~ Sunday Morning Musings ~

~ Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ 

Happy Sunday!

a much-needed rain is falling this morning 

~ accompanied by the song of thunder rolling...

a beautiful sound to wake up to!

I wanted to show you the little hooked rug that Joan is working on,

it is a pattern from Ye Country Mercantile and is a horse with flowers ~

she wanted to keep the wools very subdued for a nice old look, 

and here she has hooked in a 'beauty line' 

~ to keep the horse from disappearing into the background

here she is, 

my happy little hooker! 

I'm working away on my 

'Feeding the Bees' cross stitch design... 

 my coreopsis is blooming!

I love this bright & cheerful flower...

Mr. Pinocchio has been enjoying the warm temps and sunshine lately...

 

but this morning it is raining and here he is getting a bath...

 

don't know if he loves the rain or hates it, 

but he always stands in it so I am assuming he is being refreshed by it 

{although he always makes a face like that...doesn't he look like Eeyore?}

that black ring-looking thing is a favorite toy of his and Daisy's

... an old tire!!

 Have a beautiful day my friends ~

Short & Sweet posting today ~

heading to town in a bit but wanted to share my progress with you on my Wool Witch rug...

I hookled all of the lettering using the same wool as I did to hook the sheep ~

i thought I would go with a much lighter, cream colored wool but pulled that all out.

see? things change & that's ok with me 

;)

I am using two different textured as-is wools in oatmeal colored tweed & heather

for the background behind our little friends,

and am almost finished filling that in ~

 

...then I will move on to the squared-off border surrounding that ~

I won't even begin to tell you what wools/colors I'll be hooking that with,

as my brain hasn't gotten that far yet!

In Other News ~

while at the Woolwright's hook in two weekend's ago, 

in my booth I displayed my 'Daisy' rug ~ 

which is a lot smaller than the rug that Kris Miller offers for us over on her  website...

and you can see her adaptation in the upper left of her booth photo below:

lots of folks wanted to know if either I or Kris had the pattern on linen for 

more the size I was displaying, so we asked Kris to work her magic and 

Voila' !!

this is what she has to say: 

We had several requests at the Woolwright's Hook-In two weeks ago for a smaller sized Daisy pattern that was more fitting with the sample Lori Brechlin had hanging in her booth. 

 I am happy to say that the new smaller size is now listed on the Spruce Ridge website!

Awesome!! Thank you Kris!

and hereis my Early Bird punch needle design that Kris has adapted for rug hooking and hooked ~

isn't this gorgeous??
