In like a lion


Well, yesturday morning March roared in like a lion. So I'm hoping that the old adage holds true and it goes out like a lamb! I woke at 6:30am to the sound of freezing ice pellets driving into the side of the house. Brrrrrr! But fortunately it cleared up some by lunch time.

It has been a busy week so far. In fact, when I woke up this morning I was positive it was Thursday. After dressing and going downstairs for coffee and the newspaper, I was seriously ticked off to see the date on the paper said TUESDAY! How could that be?????? I guess it just goes to show you what a busy day Monday was! lol
However, I have been on a roll with my hooking. I finished hooking the birdhouse rug last night and as soon as I finish this post I will begin binding up the backing. I love how it turned out. AND I didn't buy any new wool! Woohoo - a first for me. All of these colors were custom dyed by Momz Wool . My Olympic inspired gold background is Strong Yellow Gold, the leaves are Aquarius and the roof/post wood and red berries came from a beautiful transitional dye that Corinne was experimenting with. And the stems on the leaves are from gorgeous yarn I purchased from Jen at Fish Eye Rugs last fall. Love it.......
Well, gotta run and get this rug bound. The next project is calling me ---a fun beach inspired rug.

  2. The birdhouse rug is so sweet. I love that you made it without buying wool. Doesn't it feel great to use up stash,(so you can buy more).
    Looking forward to seeing your next project.

  4. I love the Aquarius, and as I didn't cut/hook any myself I can finally get to see the color in production.

    I was surpised that Aquarius was in those leaves, nice work. And those dirty colors did come in handy. ;-)
