Definitely On Schedule!!!

I'm so happy everything is working on the schedule planned so all rugs will be bound and ready for Cape May.  Magdalena's Rooster, Duck and Horse is all hooked, steamed and the binding stitched on the back; it just needs to be tacked down.
The Thin Blue Line is almost completely whipped, it just needs the corners and short end finished and label attached.
And believe it or not even the rat's nest around my hooking area has been cleaned up, colors separated and put into the proper color baggies.  

In a previous post I mentioned already having drawn a small project and  larger one ready to go ~ you know, that withdrawal thing.  This is in addition to the class project so I'll have something to work on before Bev gets to me in class.  So you can imagine how pleased I am with myself 😌.  

Happy hooking and happy Labor Day.

ONLY Happy News Here Tonight

While I am aware of international and hurricane news I'd like to put our mindset on something more calming.  Most recent is an email that Cape May rug camp will actually happen!!!!!!!  Thank you Linda Woodbury and Cyndi Stinson who are the co-directors of the wonderful event which has been confirmed via email today.

Going back in time....the last Anniversary year Norma and Linda provided each guest with a basic foundation and just a sheep drawn.  We were  provided that so each of us could create our own design.  I was in the second week of camp but started posting my progress on my blog WAY before rug camp.  You can read about my journey HERE.

This was my design.  While I cannot give an explanation as to why a sheep was at the shore line I can give testimony that wool happens in Cape May just two block away!!
Oh Happy Days that I'll be at Cape May again this year!!!!!!

It's time for an update on Magdalena's Rooster, Duck and Horse rug.  Yeah I'm almost done and truly thought about waiting until the final corner was hooked before showing it.  But at least I know it will be finished in time for Cape May.
Other good news is that humidity and temperatures will soon be dropping.  Yeah, there's that stuff going on in the ocean but it is a natural phenomenon which occurs annually to change the seasons.  Some I don't like but am looking forward to long sleeve weather 😏

Find something you enjoy, like knitting, hooking, applique, etc. and focus on the positive.  Whatever you enjoy as your 'go to happy place' good for you.
