Queen of the Highway

Do your kitties make better doors than windows?

Did you Mother ever tell you not to sit so close to the TV? 

Hey Mom - we DO make better doors than windows, right!

Lalalalalalalallalallalaaaa  I got a skeeter on my ......lalalalalalallalalalala...

Hey Jonesy - Mom doesn't look so amused anymore...

I'm the good one in the family....I listen when you say get down - now where's my treat?

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroorrrr....just cause he's the baby he thinks he's special....

Well when the boys weren't trying to "amuse" me with their antics this week, I actually got things done - I went grocery shopping, thrifting, got my hair cut, banking, post officing, visiting the parents - all on Monday and Tuesday!

Wednesday I headed on out to "vacation" in beautiful "Chambersburg" - You know the place- the Home of Grant Street Woolworks -the place where the fun never ends!

My first stop was Shippensburg where I stop in UNANNOUNCED at Kathy's!  What a good friend I am to do that huh! 

Then it was off to Grant Street!  Met up with Linda there and we went over to her house (where I was staying) and she made dinner then we went off and met up with Kathy and played bingo!  Linda was our big winner of the night! Way to go Linda!  Kathy was "set" for the $700 jackpot - darn it, someone else won!

We came back and hug out in Linda's kitchen.  Poor Linda got out some ice cream and she ended up HAVING to give most of it to Beau and Louie - they aren't spoiled are they! 

The next day was the all day hook-in.
I have to admit i was slow to pull out my piece of linen and worms and get started hooking - I should have had way more done than I did - I would pull a few loops and sit back - this went on all day - Just couldn't decide on what I wanted to hook - just hooked a hit and miss - stole the idea from Kathy!  Thanks for letting me steal your idea!

Once again, I didn't get a pic of everyone that was there.

Barb was there early and had to leave early but she had a "Secret Pal" gift - and boy was her smile from ear to ear - she LOVES bright colors and her pal gave her some BRIGHT FABRIC!  She just loved it!

 
Kathy was a busy one - She actually was hooking away - she was filling an order...

And got them almost done (she has to label them yet!) Aren't they great!

 Linda needed a better view of Nancee's rug.... dance on the tables for dollars

Nancee's rug - it's better in person - just beautiful - she has all the background to finish - it's a large rug!

Genny was there with her sister Kathy and Betty - Genny was making a rug of the map of the US for her husband - every state will be a different color and i believe the border will be a pale blue (for the ocean)...  She finished North Dakota and South Dakota while she was there!

Sherri came was was still whipping her kitty rug - we told her we weren't leaving until she was done...

Well she finished!

Joan was there also but didn't get a pic of what she was working on - actually if i remember it correctly she was as bad as me at working!  Margo was there working on a snowman rug and forgot to get a pic of that and Linda was working too all day (except when she was looking (dancing on the table) at Nancee's rug.  Betsy was painting, and I can't remember who else may have come and gone!

Well I had to get up early this morning and leave Linda's and come home (2 1/2 hour drive) because I had to be at work at the co-op at 1:30 - My car has been in the auto body shop all week and I've been driving a rental and the car was supposed to done today so I had to be home in time to pick that up too! Well a part wasn't in yet - they were waiting for delivery - so now my car won't be ready until Monday!

The customers were sporadic at the co-op today and since I'm not a "dealer" there I do not have an area to attend to - so I just wandered around and looked at things...

this is an item i want - the pic doesnt' do it justice - but I WANT this desk - I have the  perfect place for it and love the old wood on it - it's unusual but love the L' shaped back and the one post and the stair type bottom - again - not a great pic especially with all the "stuff" on top but maybe some day if i get a real job...

Oh look - i found 2 rug hooking books - i have both of these already....

And shame this little guy is concrete - I could have clipped him and made my own wool!

This stool is screaming for a hooked top...

Hey Sharon - I found 2 radio's ... (I had to check the ticket - they are NOT BB's stuff! LOL)

Oh and you too can own these lamps - the one on the left is only a mere $1,150.00 and the one on the right is $795!  Eek - I hope for the dealers sake someone comes in and has to have them!

During my thrifting on Monday I found this great piece of wool I can use to hook thru - it's more of a green than the pic with a subtle red thru it - It will be absolutely perfect to make some Holiday pillows!  It was 3 1/2 yards - new wool - for $12.  I was hemming and hawing about paying that much (new wool is much more but heck this was a thrift store) but decided to - and when i got to the counter it was half price! Woohoo - even better!

So now it's the weekend! Hope everyone has a good one whatever your plans!
