A lovely day...

Warm sunshine was pouring in the studio windows today...
a perfect late summer day!

Maggie Bonanomi's NEWest book...
Thistle Down Moon

There are still copies available on the website and you can preview the index there too.
Maggie never disappoints us...it is another fabulous book with 19 prim projects!

I've been enjoying Jill Peterson's newest book
They Make DO
It's perfect to curl up with a cup of tea after along day!
You can see this one on the website, too.

Bolts and bolts of gorgeous wool will be arriving soon...



The 3rd Part of Primitive Medallions is in the works! I'm working hard to get these out in the mail next week!


Tomorrow is 3rd Friday Open Studio Hooking/Stitching!
it will be great to see all the regulars again...it's been such a crazy summer around here and I have missed everyone so much!

More SNOW...

It really is getting old...
another half foot this morning...then...glorious sunshine...
which of course gives way to sub-zero temps after the sun goes down:(

Between dye pots, I've been working on a rug for a client in North Carolina...just a peek at
...a goose


and one of the rabbits


I've also tackled a major project I've had on my "to-do" list for a long, long time!
It feels SO GOOD to have it finished!...
I finally updated the Off the Bolt...As-Is Wool pages on the website
They are now sorted by color to make shopping and browsing easier.
Seems like the website is ALWAYS a work in progress...more for another snowy day!

Stay safe and warm ~L

Wooly Red Rug Giveaway...

Good Day My Friends...
The heat and humidity have finally retreated...and like many of you...I'm in an Autumn mood...
I've spent the past two weeks working on the new website and I think it's time to take a break and CELEBRATE!

It's been a real learning experience...I was so comfortable with the way the old site worked...and I still have a lot more to put up...but I think the new place is looking pretty good.

The hardest part was getting the old web address to forward to the new...What should have been an easy process was complicated by unknown forces and had me totally freaked out! Thanks to Victoria at the domain name company...for finally finding the glitch!

I feel like a year ago we opened Pandora's Box...and am a bit weary and wondering...what next?
So...to put those thoughts aside...and to CELEBRATE...staying in Minneapolis...the new woolyredrug.com website...and all the blessings each day brings...I'm having a GIVEAWAY!

What's the prize...well WOOL...of course! A bundle of my hand-dyeds...a fat 1/8th each of Boo Black, Mushroom, Old Brown, Leaf Green, Maple Leaf and Mustard...plus a couple great Autumn textures...that's a yard of fun wool for hooking or stitching! Some Gentle Arts "Simply Wool" threads and a few other goodies, too!

You'll get your name thrown in the pot for...
1...Leave a comment here on the blog
2...Spread the word...post this on your blog or facebook...
3...Check out the new website...www.woolyredrug.com and leave a comment in the Guest Book...

That's 3 ways to enter...if you do all 3...that's 3 chances to win...
Please be sure to leave an email address, if you don't have a blog, so I can contact you if you are the winner!
The drawing will be held on the evening of August 13th!
Best of luck...and thanks so much stopping by...L
