Sunny September Sunday...

What a glorious day!
The leaves are starting to turn...and the smell of woodsmoke warms my heart.

I put this bouquet together yesterday...

a sweet treat that makes me smile!

When I got back from taking Dad to church,
I started in on finishing orders to go out in the morning mail.

I'm itching to get the models and patterns finished for my 1st release in the Hilda Thornbroom Series.

There just aren't enough hours in my day...
my mind is so far a head of my hands;)
Hopefully it will all come together in time to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox:)
Wishing all lovely last days of summer ~Laurie

Finally…the 2015 Studio Calendar is available!

Silly me…I thought that being an empty nester would open up all sorts of time, ha!
The year is not off to the start I had hoped for…and I know that this will disappoint many of the “studio hookers”. I’m sorry, but as they say, “it is what it is”. I’ve come to terms with that and most days am dealing with the chaos quite well.

You will find the studio calendar button on the bottom of the left side bar of the webpage,
or on mid way down on the right side bar of this blog.

Once you get there you'll see this...

Events will also be posted on the Facebook Studio Page. There are links to sign up to reserve a chair for open studio days on the calendar. Using the sign up sheets makes it much easier for me to know how to plan. If you are having trouble email me. ♥ ~ Laurie

Fall is in the air today

...Yay! Just a reminder that there is NO Open Studio Hooking Group tomorrow. Catching up with family stuff in these last few weeks before school starts.
I've also been moving things around in the studio in hopes of making it more comfortable for our gatherings...still cozy...and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in September!
The studio is always open by appointment, so just give a call if you want to come over...the wool room is awesome!
Until then... ~L

in the beginning...

...of a new project...
don't you just love starting something new???
so many possibilities...
sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming...too many choices?!?

I'm starting a new pillow project
...a gift for a family gathering at the end of the month
...I call these memory pillows...
photos, phrases or such...wool...and stitching
AND...I'm obsessed with them;)

I doubt the recipient of this piece reads my ramblings here...
so I will be back soon with pics of my process
...maybe you would like to stitch along! ~L
