Fancy Peacocks

Here's a sampler that I finished this weekend....Fancy Peacocks Hanging Pinkeep is the name of the pattern by Stacy Nash Primitives.  The pattern is for a pinkeep but I felt like framing it.  Four day weekends are great......I also started a good book.....three weeks to say goodbye!!!!!

The Annual Gift Tag Exchange

Here is some pictures from a Gift Tag Exchange that a good friend of mine has every year.  It so fun to see everyone's creations.  Good tags, good food and good friends.....was a great time.

Sampler Sled

I guess better late then never.....it's been about two months since my last post.  Not good.  Here is a little sled that I found at an antique store and so I stitched a sampler for the top of it.  Not sure what I will do with it yet.....gift, keep, ebay...hmmmm    Happy Friday everyone!  Linda

Finished my Hooked Rug!!!!!

Off to my hooking class tomorrow with Jayne Johnson from Kansas City....should be fun!  Wanted to get this one done before I started a new rug.  Linda

Ready for Winter!

Took me a couple of months but I finally finished my knitted mittens so I'm all set for winter.  One of them turned out a little big but they will work.    Linda

Huff N Puff

We just got back from two days at the Huff n Puff Hot Air Balloon festival in Topeka Kansas.....it was absolutely beautiful to see all the different colored hot air balloons.  In total there was about 30 balloons....if you ever get the chance it is every September!  I've heard the one in Albuquerque is really fun it has about 700 balloons.....would love to go see that one someday.  Also got to take a side trip to a fun little stitchery store in Topeka.....The Sunflower Seed....had to purchase a little linen while I was there.

Hope you all had a good weekend!  Linda

New Family Member!

We have a new family member...this cat and his two kids moved in this weekend; my husband thinks it is a divorce situation and the dad got the kids.  The baby kittens just opened their eyes (one is grey and the other is black).  The daddy cat is very friendly and we think the family just got dumped out in the country.  We are looking for suggestions for names.....if your suggestion is taken - I will be mailing you a surprise.....please leave your blog address so I can get in touch with you.  Linda
