On the Frame ~


Finally getting around to showing what is on my frame.  Remember the rug I was trying to track down from a Create & Decorate magazine?  
 
 
One of my blog readers, Kathleen, (thanks again Kathleen!) let me know it was from the May/June 2014 issue.  Thankfully friend Melissa found her copy.  Here is the page from the magazine.
 
 
I wanted to hook mine with the similar soft colors I used in this rug.
 

Progress so far.  I am not putting in the scalloped clamshell corners and may change the shape of the pot a bit.  Still not sure on that.   

 
 A few more irises have started to bloom.  They are simply gorgeous.
 
 

 
Taking off tomorrow evening for California.  Wish me safe travels please :)  Not sure if I will get a blog post done while gone.  As I've often mentioned, my iPad and I don't play well together and the only time I try to blog from it is when I am away from home.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

    have fun on your trip to Cal. I'll be optimistic and look forward to a blog post. The iris photos in this and last post are GORGEOUS! I've never seen such beautiful ones - not around here anyway. I stopped the car last week in the mountains to look at some in a yard across from our rental condo. The pug reunion was cool - never seen a gray one either, maybe some frenchie in there? love your new rug ! btw - used my pickle fork at a weekend luncheon and got some great comments - I said YEP - from my talented friend Lauren at Rugs and Pugs! hugs Mel

    Another great rug. It was worth the search for the pattern. What cut are you using? Hope you are having fun in CA with your son!
