Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)

Well the past week been getting things done.  I did finish all chair pads and have 6 of the 8 whipped - just need to whip the last two, steam and label and deliver!

I have also whipped about 6 or so little mats that need labels and delivery!

Last Wednesday took a jaunt to Atlantic City with a friend for two nights.  She needed to pick up tickets to an upcoming show so decided to take her on the scenic tour on the way down - we drove down to Avalon, visited the store where another friend has a couple of booths and then drove up Ocean Drive through a lot of the little resort towns.  We did get out of the car and I dipped my toes in the Ocean - just love the Ocean - could really really live next to it and be happy!

Hung around and relaxed the next two days - we did see a Comedy Show - it was just okay - I'm just not really into shows like this but thought I would give it another try - nope - still not my "thing"!

Saturday was the Brandywine Hook-In.  If you check out Jill, Sharon, and Kathy's blogs you can see a lot of the day's happenings so I will only post a handful of photos since they are very similar.   It was so crowded - I am so glad we had an outside table - I would certainly have run out of the center tables screaming "I can't breathe" if I had to spend time in there.  Some people looked uncomfortable trying to hook but I guess this is okay because really how much work gets done with all the vendors and people to visit!

I did good - only bought a few pieces of wool and wanted more but behaved!

Here are some random pics of the day!

Here is Janice, Nettie and Sharon - Sharon was waiting for the minutes until she could make another cheese and cracker...

Janice working on her "Simplify" rug - great colors and great idea - need to hook one and hang in my hooking room!

Patty - she's always all smiles!  So nice to see her again!

Louise on right with her friend - This is her Sparhawk rug - I am so sorry I sold mine now!  Louise is the queen of colors - she knows how to make a rug look antique and her loops are perfect!  This is the best Sparhawk I have seen yet - Love it Louise!

Here's Sharon's rug - hard to see but her background is incredible (see her blog for better pics) Can't remember the name of this rug but it's almost done and just gorgeous!

Rebecca's booth (this had to be later in the afternoon - early on you couldn't get near it and the lines were long - i can't take crowds without feeling claustrophobic so I just waited!)

Kathy explaining why she had to buy wool (Before the hook in she has been talking about not letting her buy any more wool - remember she works in a wool shop - there is no help for her- She can explain all she wants!)

Even Beth gave up on keeping Kathy out of Rebecca's booth!

Sherri is probably upset cause Kathy was buying up all the wool she wanted!

All in all it was a nice day.  The weather was beautiful (usually rains!)

This week I haven't gotten to anything creative!  Been going on blogs and finding some new recipes so been trying something new each day and Monday was one of those days where I started on thing and then another and another - before long the house was torn apart - so ended up putting away Halloween decorations and cleaning the first floor.

On the Miles front - just don't know what to do anymore.  We stopped with the medicine -wasn't helping - I really don't think the vets know what to do with him either - so I just watch where I walk and carry paper towels - I give him food whenever he wants and just am keeping him as comfortable and loved as possible.  He's holding his own - I don't think he's lost anymore weight but hasn't gained either.  The vomiting hasn't subsided in the least but he does eat and drink and use the litter and he also likes to be around us and even lets Riley near him (at times!)

Jonesy and Riley are same characters as ever - Whenever they are together it's a guarantee they will get into some kind of trouble but they are fun to watch interact.  Jonesy loves to play and will often pick up a toy start playing with it and then look around waiting for Riley to show up! Chances are he will!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week
