Lots Of Pictures

This is the last of the witches hook in pictures.
There was no throw down or rug show. Things were not the same this year our fearless leader had a lot going on. But still a great time was had by everyone. 

So fun...

Around here whenever you attend a hooking event you get a charm.
Each one is unique. 


Not sure if Jane hooked this or just showing it off but beautiful!



In my swap gift I got this!! Hooked by Jane in the previous picture!


When you signed in you each got a goodie basket and a hookie cookie. We painted these (there is also a pumpkin).

And speaking of painting when the 4 of us gather we always swap gifts. Bonnie painted a wine glass for each of us.


Donna painted a box for each of us



And because we were there to hook I did get a bit more done on my rug. 

And last night I hosted my women's group here at home. 
I made a large pot of soup and everyone brought something else to share. We had a hard frost last night so the warm food tasted good. 
And they brought gifts Sweet Sue felted a pumpkin for me. It has a heart on the bottom and Janice painted the pumpkins and made the ginger pears. 
So my heart is full, my blessings are many.

On another note I have a stye on my eye. I have never had one before and who knew they could be that painful??? Not much sleep last night I was up early putting a warm teabag on my eye. 
Well I am off to the post office I need to mail out my form for another hook in in January and mail some halloween cards. 
Have a wonderful week!!

I have to say I agree with Debbie. That looked like so much fun - where did you find the group?

That bag is the cat's meow! What a sweet swap gift you received. We had frost this morning. It sure was brisk going outside for work. Janice

Lots of fun and food...perfect Autumn get-togethers. The soup looks good...are you like me and make soup without a recipe?

I am so impressed by the hooking! There is a lot of talent shown here. The swap gifts are so sweet too.
I had a stye on my eye last year, had never had one before. Mine was painful too. I hope it heals up fast!

What great gifts. That pumpkin pocket you got is just plain old fun.
Prayers for your fearless leader.
You hosted the women's group again? You seem to do that so often. I bet a wonderful time was had by all.
I know nothing about a sty in the eye...but I hope it is gone quickly.

That looks like such a fun hook in and get together. Your soup looks a lot like how I make mine, always good on a cold night.

Your witchy hook-in looks like fun! I also love the gift swap you received. The Michelle Palmer hooked rug with the red-winged blackbirds is gorgeous!

Cathy, what a fun hooking get together and such wonderful creations from your talented group. I have enjoyed reading these posts while still catching up here at home from our recent trip. Hope your sty is relieved and I do recall having one myself many years ago. Does the teabag work?
