Tile All Done....Oh What a Day....

Well, all the tile in the kitchen and entry hall id done.I am so happy with how it turned out.We do what they call a cobblestone pattern and I really like it.Adam did a great job.
This was my part of the job.This is our entry hall in the back of the house.We use this door all the time.We live on Beaver Lake so I thought it would be fun to put a beaver in the tile.I can say one thing about mosaic work,it takes a lot of time.I was on my knees for about 4 hours.But, I really love how he turned out.

Here is a view of Beaver Lake this morning.We are having a beautiful day today and I hope you are too.
Live Deeply and go soak up some sun.

Rock Creek Hook-In in Lenexa Ks.

One week ago I found out I could be a vendor and the Rock Creek Hook-in so I have been working like crazy to get pins done.
I am working my little fingers to the bone.Most of the pins are needle felted.I wish I'd had a little more time to get things made but I will just do my best.
Little sheep,cats,bunnies and birds are piling up on my table.
Oh, I forgot about the monkeys.I love how they have turned out.I hope all you rug hookers are going to be at the big hook-in in Kansas.If you are there come by and say hi to me.
Just so you know, Adam has been on his knees some more and the tile is almost done.I am so happy to have this job done.
Live Deeply,

I Just Love A Man on His Knees at My Feet......

Ha! not what you were thinking was it? You thought, it being Valentine's Day weekend Adam was doing something romantic didn't you? Well I may be weird but this is the way to my HEART.He thinks I'm kidding when I tell him he is at his sexiest when he is covered in sawdust and grout or any other home improvement related stuff.
We have finally started on the tile in my kitchen.I would never say that I nagged......but I think I may have pouted,batted my eyes,hinted a little...well maybe a lot.What do you think,it's not to much to carry a box of tile up the stairs (snow covered stairs) and then lay them all around the kitchen floor at the same time as you run to the couch and sit by your sweet hubby, grab the laptop and look up tile patterns on the WWW. Would you say that was nagging? I didn't think so either.I will keep you posted as we get more done.
Scrappy Stars is all hooked now.I went to Jody's house today and her, Annie and I hooked.I got the last little bit done and now I just have to press and then do the edge.
Closeup of the stars.I did not use near enough of me worm stash so I will come up with another rug to hook with them.



Live Deeply and Happy Valentine's Day.
