Hello Friends & Folk!
seems like we have an 'extra' day today, doesn't it??
Yay for Leap Day!
not quite February, still - not March….
but I'll take an extra day anytime ~ how about you?
Yesterday was a wonderful day.
We enjoyed sunshine & warm temps all day & into the evening...
~ hung 4 loads of fresh laundry on the line to dry in the breeze & sun ~
cleaned up a little in our front yard, pulled a few dead branches & leaves
~ and noticed our daffodils are up about 10"!!
We even heard the Peepers out last night in the woods! {peepers are tree frogs}
They are out early this year :)
We then went out for dinner to Red Lobster {my fav} with friends Joan & Art
to celebrate my 53rd trip around the Sun…
good friends + good food = great times
*** Thank you SO MUCH for all of your Happy Birthday Wishes ***
from Family & Friends xoxox
I enjoyed finishing my rabbit rug too ~
{and Nancy B. if you're reading this I cannot remember what you called it!}
Peter made me yet another purple hook for my birthday ~
this is one of his Ergo hooks with Steel shank & aluminum ferrule.
{we will be offering more steel shank hooks soon}
since I have arthritis in my hands,
it's best for me to switch out my hooks,
… so I like to work between a Pencil style handle & an Ergo one.
I also like to wear my hooks around my neck,
so Peter drills holes in the handles for me to I can thread ribbon through to wear ~
I have my edges turn & pinned back,
now I'm whip stitching then will add a binding of some-sort…
I will need to hook in a 'beauty line' around my rabbit though,
~ because he is fading into the background too much.
though I'm not sure what color wool,
… perhaps a rusty red?
then I'll add green ribbon to the carrot. yep. I will ~
{I'll show you photos of the finish-finish.}
not even done with this one & I've already got more wools picked out for the next one!
& I know you do the very same thing, don't you?
onto the next!!!!!
maybe another hooked purse?
pillow perhaps? tote? Hmmmm…..
I KNOW!!!!
I'll use my 'extra day' today
to peruse Pinterest for INSPIRATION!
{well, after today's chores are finished of course…}
In the meantime,
Here is a little gift from me to you:
Another freebie to THANK YOU for your friendship & support of what we do here….
Please feel free to hook, punch, stitch, appliqué or paint this design to your heart's content.
I ask only that you give credit back to us here for the actual design :)
