Doo Whacka Do

Well it was a long weekend but I do believe that someone is happy I'm home this morning and providing a "lap" (Yep I think this little guy missed me - he was talking up a storm when I got home yesterday - not sure if he was yelling at me for leaving or just excited I was home! ) 


Saturday I spent the day over at the Heritage Center in Harleysville for their annual PA/German Folk Art Sale (http://www.mhep.org/).  It was the opening weekend however the sale is on all month in case you are in the area.  The place was beautifully decorated and there was some gorgeous items for sale.

I was demonstrating rug hooking along with Maryilyn Diener who was demonstrating Scherenschnitte.  There was never even a lull in the amount of people to talk to about rug hooking.  Loved hearing stories how some had done it but put aside their hooking and now are inspired again or that their grandmother's had done it. 




My Mom and her friend Jean stopped by to visit (Mom in red)....



Even with all the talking I was doing I did manage to get a lot hooked - here is my progress towards the end of the day...



I left a little early and went home and was home all of five minutes until I had to leave again to take Nettie, Diane and Susan to Atlantic City for the evening for the Celtic Thunder Holiday Show.  We were so lucky that traffic eastbound moved freely (unlike west bound - dead stops!).  We made it in time to grab a bite to eat and get settled in our seats.

After the show it was time to hit the floor and play those penny slots!

Had a good time, spent the night there and before you know it, it was time to say goodbye to Atlantic City.  This is Nettie, Diane and Susan


Now I seriously have to come up with some ideas for Christmas presents and get the house cleaned and in order!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

What a great weekend! Looking forward to seeing the rug finished! Don't you just miss your little kitties when you're away?

Looks like a great place to shop and hook.
I love Celtic Thunder, should go to a show when they are in the city.

Sounds like you had a great weekend. And I love how you are hooking your Seven Gates rug. Can't wait to see more! Snuggle up with your kitties (guess I should through hubby in there as well) and stay warm tonight!

Busy, busy, busy and having a ball, right?
I can't believe the progress you made on your rug in one day talking with people. I need speed hooking lessons from you!
Hugs :)
