Thanksgiving Blessings...

There are so many things I'm thankful for...family...friends...and you my loyal followers! Thanks for sticking with me here in this year of changes! No move news yet...and that's OK! Looking forward to spending the holiday's here!

Before the holiday rush begins, I've been busy drawing up patterns. Normally I don't release the year's project rug pattern til the following January. But with the impending move and not knowing exactly how that will all play out...I thought it best to get them out NOW! I know many of you have been waiting since the kits sold out so fast this year.

I really appreciate your interest in my work! If you would like to order the linen pattern you can do so on the website by clicking here
And...lots of new designs will be coming out in 2011!

Wishing you all an Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting back to business...

I hate being behind...but once again...I am.
The studio/shop move behind me...I've abandoned the remaining piles of miscellaneous clutter...tho' ignoring them is really difficult for me! This week I'm catching up on orders and most importantly finishing up on Part 3 of House Blessing, the 2010 Project Rug. For all you very dear, patient participants...the kits should be ready and in the mail next week!

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement, well wishes and kind comments during these stress filled past 2 months...I'm so happy to have everything under one roof and look forward to welcoming you if you are in the neighborhood! ~L

Part Two of House Blessing

I'm working on getting the kits together!!!
Everyone who is paticipating in the 2010 Rug Project should have received an email or 2 from me this morning!

Here's a peek at Part's One & Two...the right side and bottom border are part of the 4th section to come in October. I just needed to hook 'em to gauge how much wool...and know my limit on kits for this year's project.
Which leads me to say...going...going...there are only TWO spots left...and once they are gone...that's it!Sorry, ALL GONE! as of Thursday April 22nd

I'll be updating the website later tonite with this info too. If you are interested in knowing how this annual rug prject thingy works...click on over the the webpage...

Spring has sprung ~L

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

Quick Update...

...the day is getting away from me...so I'll be back later to chat...
but I wanted to get this pic up for those interested in the color plan for the 2010 rug. Click on the pic for a larger view! Hope you like Part One!

Progress on House Blessing...

it's coming along...and I hope to have Part One hooked by the weekend so I can get the kits together and out in the mail next week...That is STILL January...right?

I've had a few inquiries about the color plan so I thought I'd post a pic here. I also plan to post regular updates on this years rug project. And maybe even share some of the participants rugs if they will send me photos!

I'm done in the dyepots for the week and will be drawing out the patterns tomorrow after my ThursDAY class leaves. Hope to hook a bit tomorrow evening at our Thursday evening group and really make progress on Friday.

I'm enjoying this one...and hope you will too!
