REMINDER – RVBB VENDOR DAY…

Next Thursday, November 1, is annual vendor day hosted by our guild, Rideau Valley Boots and Baskets, at the community centre in Burritts Rapids.  Bring your list of stash building needs and join us. We have a number of vendors of rughooking supplies and woollen items and even provide coffee, tea and snacks to keep you invigorated while you do your shopping 🙂 .

This weekend I am off to our annual rughooking retreat at Camp Iawah where I plan to punch, hook and not cook or clean! Yeahhhhhh… Maybe some pictures?????…

MORE RUGS…

RUG SHOW AND JUNKIN…

Well, we are home again and I am so inspired. The rug show was wonderful – so many creative and exciting rugs. I tried to take pictures of all the rugs but hmmmmmmm, Gord says because I am so cheap and would not allow him to spend 2000 dollars on an iPhone with extended memory I can only take 160 pictures. I say it is because he has sooooooooo many silly apps on his phone that he has used once! and forgotten about! So many times during the picture taking process I would have to hand him the phone and he would delete apps! In the end I did get a good number of photos to share – enough to hopefully inspire you too!!!!…  This process may take a few days as I have to edit each photo and then edit the labels and FIND THE ONE THAT BELONGS TO THE RUG! somehow in sending them to myself they got all kerfuffled so I may miss one or two …
