Hook-ins and doughnuts!

Too bad there isn't a scratch and sniff function! 
I seriously believe I should cast off the hooking hat and open a coffee shop in Mahone Bay.  Most folks around these parts wouldn't know what a real doughnuts tastes like and I'd like to educate them. Those just add water, poor facsimile doughnuts bought at the chain stores don't know the meaning of flavour.

People would come for miles around to sample my wares, and enjoy a cup of java. There's nothing better then dipping one of my doughnuts in a glass of milk or coffee.....it's one of those 'die and go to heaven' experiences.   I believe the word orgasmic was mentioned the other day.....that ought to tell ya how good they are!  I'll make them for next Wednesday's hook-in so all you gals that groaned about not being here, not to worry!

Sue is hiding behind her new project Celtic Snowflake Rug.  She is using variations of teal solids and plaids.  It's going to be stunning!

Aunt Audrey above is the daughter of my grandmother who had this delicious recipe for doughnuts.  Thanks Nana Marguerite Bird!

Sandy Bruce was visiting and joined the hook-in.  She had a sweet show and tell bag.  A little sculpted birdie sitting on a branch that follows around the back to the other side to show his house.  Sweet or is that tweet?   She loves birds and is currently hooking my Hummingbird Tree-O design.

Heather was working on Penny Rug medallions.

Sue having a bit of naughty fun.  I threatened to post it and she said okay.

Patsy is breezing right along.  She is the newest member of our group and fits right in like a comfy pair of slippers.

Full of doughnuts and hooking away!   You can almost hear the arteries clogging!  I somehow missed taking a photo of Armenia.  She's hooking the Initially Yours letter C for Corkum, or Cookie, her nickname.   How could I miss my sweet Armenia??

I've started my next Initially Yours pattern, the letter V, for my maiden name Veinotte.

I have so much fun at these gatherings and the doughnuts certainly didn't hurt. I agree on the idea of you selling them. Sooooooo good!

I have yet to see these doughnuts or taste one. Last time you made them you ate the one you saved for me. Here's hoping that next Wednesday night will be my chance. Mmm mmm, can't wait.
