I'm Hooked on Ewe

I started cross-stitching when I was younger, but when I wanted to go back to crafting a few years back, I couldn't find any designs that matched my decorating style (or lack thereof). About two years ago, I found a website that had primitive wool rug hooking instructions (NOT Latch Hooking) and a link to Ebay where they sold the kits with the pattern, instructions and all the wool you needed to complete the project. I thought they were quite spiffy and it looked as easy as cross-stitch. I've since completed three designs. Two are below....and a completed sunflower is MIA.

I decided to drag out all my crafting goodies on Saturday since I had a little extra time over the holiday weekend. I'm currently working on saltbox house and I have ordered some additional woolen projects to complete for the craft bazaar at church in October. Hopefully I'll keep the momentum going. This fall I'm going to try to complete a felt wall hanging like this.

One of my favorite website for ideas is Winterberry Cabin, however, there are a ZILLION websites out there I need to peruse. I plant to try some penny rugs, punch needle projects and stitcheries soon. If you see anything you love, let me know. No promises, but you might get a suprise one day. I love wool, but I can't exactly fill my entire house with it. :-)

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
