My Giveaway Winnings!

Hi blogging friends, I hope you 

all are having wonderful weather,

it has been just beautiful here for

a couple weeks, now....Got lots of

rain on the weekend, though.

I wanted to show you all the

wonderful things I have won in

giveaways and thank them all

again, for their generosity.

First of all, I won a lot of craft

things over at The Crafter's 

Nestled Nook Forum. I was sure

surprised, because I didn't think

I was entered!  Here are the 

wonderful things I was lucky 

enough to win!

All these wonderful items, above
are from Deb Turner, she started
the forum, so if you haven't been 
on there, you need to go check it
out, there are a lot of ideas and 
tutorials posted on the forum.
Click here to take you there.

 All the wonderful crafting supplies
in the picture, above are from Kay
Wigginton, she picked out some
great items for crafting, too! Oh, I 
want to mention that Kay and her
husband have been doing some 
wonderful wooden bowls, trenchers,
game boards and more, so go check
out their fb site, click here to go to
it and when you get down to where 
it says February, click on that and
you will see the trenchers and bowls
that Jerry has been making, they 
are awesome! Tell them that
Karen sent ya!

And, I got all these craft items from
Libby Bryant, she makes some 
wonderful candles and in this bunch
of craft goodies, she sent me some
awesome smelling tarts! You can 
check out her blog, here.


I want to thank all you ladies, 
again, you sent me wonderful 
crafting supplies!

 
Then I won this cute heart on 
a spring from Angel Bug Prims!
She gave it away to celebrate her
birthday!....Hey, I thought you 
were supposed to get presents for
your birthday, not give away 
presents!

And lastly, I won this cute little 
bunny in a flower pot on the PAFA
Spring giveaway!  Lisa of A Stitch
in Time, donated it for the giveaway.
I can tell you that this is the only 
bunny that I have! You would think,
by looking at this picture that he 
might be good sized, but he is sitting
in a 2 1/2" pot!  I don't know how
Lisa has the patience, if she made 
the little bunny, he sure is cute 
and I love his big feet!


I guess this post got really long,
so if you stayed with me this long,
I thank you, also!


I need to get something started,
that I wanted to do, earlier....So,
I am getting off here and getting
at it!  

Something else, I want to add,
I won't be posting the collectibles
on here, that I intended on posting
because I found out, I am able to 
get a booth at the antique mall, so
I will be taking it all there, so 
sorry if you were looking for some
thing that I will be selling.


Thanks for stopping by!

I Got It All Hooked!

Good afternoon, blogging

friends!  I finally got the little 

rug done, except for binding

 and pressing it....Now that I see it,

in this picture, I think I will

tear out the left edge and redo 

it....It was done with some of

the wool, that I didn't like...

Picky, picky, picky.....

I am hooked,

I love this craft and I now have

ideas for 6 more!

I got a wonderful rug hooking 

book on ebay, but I think it will

take me months to do one of 

them!

I am sorting things that I need to

get rid of so, I will get those things

on here later on.....I can't believe

how much stuff I have around here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Making Progress

Hey everyone, I don't know 

what the problem was with 

the last post, but I hope you

all got to read it, about our

friend, Lorna. She posted 

this morning, so go check 

out her post, if you haven't

done so.

I have been working on my 

little rug/candle mat at night 

and am making progress.

I was in Hobby Lobby and I 

found this stand for my hoop

and it works great!

 I love hooking and I have

already designed 3 more to do.

I don't like the shape of the red

and gray band on the left side, so 

I will probably change it up some

and I hope to get it all done in the 

next couple days.

I hope you all have a great week 

and thanks for stopping by.

Update On Our Blogging Friend, Lorna!

This is the 4th time I have 
attempted to post this about
Lorna, I don't know what is
going on, but I am trying it
again, without her picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got to looking on someone's 
blog and it did not show this 
post in their blog roll, it was 
still showing the rug hooking 
post....I have noticed that in
my dashboard, it will show a
new post from a blogger and 
when I click on it, it will 
say that it does not exist, Have
any of you had that problem?
Let's see if this works!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I posted this on Wednesday!

Hey everyone, I just want to let

you all know that I just talked 

to Lorna, of Live Oak Primitive

Peddler.  She saw the specialist

in Dallas, yesterday and he did

surgery on her shoulder this

 morning and she is doing great!

She had about 80% range of 

motion in her arm, while she 

was in surgery....I forgot what 

joint it was, that he said was 

probably the problem, anyway

he said most doctors over look it.

She is waiting for him to come

by to talk to her since the surgery.

She will either get out of the 

hospital, later today or tomorrow

morning.....She is grateful for 

all your prayers and she will 

let you all know the details when

she gets home....I am so happy

for her, I was hoping to get to see

her this week, but she will be

heading back home, soon...I had

so much fun with her when we got 

to meet up for a bit, last February...

"To know her is to love her"

that is what I say!

I want to thank you all for praying

for her, also...She is one sweet lady!

Blessings to you all~Karen

I'm a Hooker!

Hey everyone, I guess I got side

tracked, again!  I apologize to

 those of you, that have been 

waiting on me to post some 

more things for sale. I don't

know why I didn't post more,

I just didn't.  I will do that

soon, though....I need to go

through some more boxes of

things, first....NOW, for the 

 rest of this post....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have started something I have

wanted to do for a long time, 

and that is learning to become

a HOOKER, a rug hooker, that is!

I bought some wool from Margie of

Hungry Hook Primitives and some 

online, I read her tutorials, (which 

are great) and I started....I want to

thank Margie for her help, she is so

nice and helpful! I know 

that I was making my loops too 

short and too close together, when 

I first started, but with more 

practice, I got better at it....

I know the hook I have is short, 

which makes it hard for me to get 

the woolies through, without 

twisting them. It is taking me, what 

seems like forever, but I am not 

going to give up! Working with the

big hoop, is not easy, either.

Here is what I've gotten done, 

so far.....I am not too sure I like

real dark in the hearts, will see

how it looks when I get the 

black done....I was thinking

on making this a chair pad, but

I think I will just make it a 

candle mat.

 So, that is what I have been up to,

lately....I see this is going to be an

obsession! I might be slow at it, but 

I love it!

I have some goodies to show you 

all, that I found and I won a 

couple giveaways, so I want to 

share those with you.

I would also like to welcome

my newest followers! I appreciate

you all and love your comments!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you

all are having a great day!

Until next time~
