No one had a match so Charlene saved the day by going to the dye kitchen downstairs and lit a wick on the burner and then walked it back up the stairs not losing the flame. We risked burning down the place for you Mary so where the heck were ya?
Wednesdays are always the best days at the studio. Lots of laughter and eye candy to drool over, its a wonder we don't all have cavities! Above Patsy is getting ready for Christmas. Below Anne is holding her prize of a 3 Pack of Dorr Natural for winning the Pattern of the Month Club for August. To the right Anne is holding up Alice, there isn't much left to hook for the inside medallion and then to the border! Below Shelley has started hooking our new design called "Mummers". She came into the studio a few Saturdays back and saw it on the drawing table in being sketched. She was thrilled and then showed me pictures of a mummer's night they held last year and then played the Mummer's Song on her IPhone. She ordered a pattern right then and there. You can already tell it's going to be a fun, wow piece. Jen is working on this beautiful design by Leonard Feenan and is hooking it with all kinds of iridescent mediums. You can see more detail by clicking on the pictures to enlarge them. Lorraine is sailing right along on her Blue Rocks piece. Linda is hooking another Sam the dog and Pam is now on her water for her Koi. Heather is showing her wide cut geometric that is full of beautiful velour wool. It shimmers but unfortunately, the camera doesn't tell that tale. To the right this rug is classy plus. A colour palette of three, consisting of navy, gold and ivory makes for a very elegant rug. Heather and Patsy below were pictures taken from a previous hook-in. Patsy with another of her Christmas pieces. Mary told me she would be coming to the hook-in so I bought her a chocolate ganache cake to celebrate her birthday that was the following day. We waited, but she was a no show so we decided to light the candles and sing anyway. There was cake and we have mouths, not a difficult choice. Lorraine shot this video with her phone. Linda Ruth blew out the candles.

Yikes! Yes, I had every good intention of coming to the hook in, but was so busy at work I just had to do nothing when I got home. But thanks for the lovely gesture - and am glad the studio is still standing. xo.

I forgot to mention the video and your divine singing - it was just like being there.
