A Day Early ~

Wishing you all a Blessed Easter Holiday ~

I will be spending the day with family and happily cooking and baking tomorrow, 

hence the early wishes to you!

Hopefully I can get in a little hooking too, 

( between courses of ham, sweet potato casserole and ricotta pie :)

I have been visiting the beautiful rug hook-ings of Annie Hayes

www.anniehayesrugs.com 

and thought these were appropriate for today's post ~

so I'm sharing them with you to admire…

her rugs just sing to me ~ 

her seemingly-unplanned colorways and talented use of scrap wools is evident in her subjects…

and of course, my favorite subjects of hers are her dear little animals ~

"Cape Cod Rabbit"

her subjects take on the importance in her rugs ~

using tweeds, textures and as-is wools to bring them to life.

"Red Leaf Rabbit"

simple backgrounds

nothing' fancy…

"Tweet"

tiny details are made almost accidentally,

almost missed but look closely and you won't miss a thing :)

"Rabbit in the Grass"

...bright colors, naive designs

wonky-loops…

perfect to me ~

"Scarlet Tanager"

mis-proportions, and fun accents bring her rugs a child-like quality

that I admire greatly…

"Rabbit with Floating Flowers"

I could look at them for hours…..

(and do!)

"September Rabbit"

I hope you all get a chance to visit her website and be tickled by her
