Home from Baton Rouge

I got home from Baton Rouge on Friday night after a long drive home.  I left Baton Rouge and spent Thursday night in Vicksburg Mississippi.  I stayed at the Diamond Jack casino hotel---after checking in I made a short visit to the casino---way too smoky for my liking---so I lost my $15 and bought a muffeletta and went back to my room and watched some TV before crashing.  I got on the road by 6:45 AM and started home.  I killed a couple of hours having lunch with my nephew in Little rock and hit an antique mall where I bought an old rug hook for 50 cents on a half price rack---good find!  I was pooped when I got home about 8:30 PM.  I didn't unpack until Saturday and it is still not put away.

What a great workshop!  Here is a picture taken at the end of camp---a few students had already left.

Here are a few pictures from the workshop.

Sorry this rug is sideways---Gail hooked this rug when she was in my class several years ago---so nice to see it finished,  It is Lib Callaway's "Comstock".  Note the braided edge.  Great job!

I had three people in my class hooking Paisley Hex, A house of Price pattern designed by jane Flynn---they all wanted to hook it similar to mine---they all did a great job!  Suzy's is upper right and she is going to add more borders to hers, an Karen is top left---she was fast, and Barbara's loops were perfect!

Here  is the finished version of mine.

On Tuesday night I did a lecture about paisleys---here is Capri modeling one of my shawls.

I am watching the grammy's tonight---so I'd better sign off and pay attention---as well as clean up the dinner dishes!
