So Far...

My vacation has been great! But, it's half over and that makes me sad. Sure is going by in a hurry. I'd never go to work again if I could stay home...as in, if I was independently wealthy. I sure have plenty to keep me busy, ya know?!



Yesterday, I worked on my online course assignments for the better part of the day. AND, then I hit a big snafu, but got that fixed today. Orientation is tomorrow...I think I'm ready.



I've been hooking...here's how far I am on Kim's rug. The flower is still not that pink. And, as you can see, I'm 'tweaking' it as I go along. I think the dog is beagle/beaver mix...get that tail! YIKES!





I finished sewing the backing to one (out of four) of the pillow tops I had hooked for the grandkids. I need to visit Wal-Mart and pick up a box of polyester fiberfil...I'll take photos when they are pillows.


The dogs think my being home all day is great! Not sure why...all they do is lay around, anyway!



I issued a challenge on Wool Snippets tonight...NEW LIFE challenge...hook anything that means 'new life' to you...a specific size rug, but no limit to one's imagination/creativity. Hope it goes over well and a bunch of people sign up for it. Time will tell. I have an idea for my rug...not telling, though. {grin}

Night!

Monday, Monday...

I didn't get much accomplished from my list this weekend, but did get some good hooking time in. Did laundry and dishes and stuff like that. Today, I've worked on my course and bought a new tire. Yup, one of my tires went flat on me...luckily it was while the car was in the garage, rather than when I was on the highway. It was almost bald and needed to be replaced...I had just been putting it off.

Allegra and Tag absolutely crack me up! Tag lays with his toy (usually his ball) and lets Allegra chew on him! All the while she's doing that, she makes noises that sound like bear cubs (well, I don't know...seems like a sound a bear cub would make to me!)...ya know, "awwwwwwrrr" and generally just chewing him out. They get along so well...he has the utmost respect for her and she thinks he's just a doofus! ha!


See ya tomorrow!
