Sometimes I feel I should post more. But sometimes I just don't have much to say. Some of the blogs I follow post almost every day. I'd like to come up with a catchy same-day-of-the-week-post like Whatcha Doin' Wednesday, Teacup Tuesday or Freebie Friday or something on those lines that I see on other blogs, but have yet to come up with something snappy like that. I know I would have more followers if I posted more. So as of today, I'll be posting more. About what, I'm not sure.
I'm working on finishing 2 of my rugs which I've entered in the Kentucky State Fair (see my previous post). I enjoy rug hooking very much. It's a very creative outlet for me. I create my own designs and then draw them on the linen. I pretty much do that with everything I work on - stitcheries, wool felt, penny rugs, etc. - I may have a pattern to go by, but I usually adapt it for what I need or what I like and rarely use the pattern to actually draw it on the medium I'm working with. I'm continually flying by the seat of my pants!!
I have several craft shows coming up this fall and into November. I need to get busy making my items to sell. I've been in a slump lately. This hot weather we've been having FOREVER has really been taking its toll on me. I come home and should get busy working on new items to sell, but instead I sit on the couch in potato mode until it's time to go to bed. But first, I have to finish the two rugs I'm hooking as they'll be due at the Fair August 14th for the competition. So I guess I'd better leave this post and get busy hooking. I'll post a picture of the table runner I'm hooking as soon as I have it finished which should be in a few days.
Try to stay cool this weekend if it's hot where you are. The heat index was 105 degrees here today... :(

I agree with how you feel - it's hot and hard to get motivated. I love to hook and stitch while vegging in front of the tv. Thanks for sharing! SUE
Hi Sharon..Am out blogging tonight!
Saw your post about people who blog every day and always have lots to say, but I'm one of the lesser bloggers! Try to blog several times a week, but don't always make it.
I know about the heat..here in Florida it has been hot! Today was cooler, because the tropical depression moved thru and it rained all day! I am a crafter, but have never done anything with rugs, felt etc, that you do. It's fascinating.
Stop by and visit me when you can.
Have a great week end and stay cool!
Smiles and Blessings,
Nancy
Don't worry about posting everyday - its quality, not quantity! LOL Sometimes its a struggle to pull together a post. At times I look back on my recents posts and they are more like ramblings!
I know what you mean - some days I feel like the only thing going through my mind is the sound of crickets chirping..... I've tried to keep a notebook that I jot down ideas as they come to me - that seems to help me - and I take my camera with me everywhere!!!
Good luck!!
