Since it was so nice out yesterday I decided to venture out to Grant Street for their Weekly Hook-In! Such a nice day for a drive - had all the windows and sunroof open and singing to my new Tom Petty CD - yes it was a very good thing that I was alone in the car as no one wants to be subjected to my singing voice!
Had a fun day at Grant Street. Lots of hooking going on - Everyone was hard at work!
Lots of laughter also, of course...
And even some consulting on a multitude of subjects! Poor Doris just wanted a band aid but she got more than she bargained for - but this is just what Grant Street is all about - someone is always ready to lend a hand whether it be color planning, listening to complaints, picking a new pattern, sharing a story, cutting wool, sewing something for the sewing machine challenged (THANK YOU SO MUCH LINDA), and even surgery.... you know the kind of place - one stop shopping!
I was able to finally totally complete my chair pads - all whipped, all labeled, and all steamed (of course I had some (I'll be nice here -- Kathy...) and say encouragement to get them finished
I'm hoping to deliver them today and then with nothing on the frame - will now be forcedto work on cleaning the house and organizing things - have been neglecting that lately with the heat and watching Dark Shadows and hooking! Of course I will be thinking of what to start working on next!
Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July

Your chairpads turned out great! Your customer will no doubt love them. I somehow missed that you were doing so many! Each one is special, and could get to be a tradition to sit on a certain one for family dinners!
