~ Sunny Sunday Musings ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

can you smell that?

no, not the coffee brewing downstairs…

it's something else. something on the light breeze.

a familiar scent ~ could it be?

SPRING?

oh yes ~ it is coming!!

Sunday March 20th will ring in the Springtime ~ and this year I cannot wait.

not sure why the rush with me though, as I tend to favor the cooler months, not the heat.

Oh well I will embrace it!

As most of you are, I too am showing signs of Spring in my needlework;

in this case, more of my rug hooking ;)

here are a few Hook & Scissor Pockets I'm finishing up for the

Virginia Rug Fest on April 9th ~

{{click HERE for more info}}

these are just small little hooked pockets that I like to make ~ 

each one is lined & backed with cotton fabric in coordinating/contrasting colors.

the longer straps go across your front so the pocket kind of sits near your hip!

Hooking Holsters! 

HA!

I like this one especially, below…

I'm calling it

"the BEET goes on bag"

{sorry}

although it looks more like a turnip?

they aren't big, 

just a good size for your hook, scissors, punch needle, iPhone…

credit card & lipstick.

{what? those aren't your basic necessities?}

I need to finish lining them,

I'm hoping to hook a few more for the Rug Fest.

They're FUN!

Speaking of FUN ~

Yesterday was another wonderful day spent with Friends in the Shop ~

Pat, Robin & Joan visited & worked on their projects.

Pat, Robin & I hooked, Joan punched.

We laughed, talked, laughed, ate, hooked, punched, laughed & ate some more.

Robin brought along fresh veggies & cookies to snack on 

and she also gifted me with this beautiful purple Pansy.

***LOVE***

{you really should come on out on a Saturday & hang out with us & hook, 

~ or whatever you're working on…we do have a lot of fun.}

my Daffodils are up now about 10-12" and starting to show buds…

our entire back woods will be filled with them soon!

Roxy is feeling the Spring in the air too it seems ~

she is super-hyper and can't help but chase the deer in the woods & fields.

She isn't aggressive towards then, & I tend to think they humor her now.

They don't even run from her anymore, they just stand there then saunter-away…it's funny to watch :)

here she is with her 'baby' ~ a pig toy that snorts instead of squeaks.

it is disgusting & she lugs it around with her constantly…

*blech*

This morning, after I hung the laundry on the line 

~ I noticed how green our grass is already!

soon Peter will be revving up the lawn tractor for me 

and I will once again resume one of my favorite outdoor activities…

yes, I enjoy cutting the grass :)

 Here's my Farmer collecting fresh eggs before breakfast ~

Hi Pete!

Having friends over for dinner tonight ~

making sausage & meatballs with pasta…

oh & brownies. can't forget the brownies!

Hoping your day is filled with Spring-things 

& those who love you most!!
