Wool, Glorious Wool!
Of course, the true highlight of my woolly week was the wool sale at Cynthia Norwood's home. After our Guild luncheon , we were invited to go into Cynthia's stash and buy wool. She is getting ready to move back to Texas and needed to purge a bit. It was wonderful - I could have stayed for days! Hmmm...now that my wool is "organized" ( a term I will use very loosely), perhaps I have some room for more... I know that if I work at it hard enough, I will be able to justify more wool purchasing.
School is finally almost over. We are in the home stretch: Band Concert- done, Strings Concert - done, Spring Musical - done, Art Project Installation - done, Field Day - done...Yippee!
Liz ~ The wool looks great! I just love the feel of it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go to Cynthia's wool sale, but I could not justify taking a day off work to spend money on wool...lol! I bet there was a great selection of marvelous wool.
It is a gorgeous day today on the north coast and I really must get off this darned machine and get some yard work done.
Pug hugs :)

*****never enough wool!!! there is a funny story about rebecca erb color planning a rug
ReplyDeletein her old business location. apparently she
was staring at the woollies in the room and
as her husband happened to walk by he said,
"please don't tell me you don't have the
right color?"
the name for your website is great...we
had a clumber spaniel many years ago. he was
from some friends who were leaving the country for a tour in the diplomatic corps and couldn't
take him along. so, henry, arrived and lived
a very happy life with us for the next nineteen
years. he wanted to be included in everything
our children were doing and would not let a
closed door stop his need for inclusion. how
many vacuums have we gone through over the years with all of the pets. i have hooked primitive wide cuts for almost forty years and
they are all on the floor. they are also durable as can be witnessed in our homes
with all the kids, pets, friends, etc.
since i am new to the blogspots, having just retired, yours is a pleasure. the
rug you hooked for your anniversary is EXCELLENT!!! the choice for the background is
clearly indicative of your talent and you have
the eye for a great future in this craft. i am
not one to compliment needlessly. you have what it takes, excellent color sense, good
technique and a passion to coninually learn.
keep up the good work and as you continue to
"struggle" with the color planning know that
it will all click in a few more years. time and
patience will bring great results to your efforts...i promise!
enjoy your children because they do grow up
fast...we raised eight daughters. we also have
had british short hair cats, maine coon calico's and now a manx. all have been great
fun and especially our manx. truly a breed that
entertains and are the closest to a dog in the
cat world. try one sometime, you will be pleased.
you're a cut above the rest...keep up the
great work and hopefully some of these other
bloggers will notice your great work. they
have much to learn and you will be a great
teacher in this craft...study hard!!! the rewards will be yours.
Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement!
