That's Entertainment ~

OK…

some of you say that I'm 'energetic', or 'lively'…

{I'll give you that.}

but I received a few photos from friend Pat Cross this morning, 

that she thought I should post here

to show the 'real' me 

interacting with what she calls my 'audience' 

at the show on Saturday…

I can't help the way I get when I'm out & about with folks ~

especially folks that share the same love for handmade items & needlework-things…

I just get so excited to see you!

so here goes,

hopefully these will entertain you a bit:

yack yack yack…pack pack pack.

"oh little Town of Bethlehem"…oh wait. I wasn't singing!

"blah blah blah & then some…."
{why Miss Joan ~ you look bewildered!}

"that's my story & I'm sticking' to it…"

wow ~ I look like a fish….
...wonder what I was talking about at that moment?
~ oh! I think it was blending valdani & dmc threads.

ANYHOO…

thanks Pat & Tom ( I think) for the snaps…

was so good to see you both at the show!

~~~~~~~~~~~::~~~~~~~~~~

here is the little heart & hand mat I was hooking on at the show,

all finished up.

I didn't really have a lot of time at the show to hook on it,

... but I brought it with me to show how I use my Hookinpunch© frame.

hand-cut & #8 cut strips on linen…

just something to keep my hands busy :)

looks like a stained-glass window?

and after seeing Rebekah L. Smith's

MOST-AWESOME woolies & applique, 

I decided to humor myself into thinking I could do the blanket stitch…

I can do it, but just not as good as she ~

practice practice!!!

I prefer to use a whip-stitch and thin linen thread…

what do you think?

Ok, it is a C O L D one out there today ~

only in the 30's with a wind-chill of who knows what.

the chickens are laying ice cubes!

I have a big pot of spaghetti sauce bubbling on the wood stove, 

~ and am UNdecorating for Hallowe'en…

now it's time to pull out Christmas!!!!

~ hoping you all have a snuggly day ~

* Blessed be *
