Life's little unexpected.....!

Well, I was planning on writing a blog entry about a trip I had booked to Long Lake, New York.  I was leaving today for a bit of r & r mixed with business. However, life has a way of changing ones plans unexpectedly!

This morning, as I was preparing my bags and all, Stephen rushed into my sewing room yelling some colourful adjectives.  Dripping, he tells me that "I drove a chisel through my hand".  Yes, off to the emergency we went.   He now requires surgery to re-attach the tendon to the mid section of his index finger, which needs to take place within 48 hours.  And they say rotary cutters are dangerous!

So, in lieu of a post on the beauty of Long Lake, New York, I will share with you a recent penny rug I completed! ;o)



The pattern is called Spooky Cat Candle Mat by Stacy West of Buttermilk Basin!

I love the way it turned out!  My little Pumpkin helped me out by stitching two (2) of the mouths! :)

Have I mentioned that I'm hooked on wool?!  Yep, like I needed more hand work projects! lol

And you know what?  He looks great with my cauldron candle! ;o)



Thanks for stopping by! Boo!
