<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and only two more days until the weekend. I am ready to hide eggs for Emma to find. I think she will have a wonderful time hunting them...she loves to be outside..can't wait. Her picture with the Easter Bunny went alright. He was walking around the shop when we arrived and she shook hands with him, touched his fur and talked to him. It was a different story when it was time to sit with him. Not what she had in mind. So here are the results.</span><br />

Ashlee didn't have the stroller which was fine with Emma. She likes to walk and run and stop and fall down and have you pull her up by her hands. She says hi to everyone that passes and even tries running after the runners that pass her. She definitely gets her exercise. We stopped and played on the playground before heading back to the car. She likes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">to ride on Poppy's shoulders too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Well it's getting late and I still want to do a little more hooking on my rug before I head to bed so better close for now. Have a good week...</span><br />

I am still around, just not on the computer as much since tax season began. I retired from SBC ten years ago this month, but have gone back to work for my husband full time. Our daughter, Ashlee, decided to go back to school and get her degree as a dietician. So instead of trying to find someone and train them, I said I would work. What was I thinking!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, I have been rughooking some in the evening when I get home. I did finish a challenge rug with the ebay group I belong to. Kelley posted a picture of an antique rug and then everyone that wanted to participate did their version of the rug. It was lots of fun!! Here is mine:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I did a workshop in March with Sally Kallin of <a href="http://www.pineislandprimitives.com/">Pine Island Primitives</a></span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had bought one of her patterns a couple of years ago, so this was a good time to get started on it. It is called "Gently Down the Stream". She helped me color plan it and I got started on it, but didn't get too far.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It's going to take me awhile to finish this one. My goal is by the end of the year. I have also been working on my "Give Ye Thanks" rug that my friends, Ginger and Sandra, are also doing. We decided in January that we would all do this rug and have it finished in 3 months. We talked in February and decided we would change it to June. Well, Ginger finished hers already, but Sandra and I are still working on ours. I hope to have it done by the end of June. Haven't taken a picture of it yet, but will try to post one next time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Emma has been keeping me busy too. She is 20 months old and always on the go. I keep her all day on Tuesdays while Ashlee goes to school. Sometimes have her on Monday and Friday for a little while. With the weather being nice now, we get outside more. The other day she went into my sewing room and found my rughook and was sitting in the chair getting ready to do some hooking I guess. I had my camera close so I snapped a picture. I guess she has seen me sitting there and was trying to do what Nanna does.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a rug I have been working on from Karen Kahle's blog, <a href="http://primitivespirit.wordpress.com/">primitive spirit</a>. She has a tutorial on how to do a spiral chair pad. It is using all the strips I have accumulated from previous rughooking projects. Maybe I can teach Emma how to pull the loops thru and she can finish it for me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, that's pretty much what I have been doing the last few months. Did go to the hook-in in Lenexa KS in February and then the workshop in March. Getting ready for the workshop with Frank Bielec in May. Tax season will be over then, or at least not so pressing, and can concentrate more on crafty things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am going with Ashlee and Emma tomorrow to see the Easter Bunny and have pictures taken. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend so hope to get outside a little more and enjoy it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wishing everyone a great weekend and do something fun with your family and friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Happy New Year to everyone!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year. Emma came over and spent New Year's eve with us so that was the extent of our celebrating. She did ring in the New Year by staying up past midnight. </span><br />

He moved into an apartment in the city of Zihuatenajo before coming home for Christmas and was ready to get back there and get settled in before Jeff and I go down there to visit next week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Several years ago, I won a Christmas quilt top from a local quilt store in Oklahoma City during a shop hop. Well this past summer, I finally bought the backing for it and Danna (my sister-in-law) and I put it on the quilting machine so I could start quilting it. Well, I never did get time to get it started, but Danna would go to the studio and work on it. So the week before Christmas Danna comes by one evening and she hands me the quilt. It is beautiful!!!!!! She did so much more quilting on it than I would have done. I am one lucky gal to have such a wonderful sister-in-law in my life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Don't you just love this snowman pillow? <a href="http://snippetsandscrapsandpieces.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Joanne</a> was doing a giveaway on her blog and I was one of the lucky winners. She hooked it on a piece of wool and it is simply wonderful. I love it!!!!! Thank you so much, Joanne. Tell the boys thank you too!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been hooking on Emma's rug that I started in June and am almost finished. I will post a picture in a day or two. This is the pattern that Frank Bielec drew from a picture I had of Emma at Tyler Rug Camp in May. I was supposed to have it finished by her first birthday (July 13) but it didn't happen. I think because it is "pink". So watch for it in the next post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jeff and I went to a Christmas celebration he read about in the paper at Perkins, OK last Thursday evening. It is a small town and I think everyone was there to celebrate. They served frito chili pie, homemade desserts and hot cocoa. It was at the <a href="http://www.okterritory.org/" style="color: blue;">Oklahoma Territorial Plaza</a>. Several old buildings that had been moved there and restored were open to walk thru. Santa arrived on the local fire truck and kids were lined up waiting to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. We even took a hayride through a nearby neighborhood. It was a nice evening trip!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, I hope to get a Christmas tree this weekend and get some decorating done. Started my Christmas shopping and hope to do a little bit more this weekend, too. Hope to get some baking done too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A cold front came thru this evening and I hope it stays cold for awhile. I like the cold weather especially during Christmas time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have a great weekend and enjoy time with family and friends.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, this was our starting point on Friday at <a href="http://firstmondaycanton.com/" style="color: blue;">Canton</a> TX, First Monday Trade Days. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was our first time to be here and there was so much to see. We started at 8am. Stopped for lunch at 12:30. Did more shopping and left about 2pm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We didn't even put a dent in seeing all that was available, but needed to head back home and decided there would definitely be more trips to First Monday in the future. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I came home with some old wooden bobbins and silver spoons. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Scrabble tiles, an old oil can and a glass star ornament for the Christmas tree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our trip began on Thursday morning driving to Lindale TX to meet with Jeff's niece, Donna and her husband, Wendell. We got there about 11:30am.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Jeff talked business with them and then we went to lunch. We said our good-byes and the fun part of our trip began.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We drove to Mineola, TX and spent the afternoon browsing the many antique stores there.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I liked this shop the best. Lots of vintage items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I found cookie cutters, vintage glass Christmas tree ornaments and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a Scrabble game with lots of tiles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm going to use them to make some ornaments with old yardsticks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The color of this shelf caught my eye. I could see lots of possibilities</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but when I saw the price tag, $345, decided I would have to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">let it remain at the store.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We walked around to see some of the other sites. I snapped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> a picture of this house because I liked the porch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm sure in its early days it was spectacular.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With Thanksgiving celebrations over, I guess it is time to start thinking about Christmas. Every year it seems that the month of December gets here a little quicker. Guess I better start looking for the lights and decorations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. We ate lunch at my Mom's home. My brother, Jim, provided the turkey and ham, along with BBQ ribs. He has this thing about BBQ. Ribs were really good though. He has lived in Maui for the past 20 years and he and his wife, Paula(whom he married while in Maui) have moved back to Oklahoma. His daughter, Jamie and her boyfriend, Carl, came over to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Carl has never been off the island or even flown in an airplane so it has been a new experience for him. On Friday, Jim and family left to go show Carl some sights in Oklahoma. Other family there was my brother, Andy, and wife, Sharon, our daughter, Ashlee, Dom and of course, Emma, my cousin, Mary Margaret and her husband, Bobbie and their daughter, JoLynn and of course, Jeff, me and my Mom. Our son, Nick stayed in Mexico, but did get to have Thanksgiving dinner at <a href="http://www.playaviva.com/" style="color: blue;">Playa Viva</a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> Ellena, Alex and the boys stayed home in Puerto Rico and celebrated Thanksgiving with friends. Everyone had a wonderful time visiting and no one went home hungry!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ashlee came over Sunday afternoon and got her tree and decoration. Looks like Emma was a big help in decorating the tree. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been working on some goodies for a Christmas swap we do each year on an ebay group I belong to. Will try and post some pictures later. I haven't pulled them off my camera yet. This is an awesome group and feel privileged to be a part of it...lots of talented ladies in this group...you can check them out under <span style="color: blue;">usaprim</span> on ebay. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well guess I better close and head for bed. Got a busy week of work ahead but hope to take a road trip on Thursday to check out First Monday in Canton, TX. Have a great week and do something kind for a stranger. Tis the season of giving...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I did remember to take a picture of this small white feather tree I made out of white wool. I made 10 of them and think they turned out really cute. Will be working on some other items this weekend and will try to remember to take pictures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ginger and I have decided to offer some of our handmade primitives on a new blog, <a href="http://www.prairiemoonprimitives.blogspot.com/">Prairie Moon Primitives</a>.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Emma and I hung out together on Wednesday and Thursday. The weather has turned cold again and we couldn't go outside. So we played inside. She entertained me with her musical talents on the xylophone.</span><br />

is kiss the pictures on the wall. First, she gives her picture a kiss

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Our friend, Sandra, came out to help us at the festival. Thursday turned out to be kind of a slow day, but we enjoyed each others company and getting to sit and visit. I think Sandra did get some of her Christmas shopping done throughout the day. Now, back to the food. On Friday, I arrived about 8am to do some finishing on the booth. Jeff brought me since I was leaving at 5pm to attend the induction ceremony into the Alpha Pi Nu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for our daughter, Ashlee. Breakfast was homemade biscuits and sausage gravy or homemade cinnamon rolls. We settled on the biscuits and gravy since the cinnamon rolls were not finished baking yet, but they sure did smell good. Lunch was Indian tacos and three kinds of homemade pies..coconut, chocolate and pecan. We were so full from the tacos, there was no room for pie just yet. I did get a piece of coconut to go the share with Jeff later in the evening. About 2pm, Ginger went to get some tea and they had just finished making fried pies. Well, couldn't pass those up..they were still hot. Apricot or lemon...I got apricot..my favorite. They were DEEELICIOUS!!!!!! So we all left that evening definitely full, in fact, almost miserable because none of us usually eat that much food in one day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our daughter, Ashlee,decided last fall to go back to school to become a registered dietician. We are so very proud of her as she is also raising our beautiful granddaughter, Emma. She has worked very hard this past year and was accepted into the program starting in January. She has maintained a 3.8 GPA and was inducted into the Alpha Pi Nu Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society on Friday evening. Jeff, me and Emma attended the ceremony.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, I never thought about being in an earthquake and surely, never thought one would happen in Oklahoma. But early Saturday morning, around 2:15am, I experienced one. I have a craft show this weekend, Nov 11 and 12, so I was finishing up some projects when it happened. It sounded like the wind had started blowing really, really hard. The roof was creaking and then the windows started rattling. The dishes in the cabinet were rattling when I went to see what was happening outside. I thought a storm was coming. Didn't last very long and when I tried to wake up Jeff, he just rolled over. Told him I thought we had just had an earthquake. He looked up and said ok and went back to sleep. Had the TV on, but nothing on about it. Such a spooky feeling, I couldn't go to sleep so stayed up until about 4am. Did get a lot done, though ((-:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Saturday night about 11pm it happened again, only this time I knew what it was. When it started Jeff looked at me with a puzzled look. I told him it was another earthquake. This one lasted longer than the first one. Anyway, it was a scary feeling to feel the house shake and things rattle and move. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today, we have been under a tornado watch. There was some tornadoes in southwest Oklahoma this afternoon that did damage some homes and businesses. Didn't hear about any injuries so hopefully everyone was in their hidey holes during the storms. Never know what might happen here in Oklahoma. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be sure and sign up for my giveaway. You can read about it in my previous post. Drawing will be on Sunday, November 13. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Well, I finally reached post 100 last Wednesday. Yaaaay!!!!! So I am going to do a giveaway to those who follow and read my blog. The picture above are the goodies you will receive from me if you are the winner. They are all handmade by me. Leave a comment on this post and you will be entered in the giveaway. I will draw a name on Sunday, November 13, 2011.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today was my day off from work and I spent it with Ashlee and Emma. We went shopping for a birthday present for my great nephew, Eli, who is turning one. Emma enjoyed looking at all the toys and pushing the buttons on the ones that made noise. We came home with a toy camera that teaches counting and says "Cheese" when you push the button. Also bought him a couple of warm outfits for the winter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So plans for this weekend are to celebrate Eli's first birthday on Saturday. The rest of the weekend is getting stuff ready for a craft show next Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12. My friend, <a href="http://primitivesbythelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/">Ginger</a>, and I signed up to do this craft show during the summer, but I seem to always wait until the last minute to get things done. Guess I work better when facing a deadline.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The weather here in Oklahoma City turned cold on Wednesday. We had our first freeze in Oklahoma City last night so it's about time for those winter coats to come out of the closet. Emma arrived at the house with her new winter coat. She found these Halloween glasses and had to try them on. Such a funny little girl!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, I really mean to post more often than I do, but it just doesn't seem to happen. So here is what I have been doing this past week or so.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jeffrey had a business meeting in McAlester, OK on Thursday morning, so I suggested we take a road trip and see the fall foliage between Talihina, OK and Mena, AR. So we headed out Thursday morning for another road trip. It started raining as soon as we hit the highway and rained the whole way to McAlester. We ate at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whistle-Stop-Bistro">Whistlestop Bistro</a> in the old part of McAlester. Delicious sandwiches and soup are served there. Across the street was an antique store and I just had to make a quick walk thru it. I came out with a 2-ft paper mache St. Nick and a box full of old quilt blocks for $10. We headed down the road to Talihina with the rain. I think the rain clouds were following us, but I guess it was ok 'cause we surely need the rain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As we drove into Talihina, I saw a sign for an old fashion soda fountain and suggested we stop and check it out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After a plate of french fries, a hot fudge sundae and a raspberry flavored soda float, we headed back to the car. It was 4:30 and still raining so we decided to stay in Talihina for the night. The drive thru the mountains would be better seen with the sun shining and the weather man said the rain would be gone on Friday. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had also noticed a sign for a bed and breakfast as we were driving, so we decided that we would find it and see if they had a room available. It was just around the corner from the soda fountain. <a href="http://www.hootiecreekhouse.com/">Hootie Creek House Bed & Breakfast </a> is an old hotel building that was purchased by Essex and Carolyn Webb. She did have a room available, so we checked in and decided we would let our ice cream settle before thinking about supper. About 7:30pm we decided to find somewhere to eat for supper. This being a small town we were hoping something would be open late. Carolyn recommended a place called "Pam's Hateful Hussy" that stayed open until 9pm.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A strange name for an eating establishment but not much else to choose from. I had chicken fried steak, salad, and baked potato. Jeffrey saw fried chicken livers on the menu and just had to have them. The food was delicious! We left stuffed and ready to retire for the evening.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Carolyn had the place decorated for Halloween and I couldn't resist taking some pictures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Got up the next morning to a wonderful breakfast prepared by Carolyn. Essex gave us a tour of the rest of the building that they were working on. It was a wonderful place to stay and I would recommend it highly. We left around 10am to start our drive across the Ouachita Mountains.The sun was shining and it was going to be a beautiful drive. We drove thru clouds as we got higher up into the mountains. The trees had started changing colors, but I think there will be more color in the next few weeks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was a nice, relaxing drive, and we were glad we waited until Friday. There was not much traffic and so we took our time and stopped at several of the turnouts to look out across the valleys. We arrived in Mena, AR about 2pm. We checked out a couple of antique stores. I found an old fruit box, an old crock, and an old cabinet door panel. We headed back to Oklahoma on a different highway which turned out to be just as scenic. We arrived back in Talihina about 5:30pm and ate at Pam's again. This time we had old-fashioned hamburgers and the best homemade coconut pie I have had in a long time. So this was another get-away road trip we took in October.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And now for some Emma pics....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After three weeks of day and night tax work, we finally hit the road for a day of fun and relaxation. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now you may not think that driving is relaxing but Jeffrey does. So after my dental appointment this morning, we headed south for some places to visit. We had driven by them on previous trips but did not have time to stop and check them out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First stop was in Noble at an antique shop called Ripleys. We didn't stay too long there as there was not much that interested me. I did buy a tall basket to hold some hooked rugs and a small doll trunk. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next stop was Deanna's Architectural Salvage in Ada. Just let me say I didn't even make a dent in this place. Inside alone there is probably 10,000 square feet of 'stuff' to look out. We started looking outside first and still didn't even see all that was outside.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After all that shopping, we headed to Davis OK for some BBQ at Smokin Joes. Some friends had told us about this place. Said it was really good BBQ. We got there about 3:15 and they were out of ribs and chicken, but said they would have some ready by 4. So we decided to wait. Since we were starving we split a chopped beef sandwich with french fries. It was very good and we should have stopped there, but we had already ordered ribs and chicken to eat when it was ready at 4. Well out came the ribs and chicken and we did eat a small amount but most of it came home with us. There is lunch and dinner for the next couple of days ((-:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before heading back to Oklahoma City, we stopped at a garden center that had white pumpkins. Every year I buy white pumpkins and this year I could not find any in the city. Found a neat striped looking pumpkin too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thought I would show you what I did at Happy Trails Rug Camp. I have done oxford punch before with Frank so I worked on stuff in the evening after camp was over. I did some of the small ornaments he had given us patterns for. I need to put antlers on the reindeer and a squiggly vine on the pumpkin. Then hangers on them to use them as ornaments. Super quick to punch and plan on doing more for Christmas tags on presents.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> And a first for me: My sister-in-law, Danna, is a very talented quilter and decided last year to enter a couple of her quilts in the Oklahoma State Fair for the first time. She won ribbons on them and was so excited that this year she entered again. Well, she talked me into entering a hooked rug. You don't know if you won anything until you go to the fair and look for them in the displays. So on the opening day of the fair we went that evening and started looking for our entries. Well, Jeff was the first to spot mine and guess what...I got a blue ribbon..I was so excited!! So I guess I could say that is one thing off my bucket list...enter something in the State Fair.</span><br />

She turned 15 months on October 13.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since I have been working more, I don't get to see her quite as often, usually a couple of times during the week and sometimes on Saturday.

Saturday I spent watching college football games and binding a couple of rugs. Sunday I spent outdoors doing some yard work and bringing out fall decorations. I was going to post on Sunday night, but got busy getting things together for our upcoming "Happy Trails Rug Camp" at <a href="http://www.primitivesbythelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/">Ginger's</a> house beginning Thursday, September 29.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So here is what I have been doing this past week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I enjoy hooking rugs but always put off binding them. Not my favorite thing to do. However, I learned a new method of binding and so I don't mind it so much anymore. These two rugs have been hooked for awhile so glad to finally have them finished. The first rug was drawn by Ginger. Ginger, Sandra and I were going to do a rug every 3 months and Ginger was going to design them. I think Ginger designed 2 or 3 but this is the only one I have done.</span><br />

It was their first hook-in and I do believe it was a huge success!!!!! Ginger and I definitely helped their economy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We left Friday morning and made a couple of stops along the way. In Tulsa,OK we stopped at the <a href="http://www.silverneedle.biz/">Silver Needle</a>.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A wonderful needlework shop. We bought a few patterns. We ate lunch in Tulsa and got back on the road to our destination. Well almost, we had planned one more stop in Rogers, Arkansas. A nice little quilt and rughooking shop called <a href="http://www.therabbitslair.com/">The Rabbit's Lair</a>.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We browsed the shop, bought some fabric and patterns and then headed north to Warsaw. Well, we did see a Braum's ice cream store as we were coming into town so we HAD to go back and have ice cream before we hit the road!!! To save time, we went thru the drive-thru and then again headed north to Warsaw.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We arrived in Warsaw about 6pm, found our lodging for the night and then went to locate the Community Center where the hook-in was going to be on Saturday. It faces the Truman Lake and was a perfect spot for a hook-in. Wanted to make sure we could find it easily the next day and not waste anytime ((-: We found it, decided where we would be parking the next day and then went to supper at the Rusty Skillet, a little cafe on Main Street.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When we arrived back at our lodging for the night, no parking places to be found close to our room. There were trucks with boats behind them everywhere. Men walking all around with tackle boxes, etc. To make a long story short, we decided this was the lodge for all the fishermen. Needless to say, we only saw one other lady. So we went to our room, barred the door and hoped it would be quiet. We did get a good night's sleep and woke up ready to go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The hook-in was awesome!!!! Some great vendors were there: Wendy Miller of <a href="http://www.theredsaltbox.com/">The Red Saltbox</a>, Maggie Bonanomi with her new book, Anita White, Melissa Towne, Shawn Williams of Threads That Bind, Need'love, Vicki Hardcastle, and Primitive Stitches. That is all I can remember but I'm sure there were 2 or 3 more. Anyway we had a great time there and in the afternoon we went shopping around the town at antique stores. Headed home to OKC about 3pm and arrived safe and sound. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I took pictures of some of the rugs on display at the show so here they are:</span><br />

My last post was around Easter time, so it has been awhile. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Summer was very, very busy and oh so hot!!!! Ashlee decided to take some classes in the summer, 12 hours to be exact, so Emma and I spent a lot of time together. It was great, although we spent a lot of time inside because of the heat. Oklahoma had 61 days of over 100 degree weather so being outside was not an option most of the summer. We are also experiencing a very dry summer. Very little rain has fallen and the lakes and ponds are really drying up. September has brought us cooler temperatures, but not a lot of rain yet. The fair starts on Thursday, September 15 and it usually rains during that time so maybe we will get some much needed rain.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also had surgery on my right knee for 2 meniscus tears and some cartilage repair. I spent 8 weeks in physical therapy and am doing better, but still working on getting more range of motion and flexibility.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My Emma turned 1 on July 13. I can't believe a year has past since she was born. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. She started walking at 10 months and has not </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">slowed down since. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I see her 3-4 times a week and she is growing so fast even now. She repeats words you say to her and even makes up some of her own. Here are some pictures of her I took this summer.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I made brunch food - a fresh asparagus quiche, broccoli quiche, bacon, fruit salad, and of course, biscuits and gravy. Mom brought some lemon-pumpkin muffins that were delicious. Ashlee made sugar cookies with pastel M&M's. Needless to say, we did not leave the table hungry.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In true Oklahoma tradition, when you want the weather to be nice so the children can enjoy Easter egg hunts and such, it rains! Of course, no complaints from me, because we so needed the rain. It lasted most of the day. At times it was nice and slow and then it would start pouring, but any kind of rain was more than welcome here.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So Emma's Easter egg hunt was in the living room floor. She had a great time and enjoyed biting each thing she pulled out of her basket.</span></span><br />

It is sunny and windy with a temperature of 90 degrees. Wow!!! Tomorrow is supposed to be cold again. Supposed to be 37 in the morning. This weather just can't seem to make up its mind.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last week was busy and this week promises much of the same. Headed to the office later this evening to work so thought I might try to update my blog this afternoon. </span><br />

It is about 2 1/2 feet larger with more light and more customer exposure. We must have had more stuff in our original space than we thought, 'cause just when it seemed we were done, more would appear. Danny, Ginger's hubby, helped us move the big stuff and set it back up in our new spot.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last Wednesday I took my Mom to the airport and before heading back to work I went to the thrift store close to the office. Here are some cool things I found. Only one thing was over a dollar. Some of my treasures will be used in the fall, but I couldn't pass them up for 99 cents or less.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

She sent me a green wool army blanket, a large blue wool piece, popcorn and the some granola thins with dark chocolate. Well, I ate one package of the granola thins immediately. It was so good. She said she got them at Costco, but no Costco here so will have to look elsewhere. It was such a pleasant surprise. She and the other women in our group, An American Primitive Gathering, are always sending RAKs. (Random Acts of Kindness). It always brings a smile knowing someone was thinking of you.</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN9NZb3vVXge82GzBLLGVlhncTjIpJd8cs7s8n1JW3bILgusAMUelo8byd5lOdxVOUCx7GiIL-1WvsE8UrhmhpcPBIoRiHxIGNQfxaTKzr6lA9MEZi5dJAU9oiDMpMCQYb17ZejyCtD5hX/s1600/emma..thrift+finds...moving+day+047.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN9NZb3vVXge82GzBLLGVlhncTjIpJd8cs7s8n1JW3bILgusAMUelo8byd5lOdxVOUCx7GiIL-1WvsE8UrhmhpcPBIoRiHxIGNQfxaTKzr6lA9MEZi5dJAU9oiDMpMCQYb17ZejyCtD5hX/s400/emma..thrift+finds...moving+day+047.jpg" width="400" /> </a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As you know, I also take care of Emma during the week. She is 8 months old and quite a handful. She is crawling everywhere and pulls up to stand wherever she can. She has been practicing her balance, so before long she will probably be taking that first step. Then the fun begins. She is hard keeping up with now while crawling. Imagine I will need to put my running shoes on from then on. She dislikes being put in her car seat to go somewhere, but insists on it being on the floor to play in.</span><br />

I will have to practice more because I am sure I missed one or two on this, but I still like the way it turned out. I stained it with walnut ink crystals and put it in a frame I found at the thrift store for 49 cents. It came with its own little easel. </span><br />

Won't have any pictures because I don't have my camera with me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On Wednesday, I spent a wonderful day with Ginger and Sandra. We met at Country Collections. Ginger did a little shopping while she was there. We left around noon and had lunch at Del Rancho...the home of the Steak Sandwich Supreme. We each ordered one and ate the whole thing, but we didn't order french fries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We went to an Army surplus store looking for army blankets. They had some but they were gray and really, really thick. Not what we were looking for so we left and headed for the thrift stores.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First store, I found some pictures frames. Sandra bought a red wool skirt and I can't remember what Ginger bought.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The second store I found three wood croquet balls, a wall basket, couple more picture frames, some children's books, and a twin bed headboard. Ginger found some picture frames, baskets, blue glass bottles, books, and a headboard. We are going to make signs with the headboards. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So that was our fun Wednesday. I had to head home around 4pm to take care of Emma while Ashlee went to her evening class. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will try to post pictures in a day or two. Guess I better get back to work...</span><br />

Jeff had to go to a meeting in Austin, TX today so no reason for me to go to the office. I took him to the airport this morning and will pick him up this evening. The day was all mine to do whatever I wanted. Even Emma had plans..she was spending the day with her Momma and Poppa. Ashlee's last day of spring break before classes resume next week.</span><br />

Our first stop was Savage Quilter quilt shop. I bought fabric to make Emma a pair of bloomer pants. Sandra bought a quilt book...Table Toppers by Fons & Porter. We also went to Joann's. I bought the flower basket for Ashlee and the blue fat quarters for March theme for AAPG. </span></span><br />

I am so ready for spring. I hope to have a garden this year, but haven't really started working the area where I want it. With tax season, not too much gets done until after April 15. I did buy a grapevine ivy for my office though.

Prices range from 49 cents to $1.98 being the most expensive. Good prices for frames with glass. Some small tin loaf pans for pincushions and an small old muffin tin. The feather tree was 99 cents. </span><br />

I hope to get back to blogging on a more regular basis, but time will tell.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had a wonderful Christmas holiday with family. Nick was home for 3 weeks and we all had a great time together. He got to spend lots of time with his niece, Emma.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">January arrived and tax season began. Ashlee (daughter) has been working with us for the last 3 years and has decided to go back to school to become a dietician. I told Jeffrey I could work in her place (what was I thinking, I am supposed to be retired) but really I don't mind. He is pretty good about letting me off when I want. I still go to rughooking once a month and even get to go thrift store shopping with <a href="http://www.primitivesbythelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/">Ginger</a> and Sandra. Just not as much computer time as I used to have though to blog and talk with my ebay group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">February came and I went to Lenexa, KS for the Rock Creek Hook-in with Ginger and Sandra. We left on Thursday, Feb 24 and came back on Sunday. We stopped in Americus, KS to see Betty's new studio. It is awesome!!!! If I can find the pictures Sandra sent me I will post some. <a href="http://primitivebettys.blogspot.com/">Betty</a> did a great job painting and decorating. A nice cozy place to spend the day stitching and rughooking.</span><br />

Nick was home for spring break and just went back to DC last Wednesday. Had a nice visit and even the weather wasn't too bad. He got to get in a motorcycle ride while he was here. Emma had a great time with her uncle. He was amazed at how much she had changed since Christmas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I share an antique booth space with Ginger and so my time for creating is usually late at night and on the weekends. After April 15, maybe things will slow down a little.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I keep Emma (granddaughter) during the week, too. She is 8 months old and has been crawling everywhere and already trying to walk. I told her she just needed to wait a couple more months for that milestone, but I don't think she is listening to me. She and I spend time at the office together while Ashlee is in school.</span><br />
