Yesterday was a flurry of activity around here...
lots of out of town shoppers stopping by the studio to buy wool for their
Fall & Winter hooking and stitching projects
...Wool Nesting inside...
Outside...a major...different kind of nesting project was underway...
the new roof was finally happening!
I love the color and texture of the new shingles...
the new gutters will be installed this week...red of course!
We couldn't be happier with the company and crew!
THANK YOU to all the lovely ladies who braved the construction zone to stock up on wool!
Once things quieted down around here I had a chance to lay out my plan for one of the army blankets I wrote about in the last post.
I've been sorting thru things here in the studio and came across some leftovers from and old make-and-take class we had at the old shop years ago...
On Scrapbasket Saturdays we made pin keeps...
these left over sunflower parts will somehow find their way onto my army blanket!
It's a bright, but chilly Saturday...after packing up some orders and a bit of cleaning
I'm looking forward to some stitching with wool!
Wishing you a bright and cheery Saturday ~L
Warm...cozy...scrumptious WOOL!
Perfect for all your holiday projects!
You'll find it here on the website at woolyredrug.com
These chilly nights got me thinking about the old Army blankets I found a while back at my favorite local haunt
Hunt and Gather
I think it is time to starting stitching on them...
just need to settle on a design...
stay tuned...I'll post on my progress!
May your day be filled with delight ~L
a very chilly morning here...
last night I covered up the mums to protect them...
cut and bundled the last of the mint...I hang bunches around the house...we love the fresh, crisp scent
brought in the last of the herbs...to enjoy thru the long winter...
Rosemary...my favorite...she didn't do so well this year
but I love her near my handwork chair...
a beauty in my Mother-in-law's old pot
Lavender...the true lady of the garden...
with our weird weather this year...this one never made it into the ground
...she will grace the studio with her sweet scent
...the kitchen window...
parsley, bay, thyme, aloe and
the stunning jade...
Nick brought it home in kindergarten...
a sad little sprig in a paper cup...
he's a senior this year...
how they both have grown...
...back outside to my fairy house
complete with tiny webs...naturally ready for Halloween
Mister Pine...greets visitors and watches over us
Thank you for visiting on this Chilly Autumn Day...
wishing you and yours all a bountiful, beautiful day ~L
Finally getting a chance to post a pic from the
Autumn Valley Hook-in
Sorry it is only a pic of my space before the doors opened
Once the hookers arrived I didn't get a chance to take anymore pics!
After unpacking and re-organizing part of the wool room in the studio...
Last week found me in the dye pots catching up on customer orders...
This week...great NEW wool will be arriving...
and I'm prepping for a few upcoming classes in the studio!
We are also anxiously awaiting our new roof and gutters...
Hopefully they will be here Friday...
keeping my fingers-crossed that the snowflakes that were falling this morning were just a teaser
and that the weather will be good for the roofers!
Have a GREAT week ~L
