Never Fix Your Jet Ski in the Garage

Here are some pictures from one of our rentals that caught fire last night.  The neighbor decided to do some repair work to his jet ski in the garage next to the gas can.....in 20 years of having rentals we've never received this call in the middle of the night...."my neighbor started the house on fire".  Luckily no one was hurt and we are now waiting to hear if our side is salvagable (its the unit on right side). 

Hot, Hot, Hot

Spent the weekend camping with friends for our Annual Christmas in July camp out.  We went to Lake Perry, Kansas and did a little sail boating, traditional Christmas meal and enjoying the hot, hot, hot   weather........here are a few pictures from our weekend.  I did spend some quality time in the camper since it was so hot and finished a sampler and binding a hooked rug. Hope all of you had a good weekend also.  Linda

Geometric Floral Hooked Rug

Just put the last strip in this Geometric Floral Pattern by Designs by the Lady.  I still need to finish the edges and then the hard part deciding where to put it......so many hooked rugs not enough walls..... Hope everyone had a great Father's Day!  Linda

From Craft Table to Kitchen Table

Many, many years ago me and my sister did craft shows....and then came kids and shows just don't happen anymore.  So a couple of months ago I am cleaning out my basement and found the table top we would use at our shows.  I hauled the table top out to my husband's shop and asked if he would try and build me a kitchen table from it.....how fun is that......I love it.....

So while he's been working on that, I've been working on a very large hooking project (this is Janice Johnson's from Wooley Woolen - "My World").  I'm only about 1/4 of the way done on mine.

But what I've really been up to is this

The Happy Place!!!!!!  Linda



Alphabet Floral Sampler - New Pattern

It's been rainy today so I've had a chance to finish up a few things.  My husband always thinks he's getting something good for supper but it's actually me baking my fabric goods.......  This pattern is for sale on pattern page.  Feels so good to finish something.  Linda

Couple of finishes headed to Nelly's Nest!

Just finished up a few little pieces for Nelly's Nest.  Seems like I have been so busy lately haven't had much time to stitch.  Need more hours in the day....or less hobbies...  Linda
