Black Friday SALE today to Monday – all in stock patterns 10% off. Get your Christmas present(s) now! Let me know which pattern(s) you may want and I will let you know if they are in stock and if so they qualify for the discount. Also, remember our Canadian dollar is much lower than the U.S. dollar so that means ADDITIONAL savings!… 

And now for some pictures – Nope, not my rugs 🙂 but I must say the 5 acres of sky is now down to about 1 acre so soooooon I will be done and able to post Copenhagen. My poor Tom Thomson from our wonderful class has been put on the back burner until sky is finished. But, others have been hooking so here are a few pictures…

Nancy’s lovely scrappy rug…

Betty finished her Tom Thomson hmmmm in about a week!…

Kim’s lovely Celtic rug …

On another, but unhappy note, my server does not seem to want to play nice with other servers so if you have emailed me and not received a response back it IS possible that your server and mine for some reason are not connecting. I have most likely responded but your server may have dumped my email in your junk or spam file. Please, call me or email me again if you have not received an email back from me and I will get in touch. I know that I am having problems connecting with Yahoo accounts! and it seems now others. Thank you for your patience…

SNOWWWWWWW…

WAY TOO EARLY!!! I still needed time to sit on my chairs overlooking the lake and enjoy the fall and whoosh it is gone (whoosh would be the sound of many inches of snow sliding down our metal roof and piling up on the stairs – natures way of telling me I need to exercise!)! Who would have thought winter would start beginning of November? We have lots of snow – so much that hmmm, I don’t think it will go away! And although I love winter and snow – I don’t love it until Christmas! and I love it to be gone end of February!

But I decided to hunker down and hook on Copenhagen which has an ENORMOUS sky! I wonder if an inch or two cropped off the top would be missed haha…

And it appears others are also hooking up a storm (not of snow but of wool – snippets flying through the air like snowflakes!)… so a few rugs to share:

Chris finished her funky fish bones (I have one last set. in stock!)…

Diane hung her adapted Karla Gerard design on a vintage door  (available through my one line store)…Tracy finished number 2 of her chairpads and just ordered number 3 and 4 – each one will have the same house but different backgrounds and seasonal motifs… Karen is using up all her worms for coasters – I think these will make great Christmas presents…

And don’t forget about International Rughooking Day in Williamstown (see notice below). Filling up quickly so get your reservation in soon. This is always a fun day with vendors, prizes and delicious lunch – and of course hooking with friends…
