She Hangs Out

1967

2011

Yes, I'm still watching The Monkees - Still on the second season and enjoying the fun.   Funny they are touring right now and they came to the Borgata (Atlantic City) in June but sold out immediately - My husband and I were thinking of going!

Anyway - just some random happenings of the week...

Remember the crash in the hooking room a few weeks ago - well I had this photograph of Riley in one of the baskets (When I got layed off of work, brought some of my photo's home I had around my office - this was one of them - Riley now at age 5 and when he was about 4 or 5 months old - in the same basket -now he just fits in it!  What a cutie (well i think he is!)


Oh and back to the "crash" - If my husband didn't tell me that Jonesy was in his lap I would almost think maybe it was Jonesy that helped with the crash!  This was last night around 2:00 a.m. I looked over (was up late whipping rugs) and saw this little dude up in the cubes! Oh my - And to think my husband thinks this "angel" does no wrong!


Of course he is a sweetie - this was after I pulled him down out of the cube!



Finished whipping, steaming and labeling some more rugs....



Oh and Riley - still ADDICTED to treats - I'm not kidding - it's getting worse - this was last night - he kept throwing these on my feet and would not stop


This is tonite - i keep the treats in this basket - notice he's going in...


Now he's sitting in the basket tossing the treats - he didn't stop until they were out and down on the floor!


He's getting worse and if you ignore him and don't give him any - anything in the vicinity gets thrown around by him - again NOT KIDDING - he's getting extreme and demanding over these!  Still cracks me up though as I could put any other type of food that's not cat food on the floor and the boy will not touch it! 

Oh well!

Hoping to keep up the motivation and start working on some other items - I am doing my best trying to keep the room clean in between burst of creativity - so that takes some time.  Have some things to take care of the next few days but hoping to get a hook in my hand again by Saturday!

Have a good day!

Oh Joanne, what great video's lol. Brings back some memories :) I liked Mickey, but Peter was a favorite of mine as well. Aw heck, I liked them all lol.

Great job with the hooked pieces! So prim :).
Such a cute picture of Riley when he was little. You better keep up with those treats for him. I just wonder what would happen if you ran out!

Joanne, Love your rugs you've finished, but I always do. I really am drawn to the style you hook in.

What is it about cat treats? There must be something really good in there. The treats at our house have to be locked up! Yesterday Shadow came down the stairs with a bag of Skittles candy that he found in Matthew's room. I know he thought they were kitty treats - I think the crinkly sound is the same. He was so funny walking into the living room with that bag of Skittles in his mouth - so proud he'd found a bag of treats! The best part - I told him to go show Carrie what he found "Carrie's in the basement - go show her what you found" and the silly cat listened and went to the basement! Carrie and I had a good laugh at him. Ofcourse he had to have some real kitty treats for being such a good listener! ~Ann

Joanne,
Your rugs are precious! Just the right primitive look with great colors!
Your boys are just plain cute! The treat thing with Riley is too funny! He's not being subtle at all is he!
Funny he hasn't figured out how to open the treat packages yet! But then again I guess he has! MOM!
Hugs!

I was just looking at an old picture of Dora. When we got her, she looked like a tiger, hardly any hair, now I find it all over the place, lol. They do find ways to get into things and drive us nuts;)

Jonesy is just the little climbing wonder cat! He-he!!!
Riley and the treats is just too cute! What would we do without cats for entertainment. And who would run our lives for us?
Love Riley's baby picture!

Happy to see the products of your motivation! Those are gorgeous hooked rugs! I'm beginning to wonder if a search for treats was how your room got tornado'd! I hope both kitties behave themselves so you can concentrate on hooking instead of rebuilding! lol! ;-)
