I'll only share a few ~

the rugs below were hooked by Jennifer Ruddewig,

of my 'Trick or Treat' and 'Smell my Feet' designs 

(adapted for me by Spruce Ridge Studios)

Jen REALLLY went out of the box on these ~
they are hooked with chenille, ribbon, velvet, old stockings and sparkly-fabrics…
she embellished them with costume jewelry,  and other "dimensionals"
FABULOUS!!!!!! 

 the following rugs were hung in the 'gallery'…

there are SO many that it's hard to get the names of all of the hookers/designers,

IF you are the hooker/designer of the rug, please know that I mean no disrespect 

and your wok is truly beautiful!!!

such detail in this rug ~

fun design!!

I do know this loooong runner was hooked by Miss Pat Cross ~
((and anytime you want to get tired of it Miss Pat... you know where to find me!))

striking against the black background ~

sweeet :)

my Goode Witch rug
(( ~ pls. forgive me for forgetting who you are…email me and I will add your name!
saw so many folks yesterday that my head is still spinning!

beautiful chicken rug!!!
(i know this was hooked by Jen also)

Debra Henkel ~ beautiful design!! beautiful person!!

this is a masterpiece hooked through wool….stunning in person.

you all know how I love Hallowe'en ~ so of course this tickled me!

This rug…..this rug is absolutely breathtaking. I am including it here to remind us all
that when you hook a rug, there are no rules!!!!!

can you see the SIZE of the rug on the floor?
H U M O N G O U S and beautiful…...

this gentleman-hooker was working on a most loverly mermaid…
with sparkly wools blended in here and there. awesome.

AND

this hooker below….

what can I say?

nothing but trouble.

(hugs to you my friend!)

she's always pointing at me when I snap her photo.
she's a hot mess!!!!!
and in the background we can see miss Robin M. working hard on her rug
using one of our Hookinpunch© Frames!

HOOKERS ROCK!

Thanks to all for making our day so special…

see you next year (hopefully sooner)

Have a beautiful day my Friends ~ going to play in my new wools today :)
