In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Tuesday Ripple

So, it's Tuesday ripple.....




and I have worked a bit on my ripple this week. I just had to see how it would look on our bed so far. I've discovered a random ripple can leave you wondering at times if you are going to like it or not.



After I put it on my bed I decided, yes, I do like it!

Thank goodness because these rows are loooonnnnggg......
What do you think?


Anyway....

Last Tuesday, we did not ripple.

Groovy Girl taught a couple of us how to make slippers. I showed you mine in my last post. L.O.V.E. Them!

The rest of our group prepared for a show in Camby, Indiana. We have some very talented people in our group.



These are rug hooking patterns that Granny Bee was working on. I think the Groovy Girl drew them, if I understood correctly, and G.B. traced them onto linen cloth to sell at the show. They were very cool Halloween pictures. I really liked them a lot, and I don't rug hook. I do have an Oxford punch though, which would probably also work.



Barb was working on a needle case....very Victorian looking. Love it.


She was also teaching us some sign language signals! I think we are going to be learning sign language. I hope everyone practiced last weeks lesson.



And Kathy was making some "pennies"....I think that's what they are called.

The Groovy Girl showed off the wrist band she made. I'm sure she'll wear it tonight, when she watches Sons of Anarchy, with a Miller light in one hand, her wrist band in the other....don't even think about calling her during this time. I have never watched it, and she says since I've missed the first four seasons I probably wouldn't get it. Oh well....I'm not really an anarchy kind of person anyway. I mean, I want a skull wrist band too, but I want a pink one! And speaking of anarchy, our group name is now Groovy Girls of Anarchy. The voting was all very dramatic with three and three tied up, but "K"s vote changed the tie. Good thing she showed up



and of course, she had her bag all done she was working on a couple of weeks ago. Pretty cool huh?

Just a couple of short years ago, Miss Maple was a happy tree and the subject of a lot of blog 'gossip'
