What Am I Doing Hanging' Round

Taking a break right now - that's what I'm doing!

Finally got some motivation and have actually been hooking! Can you believe it! 

I haven't been in the mood to hook for so long but had to "create" something for my swap partner for our online group, AAPG.  I got Betty (http://primitivebettys.blogspot.com/) - She is such a talented lady - so I was a little intimidated on what to make for her!  I know she likes sheep and kitties and one of our "requirements" of the swap was to make something with a Sunflower.  We were supposed to make "bowl fillers" - so this is what I made Betty....

So for the past few days all I've been doing is hooking, stitching and whipping!  

I put on the boob tube and decided to watch our DVD's of  ...

Remember them?  Oh my I believe they are the hippie version of the 3 Stooges.  The TV series was on in 1966-1968,  It's been fun watching it - I'm on Season 2 and right now Davy is singing Daydream Believer.  Micky was always my favorite - either way - silly fun for sure and great background to hook by.   Last night I saw an episode with Bobby Sherman in it as a teen heartthrob! Too funny - so that got me to thinking - Remember the show "Here Comes the Brides"?  I asked my husband if he can download that series for me and also asked him if he could find Petticoat Junction!  Maybe they won't be as good as I remember but will be fun to watch.  Anyway - back to hooking....

I hooked these 5 pillows on wool and got them sewn and stuffed...

I have 5 rugs ready to go to the Museum - just got done sewing on the labels - and have hooked about 5 or 6 more rugs that I need to whip now - already labeled them.  Will show you pics after they are whipped.

Hoping to keep this up but I'm not making any promises! I know me! LOL  Just felt good to actually get something done. Maybe it was the room re-do and having things at hand but knowing where things were - Its a bit messy again but I am trying to put away things as I get them out!

Oh man Jonesy, I told you to stay out of Mom's stuff, you got threads on your head and wool dust on  your back! Yuk! 

Still thinking on a give-away!  Haven't come up with anything yet!

After a few conversations the past few weeks with a couple of friends and knowing some people that thrive on making drama, this is so true and words to remember (it's the last half of an email that was going around - first half doesn't matter so much!) Take care and have a good week!

The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.  Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and

you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Have a nice day!
