If you have been watching the baseball games, wow, wow and wow.  Last nights game was the first I nearly watched until the end.  I'm sorry to hear this morning the Blue Jays lost.  They fought a good battle.  Now what will we do for entertainment?  November is here already!

Roadies on Road Trips

What did you do for your last week of October?  The leaves have fallen 'a lot'.  Do you decorate for Halloween?  I did this year.  I hope I have some goblins to visit on Halloween.  Last year I didn't have even one kid.  The above photo was taken in Tatamagouche on Saturday.  This house I thought was perfectly decorated.

I attended a hook-in on Monday with the Truro, Friday Friends.  It was a good time as usual.  Lots of rugs to inspire you.

Visiting Wool Shops & PEI Retreat

I own a wool shop but that doesn't mean I can't visit other wool shops.  Two very good wool shops I had the pleasure of visiting this week, Encompassing Designs (Mahone Bay) and River house (Petite Riviere) Studio's.  A group of us, including the Roadies, decided to venture down the south shore of Nova Scotia.  We stayed the night in Bridgewater and had a wonderful time.  We will have to make this an annual event.  Tons of laughter!

A few pictures from our adventure.
