Rid The Winter Blues

This winter has been a long one and my friend Diane and I had the last minute opportunity to attend a local rug hooking retreat called, 'Rid The Winter Blues' last week in Fredericton, NB.  It was exactly what we needed to forget about the cold weather.  It was a wonderful event, the food was great, the company was fantastic and we had lots of fun!  A few pictures below from the event.

I'm Back!

Wow, what a weekend!  I vended for the first time since my knee replacement 5 weeks ago and I was worried how well I'd make out and I can safely say, I'm going to be ok!

Hook-Ins and Retreats

It is that time of year again when the rug hookers are making plans for hook-ins, retreats and rug school.  The 'Roadies' are leaving for Rothesay, NB for a retreat this week.  I am not able to attend this year so I will miss it and all the gals.  Unfortunately it still looks like winter outside and temperatures are persisting to be cold.  I was the passenger going to New Glasgow yesterday and snapped the above photo.  The trees laden with snow and ice is always so pretty.
