Happy Hooking!

Catching up.............

Thought I would share just a few pictures from our trip to Salt Lake City for my sister-in-laws inauguration ceremony.

We were treated like kings and queens.
 Upon arrival we received a gift basket in our room.

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.

How fun was that?

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. :)

Outside of her new office.

The ceremony was full of pomp and circumstance.

 Such a privilege to be a part of.

This is part of the gang anyway.

  We are missing the President and my oldest nephew.

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.

Happy Hooking Everyone!

A little bit of exciting news

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.

Mom and I designed a rug for the Dear Beginner Rug Hooker.

The design is called "Simply Spring".  

We had such a dreary winter last year that we couldn't bring ourselves to design a rug that involved anything "winter".

We thought this design would be a perfect spark to start off your Spring designs.

You can stop by the shop and see the rugs in person. 

 Mom hooked the "dull" version and I hooked the "bright" version.

We would LOVE to see your version of the rug!

Happy Hooking!

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Trust everyone enjoyed the holidays and got to spend some quality time with family.

 Perhaps got those last minute gifts finished up and under the tree just in time? 

 I know I had one last minute gift.

Right before we had our family Christmas we made a quick trip to Florida for a graduation ceremony. 

Our oldest, Jenny graduated from University of West Florida in December.

  She graduated with a degree in Biology and will begin her Masters program this spring. Jenny will continue as a graduate assistant with the volleyball team.  

The letter "J" was the Christmas letter this year. 

 Mom's table looked stunning as usual.

"Joy" was the centerpiece and added a beautiful sentiment to the dinner table.

As you can see we all had a box of "Jello" at our place along with some "juniper" and "jingle" bells.

Mom found this wonderful "jean jumper" at Goodwill.  She was extremely proud of herself. 

I believe the scarecrow will be wearing it when the snow is gone!

I can't remember how much "jangle" was in the "jar" but I know that I didn't win the amount.  

As you can see we have a pretty good time with the alphabet. 

 Next year is the letter "K". 

 I think it will be more of a challenge.

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.

Enjoy your families and happy hooking everyone!

Memories in the Making

Many of you have watched my children grow up so I wanted to share these with you.

Sam and Joe after the all state concert. Sam sang in the chorus and Joe played the bass trombone in the orchestra.

We were lucky enough to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Orange Beach, Alabama.

We all needed time to "forget" life for a few days and just be a family.

I used to think I had a "normal" family until I started looking at these photos.  

Seems they aren't "normal" after all! ;)

Natalie's cheer squad is competing for the first time in February.

She thought she could teach her "strong" brothers how to do the lifts so she could practice.

Turns out it wasn't as easy as they thought.

We had some good laughs and it was wonderful to be together as a family!

Thanks, for letting me share.

Happy Hooking!

And the winner is.....................

Thank you to all who shopped our Customer Appreciation sale.  If you stopped by or read the email you will know that we had a couple of give-aways.

I should have taken a picture of the jar that contained the noodles.  The winner of the noodles and mat to go with it was Elsie Ulland.

Give-away #2 was a skillet full of 1/16's and a soy candle. Skillet was a little too heavy to ship. :)

The winner of that was Cindy DeBlick!

Prizes have already been shipped and I must say the winners were thrilled.

Happy Hooking!
