Good Afternoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such a gloomy windy day here today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are awaiting the rain that is on it's way for the next 3 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever have days where you get up and then things happen and you wish you would have stayed in bed?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, my day seems to be going in that direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I emptied a pot of hot wool and water into a bucket and was trying to be careful but the wool slipped out a little faster than expected and splashed the hot water on my right leg and left foot. I may or may not have a small burn on my foot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dork with a capital D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been doing lots of drawing for the shop and shows we have coming up but yesterday I ran out of linen so decided to dye wool today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been in the kitchen the whole time while the pots are stewing and then I heard this noise. YEP, one the pots boiled over. Pretty sure the back of my stove in now a blueish purple color. Really?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Update on my projects from the last post.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave this heart to mom for Valentine's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used scraps and a size 9 cut then stuffed it with Lavender. I secretly stuck it in her basket that she uses for hooking. It took a couple of days but she finally saw it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a project I started last April. All I have left for the most part is the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the D for Dork part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dyed the background and only dyed 1/2 yd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHY? I have no idea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I have to try and figure out what I did and match the wool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil5yt91tWRdjbUtbjW52PLw5gLcTxtKwhqvh6BmEc0d5gi1wWsN1H8V9Qx7Renpa-Jk5Ns8ZSzUfpwhfRjfVzip-8KXWCrsiw7jBWCMFp9Qc9Pn8-vdv-4lcNWGF4LdVZ-6A7AjhBPm7c/s1600/untitled-2-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil5yt91tWRdjbUtbjW52PLw5gLcTxtKwhqvh6BmEc0d5gi1wWsN1H8V9Qx7Renpa-Jk5Ns8ZSzUfpwhfRjfVzip-8KXWCrsiw7jBWCMFp9Qc9Pn8-vdv-4lcNWGF4LdVZ-6A7AjhBPm7c/s320/untitled-2-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was only given a small amount of the faded red wool and I have decided to do the entire flag in that red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem is I have no idea what the wool is. I have tried just about every color combination that I can think of. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a tan yet red color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as of right now this project is on hold until I can figure out the dye for the red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure today is the day to work on that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's my update folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing spectacular to speak of.......just a lot of dorkness going on at my house. ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thought I would show you the progress on 2 of the projects that I have going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhYIrWA6uLKRiYNn-mVBMy1q9eJzA2G8ahO6fLBvO8qO732CLejbW7wZyNrJoJTPnR_W74QLUkvueHoeXIrpVqH79geeNsOR-Nw3Ze2rj3PCvhWd7T1so3-lxVs8yD-nN_TkXe5UYNiDQ/s1600/untitled-2-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhYIrWA6uLKRiYNn-mVBMy1q9eJzA2G8ahO6fLBvO8qO732CLejbW7wZyNrJoJTPnR_W74QLUkvueHoeXIrpVqH79geeNsOR-Nw3Ze2rj3PCvhWd7T1so3-lxVs8yD-nN_TkXe5UYNiDQ/s320/untitled-2-12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my own design. Everything is hooked but the background. The background of the rug is a flag. The difficulty that I am having is the dramatic difference in strip size. I believe I hooked some of the detail in a #3 and the background is a #9. I'm not sure where my height is suppose to be on my loops. The #9 cut overwhelmes the #3 cut, but I am moving forward......right or wrong. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Woolens" is a new design we have in the shop. It was a quick and easy project. I hooked the sheep using 1 strip of wool and yarn. The yarn gave the sheep some interesting texture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The legs, face and ear are hooked with leftover velvet that I had. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background is a #9 cut.......my new favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apologize for the words going through the design. It is a little harder to see. I have been updating the web site and I have been trying to put our name on the pattern so it's not as easy to steal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dye pots are going this morning and while the wool is cooking I am headed to the studio to try and clean up a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have 2 big shows in April and I am working on drawing and dying so we will be ready to go. I would like to think I would be caught up but I know better than that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Hooking! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I see it has been almost a year ago that I wrote a post. I am going to try and do a better job this year. I am hoping posting will make me more accountable on my MANY projects that are in the works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day I was sitting in my family room hooking and looked around the room realizing that I had FIVE projects going...... REALLY? That's not even the projects in my studio. YIKES, think I have an issue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to post on the progress so I will make myself a little more accountable. I hope this will speed up the progress of these projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, without further ado here are the five projects that I have going:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The heart is going to be a Valentine's Day gift. Shouldn't be an issue to finish that up. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rendition of an antique rug that I have been working on. The plan is to finish up the other 4 projects and then begin this one again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFsIWe-tUJq8Z4WN-Fo0Yw5neB6XRXxEn1oAYcwYL2oc9asZokESK_xLrYijtACneGLkGSExg0uZuHKMj2T6gbjU45SEsuo-X_pSlwnjlBgOSszFMxVm17PCbZS927e0wmAkvVDrVqKK0/s1600/untitled-2-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFsIWe-tUJq8Z4WN-Fo0Yw5neB6XRXxEn1oAYcwYL2oc9asZokESK_xLrYijtACneGLkGSExg0uZuHKMj2T6gbjU45SEsuo-X_pSlwnjlBgOSszFMxVm17PCbZS927e0wmAkvVDrVqKK0/s320/untitled-2-4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project is for the shop and is called "Woolens". It isn't a very big mat and should progress quickly. (fingers crossed)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project I started in June of last year. This one is for me. Actually, one of the kids have already "claimed" it. The goal is one person a week. The background will be a piece of cake......easy hooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as you can see I have many irons in the fire but hope to get these finished up in the next couple of months. I am making myself hook a little bit each day. Usually that leads to more hooking. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till next time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a very long time since I last wrote.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has taken me on a journey that I hadn't planned on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share my latest rug. I just finished it late this afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's called "Forever True" a 32" round and retails for $80.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This rug is so full of memories for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I designed it late June/early July 2015. I was feeling very patriotic as my second son, Sam was in the middle of his BMT (basic military training) in San Antonio, Texas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 years prior son Drew was going through the same process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Drew was at BMT I made a dye formula called "Dress Blues". This rug is hooked using that particular recipe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We unexpectedly lost Drew on July 25 of this year when he was on active duty in Guam. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hooked this as we traveled over the last 7 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a bittersweet rug in that it has happy and sad memories but a rug that I will ALWAYS cherish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Hooking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cherish Every Day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life seems to be taking my family on a journey that we never expected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We learned on Sunday that Natalie's boyfriend unexpectedly passed away at the age of 22.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was in perfect health (he was an athlete) and died in his sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He would have soon been a member of our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 deaths in 9 weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were just starting to put the pieces back together and now this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm clinging to "this is all part of God's plan" through gritted teeth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps soon I will be able to catch up and write "good news"?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As most of you are aware I haven't been posting anything on the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just got off the phone with Apple support and I think all is well?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fingers crossed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love electronics when they work but get easily frustrated when they don't. If I understood things a little bit better I'm sure I wouldn't get as frustrated. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because the latest download of software is so new blogger doesn't recognize it yet and therefore I was unable to get pictures put on my posts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are like me I like to look at pictures and not words. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is just a small recap of what's been going on in my life these days:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Graduation! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My last one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It still hasn't sunk in just yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our second, Natalie graduated from BVU in Storm Lake. She is enrolled in the Creighton Accelerated Nursing program and will begin there in August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drew is currently in Guam. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has a 1 month tour on the base there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is working on planes and learning what Typhoons are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jenny is getting ready for a trip to Europe with the UWF volleyball team as the Graduate Assistant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sam is at basic training in San Antonio, Tx. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He will graduate in mid August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say that my summer has been crazy is an understatement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems the front door is constantly revolving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just when I adjust to being home alone for a few days someone comes back home while another is leaving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Empty nesting hasn't sunk in yet but I think that's because nothing is constant yet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise to do a better job blogging now that my electronics are working!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Hooking!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Evening!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want everyone to know that I am fully aware of my absence from blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When something has to give it this blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been struggling with writing and busy with life in general.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom and I will be in Newton the next 4 days taking a class from Nola Heidbreder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited I can hardly stand it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these 4 days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get to focus on being creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will post pictures as the days roll along so you can see what we are working on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are closed at the shop Monday thru Thursday of this week due to the fact that we are gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Hooking!</div>

We taught a class on Saturday to a mother, daughter-in-law and granddaughter who is 6 soon to be 7 next month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a fun day and they all picked up on it very quickly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's very rewarding to teach someone the love of rug hooking.</div>

I drew Ella a circle and showed her a couple of examples of what I thought she should do. At first she rejected my ideas and her mom's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started with writing her name and let her pick some worms from my worm basket and left her alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before we knew it Ella had covered her entire circle with motifs that she could relate to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were a tad small but we went with it anyway. ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad is recovering from his shoulder replacement surgery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is starting to feel better so it's getting harder to keep him down and resting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, I believe he was in his shop sanding this morning when he couldn't sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sanding was NOT on the PT list of exercises! </div>

Dave brought us treats from the local bakery TASTE.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sitting in the lobby of the Methodist Hospital as I write this post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad is having a shoulder replacement done this morning. He has been in a lot of pain and Mayo's was able to get him in within a week. It has taken us all a little by surprise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are stopping by the shop today we are closed as I am sitting with mom while dad is under the knife.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Mom was with dad yesterday I got a few projects finished up so thought I would share those photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Above is our snowman mat. He needs a name. Any suggestions? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is mom's version and she finished hooking it over the weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I personally think it's one of her best projects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how she added the trim on the scarf and flower on the hat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He retails for $38.00</div>

These 2 projects are kits in the shop that we have for purchase. See the website for further info.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top photo is a sampler by The Pinkeep, Linda Theran.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the above project into a pillow and twisted floss from the project for a small trim around the outside.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was hoping to have 1 more to show you but unfortunately I sewed the velvet on wrong!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if I am leaving it or if I can get it ripped out without destroying the needlework.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't you love it when you do dumb things? I was so disgusted with myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, life goes on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thought I would share just a few pictures from our trip to Salt Lake City for my sister-in-laws inauguration ceremony.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were treated like kings and queens.<br />
Upon arrival we received a gift basket in our room.<br />

We each received a piece of clothing (chosen specifically for us) from SLCC, 2 bottles of beer brewed in SLCC, candy and a hand written note.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How fun was that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took a tour of the campus and much to our surprise we saw my SIL's picture all over campus. We thought it would be fun to add a little mustache but we refrained. :)</div>

The luncheon was served in a beautiful room over looking the campus. If you look close you can see a small easel at each place setting. We all received a special painting on canvas that was painted by a student or faculty member. On the back of the canvas told the story behind the artwork and the artist. Yeah........pretty cool.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't had the opportunity or been busy entertaining for the holidays and haven't had time to leaf through the latest issue of RHM I would encourage you to do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom and I designed a rug for the Dear Beginner Rug Hooker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The design is called "Simply Spring". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a dreary winter last year that we couldn't bring ourselves to design a rug that involved anything "winter".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We thought this design would be a perfect spark to start off your Spring designs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can stop by the shop and see the rugs in person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom hooked the "dull" version and I hooked the "bright" version.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We would LOVE to see your version of the rug!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps got those last minute gifts finished up and under the tree just in time? </div>

I can't remember how much "jangle" was in the "jar" but I know that I didn't win the amount. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see we have a pretty good time with the alphabet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next year is the letter "K". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it will be more of a challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had mom's name and I made her a "jigsaw" puzzle ball out of "jet" black velvet. I finished the day before but it looked awesome. I'll try and get a picture later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Enjoy your families and happy hooking everyone!</div>

We were lucky enough to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Orange Beach, Alabama.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all needed time to "forget" life for a few days and just be a family.</div>

<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As most of you know I keep busy with my kid's activities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sam is a senior this year and he is very busy himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend is the musical "Annie" that the high school chorus is putting on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have sewn 38 smocks and made too many alterations to count.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week I have spent every night at the auditorium helping and getting the kids in their costumes at the appropriate times. The evenings have been late to say the least.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also took the head-shots for the programs and my son Sam put the photos on a flash drive for the Superintendent's secretary. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other morning I was laying in bed checking my emails with one eye opened. I saw I had received an email from Judy, the secretary, saying she was missing some photos and could I please get them to her so she could finish the programs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promptly replied to her email and crawled out of bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stopped in her office and visited with her and we both asked if we had received each other's the emails. Yes, indeed we did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sent the photos as soon as I got to the shop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon checking my emails later that morning I saw Judy had sent me yet another email. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The email read, "I wish I had read your email prior to seeing you this morning. I would have given you some "crap" about it. Please re-read the email you sent me".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I re-read the email and here is what I actually sent her.</div>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt06TvBFiKR4QFngUyCwTVUrel0fhMpo1cwzH-0gYixljGDP5b7FZzTcKd8Pw_O81a75OiBoQj2EfsHyYUjnlfJk9eu4eAXjMmSj83LbaRouwP4AXSmkpZRcqbzGvYK-F6SF01DgWgmE/s1600/IMG_1008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt06TvBFiKR4QFngUyCwTVUrel0fhMpo1cwzH-0gYixljGDP5b7FZzTcKd8Pw_O81a75OiBoQj2EfsHyYUjnlfJk9eu4eAXjMmSj83LbaRouwP4AXSmkpZRcqbzGvYK-F6SF01DgWgmE/s320/IMG_1008.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not proof the email when I sent it nor was I wearing my glasses!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 very important things when sending out emails!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know that the I and O are right beside each other on the keyboard? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I now know!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all had a good laugh at MY expense!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Friday Everyone!</div>

BeeLine's Newest Addition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our sample arrived Tuesday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, is all I can say. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is light weight and really does fit in a suitcase!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The frame is 12" and rotates 360. You can also adjust the height and level of the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took some pictures so you could tell the difference between the 14" Orbital and the new 12" travel size.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I haven't done a very good job at blogging the last 2 weeks. My intentions are good. I have had a lot of unexpected things pop up and it's all good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent 4 days hooking on 2 mats that I will show in a later post. I was so excited as I was working on both every day but then life just seemed to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a short recap:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Sam was selected as part of the All-State Honor Choir (we are so proud of his hard work)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Sinus infection for me that ended up in the dr.'s office.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Flew to Florida on Tuesday and returned on Thursday to see oldest daughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Annie musical: In charge of costumes (40 smocks to make), alterations, head shots and helping Sam learn his lines (Daddy Warbucks) I think I could be his understudy. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Cross Country team qualified for State Meet and they placed 7th in Class 2A</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Sam was sworn in as a member of the Iowa Air Guard in Sioux City, Iowa. Now both boys are enlisted and I am praying for peace!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, they are all wonderful things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thought I would share my studio space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, it's a mess. Too many irons in the fire!</div>

This rug is the 2nd project that my Aunt Mary has hooked.<br />
She drove 6 hrs to get another project so she is ready for the winter months.<br />
It is hooked to perfection and was beautifully finished.<br />
Great job Aunt Mary and glad we have added another "hooker" to the family. :)<br />

What a few days we have had here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather is rainy, windy and cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess that means that winter is around the corner for us?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom and I were in Booneville, Missouri over the weekend vending at a show there. I didn't get an opportunity to take pictures. We had a great time as usual and connect up with some old friends.<br />
This trip always inspires me.<br />

The "Chicken Dance" we loved how this turned out. Such a happy rug and we really like how she outlined the entire rug. Seems like it automatically ages it.<br />

"Garden Row" hooked by the same lady. I do believe she did 1 sheep a day. This one isn't totally completed but I wanted to share anyway.<br />
It's always such a pleasure to see how everyone uses their creativity.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last but not least.<br />
We have had numerous customers ask us for shirts/sweatshirts.<br />
So.......we finally bit the bullet and put some shirts together.<br />
<br />
We have sweatshirts and short sleeved t-shirts.<br />
We have small through x-large.<br />
We chose a gold, red and blue for our colors and the shirts/sweatshirts are Authentic Pigment Dyed to give the faded look.<br />
<br />
Sweatshirts are $49.00 and T-Shirts are $18.50<br />
