Arriving in the studio/shop soon

...just in time to celebrate our favorite season! Autumn is upon us...glorious NEW wool...Life is Good!

The wool has been added to the website and pre-orders are being taken!

My hook is HOT...I've been hooking non-stop in preparation for the Fall events...
and the final part of Grandma's Garden is almost ready to ship! Where do the years go?
Reminder...3rd Friday open studio hooking and/or stitching is tomorrow from 11 til 3...hope to see you! ~L

If you are in the area...

Sorry I've been away so long...mostly getting ready for the Autumn Valley Hook-in!

Promise to get back more regularly next week!

Happy Autumn!!! ~L

Textures...

Love'em!!! Lots of NEW wooly textures...and a few "oldies"...arrived a week ago! I've finally got the studio back together after the annual Spring hook-in...opps...no pictures...
Anyway...just got all the woolies added to the website!
Now busy hooking up some treasures for Shepherd's Harvest Wool and Sheep Festival on Mother's Day weekend.
This will be my 7th consecutive year at the festival! It's always a great time!!!

Cold and dreary here today...but thankfully no snow...just cold...a good day to hunker down with wool!
Still Looking for Spring, L

Just off the frame...

I'll be introducing my newest design "Pear Tree" at the Stillwater Hook-In in on October 2nd! Just need to finish the binding. This was supposed to be my entry for EAL's Holiday directory...but with all the changes around here, I didn't make the entry deadline.

The weather held for the yard sale this past weekend and I'm glad that is behind us. It's good to be pulling loops again...and I'm making progress on the last part of House Blessing...this year's rug project. One of the design challenges with this particular project is making all four parts play nice with each other! I'll try to get a pic to post in the next few days. Busy in the dyepots getting ready for hook-in...in between all the moving details...
Wishing you all a glorious week! ~L

PS...should have told you that the background, the tree wool and some of my golds and greens were over-dyed with black walnuts...love the way they age the colors!

Back up to speed...

HI ALL...
Finally back to a hi-speed internet connection after fussing around with dial-up for a few weeks! Hard to believe that the provider we've had for 10+ years is no longer offering it in our market! It's been a painful switch over...and the timing really bites...Not that there is ever a GOOD time for computer trouble?!?!?

Oh well...I'm muttling along and just happy to be back online at all!

This past Saturday was our annual Spring Hopkins Hook-in...

A lovely day! Unfortunately I never got a chance to see the rug show...or to take pics. If anyone was there and wants to send me photos, I'd love to post them here!

So...today I'll be putting the studio back togehter...cutting the Part Two kits of the House Blessing rug project and getting them in the mail by the end of the week!

Hope you all have a GREAT week!!! ~L
