Blog Hop Winners...

...and a HUGE THANKS for everyone who stopped for a visit and to those who left comments!

It is always nice to hear from followers...and so great to meet so many NEW wool lovers.
I'm totally humbled by your kind words...
and hope you will visit often.

Today...I'm nearing the end of the rug I need to have ready for a deadline this week.
Then it is on to getting ready for the Autumn Valley Hook-in in Stillwater, MN next Saturday...

I promise once things settle down here...wink...I will post more about my process in rug hooking!
I was surprised to read all the comments of those who aren't familiar with it...or are just starting their rug hooking journey.

Now...for what you all have been waiting for...
Drum Roll...
Congratulations to
Patti at Winding Vine Wanderings
and Kathy in Ozarks at Kathyinozarks Pages
I've sent you both private emails and once I receive your mailing addresses your wooly bundle will be on the way!

Have a great day ~ L

I hope you will spend some time poking around here on the blog

Before we jump into the wooly craziness…

I want to wish my Mom a Happy 83rd Birthday!!!
She taught me the love of handwork…
…Mommie, I love you more than words can say!

When Denise asked me to be part of the blog hop I wasn’t sure what I was getting into…
But…Crazy About Wool pretty much describes the typical day in my studio!

This is Part One…
