I met a fellow Blogger yesterday ! I have been following Rugs And Pugs Blog for years . Lauren does beautiful rug hooking and makes wonderful things she sells at a few Hook Ins . She contacted me a few days ago . She was coming to Western Massachusetts for a few days and wondered if we could meet . I told her I would Love to meet her and take her to see Woolen Memories rug hooking shop and meet Sandy Miarecki . We had such a good time at Sandy's wonderful shop. We looked at all her great patterns , and checked out all her beautiful wools . We spent two hours there chatting away . It was such a good time .
Her is a picture of Sandy and Lauren in Sandy's Great shop , Woolen Memories

It was just fun sharing stories about hooking and people we know .
The last picture is a challenge design by Saundra Porter who also has a blog I have followed as long as Lauren's . Saundra Porter's Blog is called Woodland Junction. We always leave comments on each other posts. She chose this nice antique pattern for any of her followers to hook and send pictures of our progress. I hope to start this design soon and put in on a bench that my husband makes . I better get busy !!!
Wish I was the traveler that Lauren is so I could meet other bloggers. Heck, even Lauren and I have never met. But maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask Lauren if you have ever met ...hope you do some day too !
DeleteWow Lauren's hair has gotten long. So glad you met we met a few years ago. I love Sandi's rugs I have hooked a few of her patterns.

Lauren is so nice , I could have spent more time with her !! Being at Sandy's and seeing her rugs in person , you just want to hook them all !!!
Deletefun day! jealous...what a wonderful way to spend time.
ReplyDeleteNancy I like how you drew the pattern, you simplified it a lot! I just put mine on linen today, wont get to it til the weekend.
Will you be at Salem Crofts this year ? Since it could be the last time , a few of us are going .
DeleteIt was so nice meeting you, Nancy. Thank you so much for taking me to Sandy’s delightful shop. It would be worth another trip to western Massachusetts to go there again, but just a bit far…lol.
ReplyDeleteGet busy hooking 😊
Hopefully you can come back to visit again Lauren !!! Was such a treat to meet you and your very special gifts , I will treasure ! And to meet the Famous Ernesteen !!!
DeleteAhhh...there's the elusive Lauren! So glad to finally see photos of her - and of you. Lucky you to get to actually meet some blog buddies in person. Looking forward to seeing everyone's choices and progress on Saundra's hook along.
ReplyDeleteIt was a treat to meet Lauren !!! Hope you can join this project too !
ReplyDeleteI met Lauren at an antique show years ago she vended along with my hubby and I. She is such a sweetie. Hopefully when I retire, I can visit her as she is a few hours away from me. Lucky you to live so close to a wool store. Wish I did. Janice
ReplyDeleteIt can be dangerous living close to Sandy's !!! She just got a new order of wool and I feel like i need to check it out too !!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLauren makes really nice things !
Thank you for the kind words, Nancy.
DeleteLiving that close to Sandy's wonderful shop could be VERY costly!!!
