Hooking and some finishes~

Had a great time at Grant Street Woolworks yesterday. Just sorry it wasn't more full with people. Never a dull moment even for just a few people. I was determined to get some work done this time and I did! I was able to finish one complete circle mat and then start on another one. I was finished with the second one after dinner last night. Here is the one I did while I was there. They are almost 9". Linda had gotten some gourds from Meadowbrook gourds and boy are they sweet! Linda loves them too lol. And then Linda needs to be Linda! Love her tooth LOL.....
Sherry was there and I think she was ignoring us. Nah, just working hard!
And it's coming out really nice. She's working on a snowman as a gift for Christmas. Never too early to start!

Pat was also there and we had a great time chatting. Her gameboard rug is turning out really nice. Hope to get a shot of it next week~ Doris couldn't make it. She has a pulled muscle in her leg. Wishing you a speedy recovery Doris!! Make sure you rest!

I was going to cut off the circles from the foundation today to whip, but I have some extra room on there that I will make some small hooked bowl filler pillows before I cut it apart. Will get to that soon after I'm done here. Spent the morning finishing up on tagging the items I have done for the show so far. And also finished framing this pn piece that I will put in the Fair next week. Might even try to sell it at the show. Hard one to decide on! This is a freebie pattern from Betty Dekat over on PrimitiveBettys called Falling Leaves. I wasn't sure what to do with the frame. It was just a soft stain to begin with. So I just re-stained it using a wash of an acrylic paint. I like the way it turned out. Need to keep moving, or else I'll end up sitting again and getting nothing done. The weekend will be kind of full as well. My husbands work is having an outing for employees and their families. Hoping to get some more stuff done after that is over. Sunday afternoon I will go to the Fair to help out with registration. Can't wait to see all the entries for this year. I help out in the needlework section. How great is that???
Wishing everyone a great weekend!~ Keep using your hands.....
