Day two was a beautiful day...

Today was a beautiful day in the Ozarks.The whole class went outside to have Tom take our picture.There are 11 of us in the class and they have been such a fun group.

Here is Anita and baby Layla having lunch.She loved the soup Adam made for us.

I thought this was so pretty.There is some about fine hooking,it is like painting with wool. This is the piece I have been working on.Her eyes are green. Here is Linda's bag.They had to put her hubby in the hospital last night so please pray for him.

Charleen's squirrel is so cute.

Aileen got a lot done today on her baby Jesus.

I wish you were here to she Libby's bird because it looks so real.Can't wait to see her red tail.(the bird is a girl)

This is Nita's 2nd fish and all I can say is "OhMyGoodness."

Anita finally had time to sit and hook.A new baby is making life busy for this mommy.





Live Deeply and go play outside.

Day Two of Class Two

Day two was a full day. I can't remember what Nola called this, but I think it is very cool.I need to try it soon so I don't forget it.Are you like that? The older I get the more I have to repeat something to get it to stick in my head. This is locker hooking.You can use any kind of fabric for it.I love the look of it and as soon as I find my hook/needle you use to do it I am going to try it.

Nola taught us so much.I know for me I will be trying some new things soon.Here the class is watching very closely.We did notwant to miss a thing.I hope some of the ladies will comment on what they did in class.

Meal time was a great time to get to know each other.Here is Charleen from Ar.,Karen from Mo,Anita from Ar, Sherri from Ok, and Nelda from Mo.And of course that is my food setting there waiting on me.I was head cook and bottle washer for the camp.Adam came in to do the alfredo sauce for pasta night. I think we all gained 5 pounds.

And to top the night off Carol Brown came in for massage therapy. After two days of hooking we all needed this rejuvenation.If you are ever in Eureka Spring you must lookup Carol. wwwcarolbrownmassage.com Charleen was one big puddle when Carol got done with her.

First Day for New Class,Day Six for Nola and I

Is there such a thing as to much wool ? Not when it come to a rug hooking camp.

This is just one students stack of wool. Nola is teaching the class of to do a french knot. Her long then hands work very fast as see demos many new stitches.

Here is Nola showing the completed knot as Charleen McCain looks on.Charleen is moving way out of her box in this class.

Looking over Nola's shoulder as she demos more stitches.I love her hair.

This is the work of Karen Durbin.The colors are great.The gold has been three colors so far.She is having a hard time picking a color she likes.
