How sweet it is


Ahh, the sweet feel of my hook and strips of wool in my hands.   It's been so long and I really have missed it.  Tonight I decided no more excuses.  I knew once I started it would be great.  And it is.....


This is a Payton Primitives pattern that I picked up when I was in Maine in May.  Has it really been that long?  The slump is over and I've beaten Lauren to the hook!  (Unless of course she actually hooked something today.  Have you Lauren???). Lol.  

I had the afternoon off so I started my long weekend early.  I had lunch with my friend "the bargain hunter".  She brought me a great silver throw pillow for my house and mentioned she saw a fun shelf at  the Thrift Store.   We went to check it out and I loved it.  She definitely has a skill.

Once I get my kitchen repainted this is going on the wall.


I think it will be cute to display china tea cups.  Don't ya think??

Miss Millie had an appointment at the beauty parkour and I stocked up on groceries.   So now we are all set to hunker down and nest for the long weekend.   I can't believe it's almost September but on the bright side, that means cozy sweaters and fabulous boots soon.  :)

  1. One can only hope September will lead us to some cooler weather wear. Our predictions for the first week of September, though, are for highs into the low-nineties (Farenheit). Summer continues here, regardless of the date on the calendar! Enjoy that hook and wool! It has been too long! xo

  4. Cute shelf! I'll look forward to seeing it on the wall! Enjoy your weekend. I know I'm planning on doing as much yard work as I can. It felt like fall this morning. It was only 64de in the house when I got up! But it's warmed up nicely...enjoy this last bit of Summer!

  5. I bet you really do feel "at home" now, hooking again! Love the little shelf and it should be perfect for teacups. Will you leave it the same color?

  8. Hurray for hooking! It really is the best therapy! Love the shelf your friend found for you! Maybe she should start her own "great finds" store? I certainly never find good stuff like that when I'm looking around... Have an awesome weekend... and yes, I'm looking forward to sweater season too!
