News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

If you get the chance, I highly recommend any Rug Hooking Retreat.  The chance to relax and share with like minded people, lots of belly laughs, does the soul good!  In addition, all meals provided and all we had to do was relax and enjoy.

I spent the past week at one such Rug Hooking retreat with a wonderful group of people.  Got inspired by all of the lovely work, made new friends and yes, laughed so hard, I wet my pants!  The above picture is everyone's work for the week,...

I think the weekend before Valentines AND having football is a conundrum.  Just my opinion, maybe couples plan to do something special on the actual 14th but if children are involved, getting a sitter on the weekend for me was always easier.  I hope you can show love all around you and not just on Valentines but it is a good excuse or reminder to be extra kind to those you love.  As to football?

I made an apple pie yesterday, the apples were still frozen so I left my rolled out dough on my island and went down stairs to do something else.  When I returned, you can see the above picture what I came back to. Clear evidence that 'someone' had been there.  When something unexpected occurs, how do you handle it?  Do you get upset?  Do you just smile and move on?  Do you grab a picture and share? Do you repeat to yourself, I love my cat, I love my...
