♥ Family Time...

Heading off for some family fun in Duluth...
It will be good to beat this heatwave we've been having by spending some time on Lake Superior...
Be back soon...
Hope you have a GREAT weekend! ~Laurie

♥ A Sampler...Update

Just finshed hooking Part Three...love how this year's rug project is coming along!
Now to cut all the kits and get them in the mail in July! If you are interested in joining in on the project...there are only 4 left...once they're gone...they're gone!
I will however have the linen pattern available in January 2010!


After house chores today...I'm hoping to have sometime to pick up my rooster rug that has been patiently waiting...gonna have to change the date in the corner! I REALLY want this finished and down in the kitchen...something cushy under my toes while I do the never ending dishes!


I'm also itching to start on a NEW design I drew up a few weeks ago. Flower Power will be a new pattern offered in 2010. ooooh 2010....doesn't that sound strange????
More on this one soon...

For those of you curious about the "stars" in the previous post...I can't say too much or show the entire mat yet...hopefully in a few weeks, I'll be able to! Thanks for your interest...hope you all have a GREAT weekend...hug your Father if you can!

Happy Flag Day...

Seeing "stars" lately...
Lots of things that all need to be done...NOW...so being here has taken a back seat.
Hopefully...some lazy days of summer are just around the corner...

♥ A NEW Look...

I finally got around to updating the ad that I run in several magazines. I’d been running the same one for the past 8 years...and altho’ I liked it...and it “worked”...it was definitely time for a change! The June issues of Rug Hooking Magazine arrived at the studio a few days ago and I’m thrilled with seeing it in print! The August issues of Create & Decorate arrived today...and I think it looks good there too! The July issues of The Wool Street Journal should be arriving in a few weeks...
I hope you’ll look for “my happy place” when you are browsing thru these GREAT magazines!

I’ve been working on several special projects...some for donations for silent auctions...


some for future opportunities....


The next few days I’ll be trying to get caught up with orders...lots of dyeing to do!
The weather as been just beautiful the past few weeks...perfect for dyeing...tho’ we are desperately in need of rain...I’m not complaining...70’s are just fine with me!


Only a few more days til summer vacation starts...I won’t miss the phrase...is your homework done?!?!?! And it will be fun having Nick hang out at the studio...he’s growing up SO fast!

Hope you are enjoying your “almost” summer days ~ L
