The Day After

The tour is over. 

I had a successful weekend with lots of friends, new and repeat customers visiting.

 We missed the worst of the weather in the mountains with little to no ice on Sunday

 but most people came on Saturday.

 I did have a few brave souls who ventured out on Sunday to take home a couple of rugs,

 which was great.

To say that I am now very tired is an understatement. 

I am exhausted! I only have one special bird order to finish up and 

then I can take a break for the rest of the year. 

The house was decorated and the tree put up the weekend after Thanksgiving so I would not have to deal with it now. It was a lot of work to get the house and studio ready for the holidays and the tour at the same time but now I am glad it is done.

 I am so grateful for a patient, helpful and understanding husband 

who supports me in every way possible. 

It is now time for both of us to sit back and enjoy Christmas! 

 I do intend to start some new projects soon because the tour always inspires me. 

Before the tour I become tired and don’t want to make or weave anything else 

but now that it is over I am excited to get started again. 

The difference is now I get to make what I want to and not what I have to,

 at least for a little while, which will be a nice break. 

Pog and I both were so busy that we really didn't take many photos

 but here are a few of the ones we did take of the studio and the work. 

There are a lot of empty spaces now which is great!!

Most of the rugs found new homes.

Star of Bethlehem Dish Towels

Snowmen, ornaments, more dishtowels and mug rugs.

There were lots of wooly ornaments.

I hope everyone was safe, warm and snug at home during 

all the terrible weather in the country these past few days. 

I am looking forward now to snowy days at home stitching, weaving 

and maybe even a jigsaw puzzle or two!
