HOOKING AND A DEAD BRAIN!

On my last posting, I showed pictures of rugs being

worked on at the ATHA Mason/Dixon meeting.

These pictures continue with that meeting.

We are so lucky to belong to that group.  Among

our members are three wool vendors.  There

is always lots of heavenly pieces of wool to choose

from if you are in the market for wool  (and

who isn't?)

This is Barb looking over wool from one of the

vendors.  I think that is Bob with her.

 Look at this beautiful wool - all for sale.

 This is the table of another vendor.

It is so great to have these ladies come regularly

to the meetings.

The program for the last meeting was really interesting.

We divided into four groups and the groups

rotated every half hour to another station.  Four stations had been

set up.

 At this station Sharon is showing the ladies

how to crochet and edge on an oriental rug so that

fringe could be attached.

 This group is learning how to do

the herring bone stitch.

 This group is being shown how to frame

any size hooked piece.

This group is learning about prodding.

Now on to the DEAD BRAIN!

I have had a really busy week.  The only thing that

stayed home was my camera!!

BRAIN DEAD!

On Wednesday evening I had a delightful time. 

My great grand-daughter invited me to

dinner with she, her sister and her

sister fiancee.  We had a wonderful time.

We went to the best steak house in Hagerstown

and had a great meal.  The nice thing about these

grands is that they enjoy my company.  For some reason,

who knows why, they think I am the font of all information

and seems to love my stories of life "in the dark ages."

On Friday I attended a social hook-in at

Barb's house.  It was a delightful day.  Everyone

was in such a good mood.  Rosalie was knitting,

Sandy was pinniung together a sweater that she had just knit

amd everyone else was hooking.

Some really nice pieces are being made in this group.

On Saturday I went to a meeting

of the Boonsboro ATHA group.  It was a cold, rainy day

and not a lot of members showed up.

It was the kind of day that you just wanted to stay in bed.

Programs for the future were discussed

and Elinor shared with us her beautiful

Quilts.  Her work is so beautiful, and she is very

prolific.  We were all thrilled by her presentation.

On Sunday, yes out again, much to Eloise's

displeasure - to a bridal shower at the Holiday Inn.

A very nice affair for my oldest great granddaughter,

She is being married on November 4th

at the Cortland Mansion in Hagerstown.

This is why I say I am brain dead.  All of these

nice things and no pictures!  Don;t know how I could have been 

so thoughtless!

Thought for the day . . .

Life can be complicated

but happiness is really pretty simple.

Until next time

stay well, be happy an

tell your family that you love them.
