I've been in the dye pots all week getting ready for the hook-in and for my upcoming classes in Green Lake,Wisconsin, Buckeystown, Maryland and also in Nebraska...a busy fall which I finish up with South Central McGown Teacher's workshop the first week in November.  Yikes!!!

What a messy pile of beautiful wool---I should be working downstairs getting this organized!  That is where I am headed as soon as I get through writing this.

We have gotten lots of rain yesterday and today---I think about 5 inches---we really needed it but does it have to come all at once.  Hope everyone in Louisiana and other areas affected by Isaac are doing well.


I have a date tonite---a dinner date with my husband---I plan to dress up and even put make-up on--woo hoo!!!  We are going to Bonefish for dinner---yummy!

Okay it's off to work I go...
