The detour was fun.....for a while. But have missed rug hooking so it is time for me to take a break. I'm at the age now where if it isn't fun then stop doing it and do what makes you happy.
Today I purchased a few more magnets so will make a couple more to take to Cape May plus one which someone ordered. Definitely won't work on them today since I just finished hand stitching the green one after lunch and need my hooking fix.
Tomorrow is my grandson's birthday party so grandma will be there to celebrate his being a teen. With no hooking going on tomorrow will definitely need another hooking fix when I get home. Again, no pocket work being done tomorrow at all.
For sure want to finish up the next few pockets and be done with them so I can clean up the chaos in my wool room. There's wool on the floor, the wool which was neatly stacked fell into an empty spot behind the stack. Now it is a jumbled up mess. Besides, rug camp is getting closer and need to get far more orderly than I am.
Colleen, you are a NO-REPLY blogger so am unable to respond to your question personally. There is a way you can fix that so GOOGLE how to fix that problem.
Have a great evening.

Was almost done with the third one but needed to make a blog post before it got too late. Will save that one for tomorrows post.
As you can see there is a magnet at the top which holds scissors. The pocket at the bottom can hold a few hooks or snippets if you wish. Notice the stitching at the very bottom of the pocket? That is canvas which was stitched to reinforce the bottom and ensure the tips of the hooks wouldn't go thru the wool.
For the remainder of the night my plans are to hook on Turkey and Talloweberries. But tomorrow will finish #3 and will make one more to take to Cape May.
Have a great evening everyone.

Let's make that WOMAN at WORK.
Had a busy day running my boy to vet; more on that later in the post.
And am in the middle of making more handy hooker pockets to put in the camp store at Cape May when I go September second week. One is done with pennies. The magnet at the top holds the scissors and the pocket at the bottom could hold your various hooks or snippets. In case you are wondering, that beautiful horse hooked piece is something I purchased from talented Tonya Roby of MadHenPrims.
Am going to make 3 more and here is wool being considered for others with different designs and will have different colors.
Now for my boy Ben. I feel privileged to have both vets on duty when taking Ben this morning to Western Sussex Animal Hospital. At his annual visit last week and again this week the speen was enlarged. Plus the sonogram did show something suspicious. They are being cautious because Ben had a 'low grade mast cell tumor' removed in March this year and those often show up again.
Ben is now 8 years 3 months, a large boy and want to keep him as long as possible. Here he is totally wasted by today's doctor's visit. Hey Ben, I feel your pain I'm not fond of doctor appointments and tests either.
Then the bald belly where they wanted clean shots for the sonogram. Am so glad I wasn't there while they inserted the needle to retract fluid. They said he was a good boy. I say he's my almost perfect boy. Were it not for the vehicles with wheels thing...... he would be perfect. But I love him nevertheless.
Have a good evening and I'm hoping to pull a couple loops on Turkey and Tallowberies in a few minutes.
