Long Time Gone!

It's certainly been a long time since I've been on here!   Lots of things been happening!

One thing was my laptop died - May it R.I.P.

Not a happy camper about that either as it wasn't even two years old and during that time it had crashed 3 times where I lost everything (of course I didn't back up!)

Anyway - my old one couldn't be fixed so i had to get a new one.   Went a different direction and bought a different make.  So far so good...knock on wood.

Then on this laptop I tried to get into blogger...No can do - I could read but blogs but couldn't even get into my own blog to update or comment, etc.  So after some research I realized I had to download a different browser.  So long story short - i downloaded another browser but can't get it to work through my AOL account so I can open it separately and work on the blog - Still working on that but I'm a little challenged (okay a lot challenged) in the techy department!

Also my hand problems have been slowing me down on hooking - I have so many things I want to get done but can hook one day and then have to rest the hand for a few days etc.  Going for a shot in the hand end of this week so hopefully that will help -

So here are some rugs I've been working on for sale - and some I have pulled out of my tub which may have been posted here prior -






















Last week I went to fabric sale  - I got some good deals -  I think I spend a total of $30

This is about 6-7 yards of wool - colors are off in my pic (of course)  but the top one is a rusty color (so pretty) and the other is more a dull red, and then a gray/beige/camel  color - all washed and beautiful wool -  This wool was $4/yard


This pile is hard to see but mostly nice sized pieces and even some yardage - it was fill a bag for $2.00 well I had that bag stuffed to the gills!


I also bought a tiny serger or $5, a large piece of linen for cross stitch for $0.50 and a few other little odds and ends.

Quentin was helping me so I gave him a wool bow tie - he wasn't happy!

Jonesy said don't even think about tying anything around my neck!


And of course Riley was helping me "fold" the wool after I washed it!  It's good to have all this help.



Not much else going on - from this pic you can see how BIG Quentin is getting - he's almost 11 months old already - can you believe it!  He's got some weight to him too and just getting bigger everyday.  He really is a character and still loves to play so much - Wherever you go in the house - you can be sure you have your "shadow" with you!




Well hopefully this post works and hopefully this computer holds up - Still trying to "adjust" some things and hoping the contraption my husband bought will be able to save the information from my hard drive on the dead computer!  We shall see....

Have a wonderful day!
