Hooker's Crack ??

Got your attention, didn't I......

I should state right off the top that the title of this post should
not be comfused with something
like "Plumber's crack"
Ewwwww !

Have you figured out what "Hooker's Crack" is yet ??

WOOL

Yesterday while talking to a friend, the accountant called to say our taxes were done.  
And yes, there is a refund !
So then he says "Wow, you can buy a lot of Hooker's Crack with that".  (he meant wool people...)

I thought it was too funny because just like that other nasty illegal crack, we hookers get addicted to wool.  We can't get enough of it.  No stash is ever complete.
(As I re-read this post, I should note that I doubt anyone has ever gotten addicted to plumbers crack.....just saying)

Its TGIF and I'm feeling a little silly.  On another note, yesterday was Millie's 9th birthday.

  1. Happy birthday to Millie! Yes, I should not be on the computer with the babies here and I saw your title and I just had to click. :) I love those colors and you are so right, maybe it is safer I live in a town where there is no wool stores.
    Well, gotta go, I hear a fight brewing.
    Have a great Friday and a great hooking weekend.

  4. Oh Kim, I'm all cracked up here reading your blog post. Yes, I'm addicted to crack Wool and we need to get organized and create a support group.

    Happy Birthday Sweet little Millie. Hope mama is treating you extra special today.

    We haven't started doing our taxes yet. Just tying some loose ends here and there before we start. I usually get a refund too and will spend some on doing small renovations in the spare bathroom. JB

  5. Hi Kim, Funny post. We run an addictions counseling clinic...We have not seen any wool addicts come through our doors yet though (unless you count me...the owner) I haven't sought treatment yet though.

    Happy Birthday to Millie.
    Have a great weekend and enjoy spending your refund!!

  6. Happy Birthday to Millie!! Give her an extra treat!

    Kim, still by the pool in FL. Too hot to think about wool but I did have to bring a rug to bind that someone asked me to bind for them and it needs to be done by the time I get back on Monday - yikes!

  7. Eloise and I send our best birthday wishes to Millie. I hope she had a good treat for her birthday dinner.

    Kim, do you know that there is a product called "crack" that hookers use to transfer patterns with? A great product that makes life easy and had nothing to do with that stuff you buy on the corner from the dealer!

    Kim, you just "crack" me up. You have the most wicked sense of humor.
    I ordered 3 yards of hooker crack this morning from the new Rebecca Erb flyer.
    Loved seeing your cute pics on Julia's blog.
    Pug hugs :)

  13. Gus and I send Millie Happy Birthday wishes!

    Very funny post! I am definitely a wool addict...but, at least it's not fattening, you don't need an ID to buy it, and you can gather lots of wool and still drive--unless you're hooking with it, then you need a designated driver!

  19. lol I have heard of everything now. Hookers Crack is a good one. I thought when I first saw your title that you had been hanging around Ms. Pearl toooooo long. hahaha
    Wonderful your getting a refund. I get so mad every year for paying in...since I am single they really sock it to me. Makes me want to just give up sometimes.
    Been in bed all day but had to get up for a while and check on my friends.
    Hope you enjoy your stash.
    Love ya
    Maggie

  24. That's the best! Thanks for that. I just opened a pile of mail that's been sitting here for days upon days, only to discover some samples from Heavens to Betsy...swaying...I'm feeling the need to order, even if I don't have a refund and haven't had time for hooking...sigh.
