Home from Green lake

Well I got home from Green Lake on Friday a 6:15 PM after a long days drive.  I woke up at 5 AM and decided to hit the road so that I could make it all the way home.  I had to make several stops to keep me from nodding off---one antique shop yielded a tea leaf dish and 3 celluloid hairbrushes that I thought would make good brushes for brushing off the snips off a rug on a hooking frame.  At another one I got two nice country baskets.  I picked up another book on tape in Madison and since I didn't get it finished I got to listen to more of it today on the way to the trailer at the lake---I know---CRAZY!  But we decided we wouldn't be able to get back down to winterize it since I am leaving Sunday for Maryland and then when I get home I will be getting ready for two workshops in Nebraska and then I will be going to South Central Teacher's workshop in Texas.

I spent Saturday and Sunday unpacking and repacking for Buckeystown Workshop---4 big boxed on their way via UPS this morning at 8 AM on our way to the lake.  It turned out to be a good day to leave because our street is being resurfaced and we had to be off the street from 7AM this morning until 6 PM tonight.

I actually got to spend some time hooking today on the way to the lake---I am doing another variation on a Grenfell mat for a class that I am teaching at Teacher's workshop---I wanted to do one with some yarn and with a small border so it will be easier to make it round---here is the start of it.  Did you know that some of the best Grenfell mats had 200 loops per square inch---now that is fine work!!!

Here are some picture from my class at Green Lake.

We had a wonderful week at camp---the weather couldn't have been more perfect!  Green Lake is a great camp in a beautiful lake setting.

This was taken early one morning when I went on a bike ride.

these were my lamb lollipops on Hooker's night out at the Treasury restaurant ion ripon---so yummy!!!

this is a pattern called Sharon's Halloween Yard , a Primco design---I hooked this about 12 years ago but it seemed like a good idea to pull it out for the rug show

These are pictures from my mini class---a hooked journal cover with a pumpkin on the cover

I was very excited to see this rug hooked by Karen---she started it at a workshop that I taught several years ago with The Loopy ladies in Libertyville IL---what a great job she did!  It is an inch mat---I wonder how many inches there really are.

My poor husband went to pick up the jet skis that were bing fixed 1 1/2 hours away---he got back and the small jet ski wouldn't work---he was not happy to say the least and had to turn around and drive back---I guess he will need some pampering tonight---and a beer!

Okay that is it for today!
