Grinning Jack



Photobucket
                                               (These are the wools I'm using)


I started working on this small oval mat a couple of nights ago.  It's small (12 1/2 inches by 9) so it's going quickly.  You may recall seeing this pattern on my blog before.  I designed it two years ago and did the pumpkin in white.


I think this pattern could be done up in any number of different colors and could be fun!  Maybe a purple pumpkin!  If anyone's interested I could draw one up  on linen for you for 20 dollars.  That would include shipping anywhere in the states. (email me:    antcathy@charter.net)  I'll send a Paypal invoice to you.

I'm waiting for a shipment of wool from Heaven's to Betsy!  Should be here in the next couple of days!  Fall is a comin' and I'm  starting to get ready for my next class at the Tech. School.  Starts the first Thurs. in Oct.  I haven't decided on the project for the students yet but have an idea floating around in thee ol' noggin!  I do have punkins on the brain.....  and times getting away!  So much work to do! 
But I'll Git er done!!!!

    Your Jack would evoke a big grin every time you looked at him. But man, I am so not ready to think of fall yet!!! I know that summer is winding down, and it happens every year LOL, but it still doesn't mean I have to like it!! I do admire those of you who plan and "hook" ahead.

    Love your new blog header! Lovely! Yes, I'm glad autumn will be here soon. Couldn't wait for summer this winter, and now that it's summer, can't wait for fall!

    Hi Cathy,
    Speaking of pumpkins, I am just starting the Autumn Trio and will post the progress on my blog. Can summer be almost over so soon?

    blessings always,

    Jack is just darling. You are right, such a sweet little pattern could be hooked so many different ways.
