Our 29th Anniversary


Today is our 29th wedding anniversary. WOW!! the time flies by, it seems like just yesterday that we got married. My kids ask why did you get married in March? Because Tom is a farmer and after March he would be busy putting the crops in. LOL! This picture was taken when we were on a cruise last November.
We remembered to turn our clocks ahead for spring. It will take a little getting used to but, I love the time change.
Have a great day!!

Crocuses Blooming


The crocuses are blooming in my yard, when they appear it means spring is very near. They are so cute and there are hundreds of honey bees on them. Today it is raining, hopefully it doesn't rain alot.
I have been hooking a rug that someone ordered from me. I'm very close to getting it done. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Remember to change your clocks and spring ahead!!

Feather Your Nest Hooked Rug


I am very happy that March is here, we're getting closer to spring. I just finished this rug today. The design is With Thy Needle & Thread. I had ran out of the background wool but, last night was hooking at Katie's and she had the wool I needed. Now what to hook next. Hope everyone has a great evening!

1840 Rabbit Hooked Rug


I just watched the weather, more snow~just what we need!! I don't mind but, Lindsay is supposed to come home for the weekend. I worry about her driving in the snow, she doesn't care. She does have a SUV, I'm just a mom though.
I finished this rug today. It's the first rabbit I've ever hooked, don't know why I just haven't. I really like the way it turned out. The background is like Lumberjack, don't know what it's called though. I used 5 different wools in the pot and dyed them a primitive gold. The pattern is from Need'l Love Meadow Threads Book.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

A Little Sunshine Is Nice


We're getting a little break, the sun is shining. The weathermen have been calling for more snow. This morning they changed it to rain, what a mess that will be.
Last Tuesday I got a colonoscopy. I'm SOOOO glad it's done and over!!!! Drinking that stuff for the prep was so bad!! I held my nose and chased it down with diet Sierra Mist. I did have a 1 polyp and the Dr. removed it, everything else was good. He said see you in 3 years, I said how about 10 years. LOL!!!
I have been hooking this week and just finished this rug. I listed it on Ebay today. This rug was fun to hook. It is a Brenda Gervais~With Thy Needle & Thread Punchneedle design I hooked. I really like all the detail, hooking doesn't get boring when you have the whole alphabet to hook. Yesterday, I went to Katie's to get wool, now I have enough wool to hook a couple rugs. Can't wait to get started.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
