~*Hooking!!!*~

Hello Dear Friends!  I'm soooooo happy to tell you that I have been hooking!  I have been working on PRIMS too!!!  

I was feeling a little off my path... and it feels so nice to be seeing the direction get back the way I want it to go!

This past Tuesday was our rug hooking day in Council Grove.  We didn't meet for long because there were family members visiting many of the ladies... but we did meet, hook, giggle, and laugh.

Here are a few of the items I have finished up from the week...


Some reclaimed stools... before...
 And after...
 Sunflower hooked top for one...
 with some prairie grass, green chalk paint on the stool...
 Hit N' Miss hooked top for the other...
 with some barn red, chalk paint on the stool...
 I attached the hooked tops with upholstery tacks.  It was simple... and if someone decides to change out the tops later... they still can.  NO GLUE!  *smile*

This past Friday, Trinity and I had a day together in Manhattan.  We visited the Flint Hills Discovery Center (which was AWESOME!), the mall, stopped for some frozen yogurt... and did a little junking at a couple thrift shops.  It was there that I found this little cradle.  I forgot to take a 'before' picture... but here is the after...
My old, and very well loved doll, is a little big... but it is still prim~cute!

Wishing you warm smiles...
