Brrrrrrrrr.....Baby it's Cold Outside

But that didn't keep us away.  As we pulled up to the snow covered Church I realized how pretty this scene was and how lucky I am to be part of this group.  The guild trickled in and we turned on the heat, started the coffee and got settled in to a day of hooking, eating (and eating and eating and eating) and talking (and talking and talking and talking).  What fun and how relaxing. We saw old faces and met some new ones.  We admired each other's projects and picked up new tips and tricks and shared some of our own.  We had great door prizes and some beautiful wool for sale - oh the colors - who can buy just one quarter????    I hope to see you again in February!!

Sue sent some pictures from the day - I will post more as I get them.....

Did I mention food?


I made kielbasa and sauerkraut in the crockpot and had a lot of requests for the recipe. Here it is:

2 kielbasas cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 bags of sauerkraut (32 oz each)
1 cup of apple cider
approx 2 TBS of sugar to sprinkle on top before cooking

Put it all in the crockpot and cook on low for at least 8 hours.

Enjoy!!

Wild Weather Update - Hook In is ON!

Enough of this snow - although it is very pretty.

The Hook in is on and scheduled to start at 10am.   Please give us some time to get the heat going and the coffee brewing.

Drive carefully and we'll see you tomorrow!!

Our Show is Featured in The Wool Street Journal - woo hoo!!

I am so excited to let everyone know that our show was featured in the January 2011 issue of The Wool Street Journal. ... If anyone has not read the WSJ yet, please order an issue and take a look.  It's not your typical magazine  - every issue is chock full of inspiring photos, patterns, line drawings, musings, instruction, guidance, great dye recipes, and words of wisdom from Bonnie herself.  It is a magazine I look forward to receiving and find something new every time I read, reread and read again. 

The January issue has a an article written by member Sarah McNamara - a very talented artist and blogger The Paisley Studio photos of the show taken by her daughter - another very talented artist -  Clara Jauquet.  Sarah and Clara captured the feeling of that magical weekend.  Just wait to you see!!

Thank you Bonnie and Tina for coming to the show and making it such a special weekend and thank you for featuring our show in your magazine.  You are truly a blessing.

What a fun weekend!! We had a wonderful time with the ladies from The Wool Street Journal and GWoolikers - they are a hoot and a ton of fun.


 I am so proud to be part of a guild that comes together the way we did for this show. Everyone participated in some way whether it was financially through dues support or by showing rugs, spending hours hanging rugs, picking up supplies or manning a table. It was great to see my friends and meet many more and finally have a face to match the names on my mailing lists. Thank you!

Some pictures for you to enjoy….

Our beautiful banner was made as a gift for us by Judy’s son. The pictures were taken by Sarah’s daughter Clara and my husband Ken.
