Soggy Tuesday Musings ~

April showers are back…

we had three glorious days of sunshine & warm temps.

I even cut the grass for the first time this year!

Daisy & Pinocchio look like they're waiting for something,

don't they?

...or in this case, some 'one' ~

these two are like big kittens in my sweet hubby's hands ~

they love him ~ he loves them.

uh-oh

{{guess I got caught snapping…}}

...hi honey!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...with all the work still that I have to do for this weekend's upcoming VA Rugfest,

I have been taking breaks from punching & hooking

to peruse these:

my new issues of

~ Romantic Homes & Jeanne d'Arc Living ~

...yes, I love them.

I have tired of the darker primitive look that I've kept for so very long

 and have been slowly changing things over to more lighter & more farmhouse/vintage-inspired.

I am loving this journey 

and love even more how this old farmhouse shines 

...with fresher, simpler things ~

this current issue of Jeanne d'Arc is drool-worthy!!

AND it features the home of one of my very favorite blog writer ~

Princess Green Eye

if you get a moment, check out her blog…

and click on the translate button!!

and here is my progress on the Rabbit Rug ~

you know, the one I'm hooking with those hand dyed velvets added-in?

the larger, more dark-colored spot on his side is the velvet…

the rest is wool.

I'm liking it so far,

but I reverse-hooked the border and outline

 three times before deciding on the pale blue wool…

his little tail is hand spun sheep's wool 

and I have to add the green carrot-top yet too ;)

yes, those are my slippers ~ it was early.

*yawn*

as soon as I get this finished {today} 

then I will get back to punching the 4th design in my Farmhouse Chores series ~

lots to do!!! 

busy as a bumbler-bee here and I wouldn't have it any other way ~

Have a beautifully-creative day my friends!!

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
