Julia, Julia. Wherefore art thou, Julia?

Julia ~ I'm still waiting for your contact information so I can mail your little kit :)
My first spring flowers are starting to bloom!  I am so excited.  By the time I took this picture this evening, the eranthis (winter aconite) were starting to close up for the night.
Soon my snowdrops will also be blooming.  Woo hoo!
As you can see, I will have lots of yard cleanup once our weather gets a little better.  My trees lose their leaves so late in the fall that I never get them cleaned up before winter.
It's already March 8, so I thought I'd share with you the progress I've made on my Maggie B rug.  If you recall, my goal is to get it hooked during the month of March.  Uh, oh.  I think I'm in BIG trouble :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

  4. Hi Lauren, Wow, I just checked my blog before going to bed and it's way pass my bed time . It's after midnight and I've been hooking feverishly for the past couple days at every available spare moment on my Grandmother 's Trunk Challenge rug and haven't been on the computer much.

    Thank you so much for this. I'll be waiting anxiously for your little kit to arrive.

    So glad that your spring flowers are already blooming. This is so awesome. Thanks again for this... Hugs Julia

  10. It's me again... I went back to an earlier posting that I somehow missed and I want to thank you Lauren again for this giveaway. I also want to thank all your followers who congratulated me but especially handsome Jake for picking my name from all the participants. A great big HUG to both of you and your pugs of course. Have a great week. Julia

    Lauren, I think your rug is going to be wonderful...i love the simplicity of it.

  13. Lauren, what a nice idea - doing a give away. Maybe someday I'll be confident enough and organized enough to do something similar! LOL! Still plugging away on that cardinal mat. I swear it's taking me forever to finish the background! And I'm worried that I'm going to run out of the wool for my background! Aaacckk!!! Loved your pictures! Your grandson is just too adorable!
