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 :)

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
 |
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!!!
