Soooo close ~~~

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope your week went well for you.  It most certainly goes by fast these days.  The older you get, it sure does fly by.   The hook in was so nice and relaxing yesterday.  I didn't get there until close to noon.  I had some errands to run in the morning.  But I did settle down and put the hook to the foundation very shortly after I sat down.  I did stop at Dunkin Donuts on my way, and got myself a cup of coffee (thanks to Joanne for getting me hooked).  It is a cup of their coffee, but has 1/4 hot chocolate, and the rest coffee. No need for sugar or cream. The hot chocolate takes care of the sweetness. Mmmmm. 

Anyway, here is all I could get done. My hands gave out around 7:30. Just in time to order some pizza and have it delivered.  It was just Linda, Nancee and myself at this point. Great relaxing day!   Sooo close to being finished ~~



And Diane too.... soo close!




And Barb too!  I had asked her if she wanted this top that my Mil had and never finished hand quilting.  She did a wonderful job with it, and will give it to Angie to hang up. I'm so tickled to see it done :)



Didn't take too many pictures, and never did get a picture of the piece Nancee was working on. It's a small piece, but I'm "SURE" she will have it done by next week (oh heck, probably be done by tonight LOL)and will bring it back to show us. Will get a picture of it then. And Linda was hooking up some sheep with wool roving.. soo cute!

This morning I just couldn't resist taking a shot of this on my kitchen table.  Nothing Christmas"y"  about it, but soo pretty :).  Might just have to put something Christmas"y" around it to fit it in with the Season ~




I'm going to be cleaning today, and moving a desk out of the way to put our Christmas tree that we will be getting this weekend.  I want to bring up some decorations too and hopefully finish that. I won't be putting a whole lot out. Have really been going simple with it the past couple years. Weeding out pieces I no longer want and giving them to friends or family.  And if all goes well, I hope to get the wrapping done...  Lots planned to keep me busy! 

Wishing you All a wonderful weekend :)

I'm surprised at how far you've gotten in just a week. The rug looks great! Perfect colors.
The african violet sure helps bring a spot of cheer to the winter chill. They are one of my favorite houseplants.
Have a great week and a fun time at Linda's party!

I just met someone who is working on the Harvest rug as well. She omitted harvest and left in goode things, the opposit of what you are doing, lol. She is doing her's in mostly 10 cut I believe. You both are doing beautiful work!
