1906 Heart & Hand Rug ♥


We've had another beautiful day in Ohio. I have been hooking all day, I wanted to finish this rug. Last night was hooking at Katie's so I was able to buy a couple pieces of wool to finish the rug. I love the way it turned out!! It's another With Thy Needle & Thread design.
My perennials are really coming up in my flower beds. I want to get out and divide and move some things around. I've started alot of seeds and they are growing well. I hope to post some pictures. Have a great day!!

Happy Easter!!


We've had great weather in Ohio. Today there was high wind warnings though, I thought we were going to blow away. Our electric was out for a few hours. Thursday I mowed for the first time, it was so nice being outside in the fresh air.
I finished this rug on listed it on Ebay tonight. The design is from With Thy Needle & Thread, I changed the pattern a little.
Tommorrow we are going up to my mom and dad's house for Easter. Hope everyone has a nice Easter Sunday.

Finally Finished A Patriotic Rug


Ahh Spring!! It's here but, we had 3 inches of snow last night. The sun is shining and the snow is melting fast. I have been cleaning the leaves and debris out of my flower beds. I noticed the weeds are starting to grow also.
Today I finally finished this rug. It seemed to take FOREVER to finish. I didn't have enough wool that I wanted to use for the background. I ended up mixing a couple different wools, which turns out better anyways. I'm going to list it on Ebay tonight. The pattern is a With Thy Needle & Thread Country Stitiches.
This week was busy. Lindsay left at the beginning of the week for Panama City Florida for spring break. I switched cars with her because my car is new. I didn't want to worry about 4 girls broke down on the side of the highway. The girls got down there and the will be coming back Sunday. Tom's birthday was this week also. So I did alot of baking and cooked alot this week. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The weather looks good in Ohio. You never know if it's going to snow on St. Patrick's Day. My husband's family is Irish, they left during the potato famine. They were from Tipperary Co. hopefully someday we can visit. I don't know if I will ever get Tom to go because of the very long flight over there. We had a hard enough time going to Puerto Rico. LOL! Hope everyone has a great day!!

Crocuses In Full Bloom


I really appreciate all your nice comments in my anniversary post!!

I went outside today and couldn't believe how many crocuses were blooming. I just can't resist those cute little flowers. This is the most I've ever had blooming. We don't use lawn chemicals so, each year they have increased.
Hopefully, I can get hooking a rug. I have taken a couple days off from hooking. I've been doing some much needed spring cleaning. Hope everyone has a great evening!
