Ahhhhhh glorious weather. On Thursday at 4 pm it turned black outside and thunder started rumbling but there was only a little spit of rain. In desperation, because my gardens were dry as a bone, I started my rain dance on the front porch. AND IT WORKED 🙂 as minutes later the rain came crashing down and lasted a long time. None of that 5 minute stuff! The smell of wet earth and the sound of happy gardens sucking up the moisture was incredible! So yes – I looked rather idiotic jumping up and down on my porch, but the rain did not pass us by! And the humidity left for a few days. It is glorious again today and once Captain Hi-liner gets back from water testing we are off on the boat to swim, have lunch/dinner, read and either hook, punch or stitch (well that would be me not Gord 🙂 ). So one of these days I may actually have a finished project to share!
In the meantime, here are some pieces completed by others for you to enjoy:
Louise finished her version of my Fish Tych in lovely yarns:
Wendy finished her Karla Gerard and a lovely geometric:
Lynne’s amazing fish!…
Betty finished her American Country Rugs pattern with a braided edge…
Toni finished her lovely stained glass rug…
Despite the heat hookers persevere:
Tara hooked Lisa Ferguson’s Winter Fox beautifully…
Michelle hung Primitive Posies on a fabulous hanger…
Barb punched my River Otters – I love the way this turned out – does that mean I need to punch it myself?…
Gil decided her Karla Gerard Raccoons needed a little framing with some needle felting and appliqué…
and also did a beautiful job of punching Lisa Ferguson’s Morning Geese…
and Meryl sent me a picture of her lovely Laurel Burch cats (available from Carol Shewan at Willow Creek Rughooking)…
Was wonderful. Carol and I worried about weather way too much – although, when we woke up Tuesday morning to torrential downpours, it was a little disconcerting but in the end the day turned out beautifully – well maybe a tad more humid and hot than the day before! We had a record turnout, and almost everyone managed to fit into the air conditioned room with a few hardy souls sitting on the lovely covered patio.
A big thank you to everyone who attended and made the day special, to our many volunteers and helpers and to our donors of delicious treats for the many hungry hookers (you do work up an immense appetite when you are hooking) and donors of fabulous door prizes. We could not have done it without you!
