Happy Easter ~



My Easter goodies around the house . . . 



Bunnies on the swing is my mom's creation . . . and the bunnies to the left are one of the few ceramic items I painted back in the 70's.



Vintage mache bunnies.


The extent of my vintage candy molds.


All vintage except for the sweet bunny gifted to me by friend Bobbie.


Papier mache eggs. 


All from Germany.


Another large German egg and the sweet bunny was from my mom.


The only milk glass Easter egg I have.


One of my absolute favorite items from my mom.




Happy Easter, dear friends.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Bunny Rugs ~

Just another quickie post to share the bunny rugs I have hooked.

Peter Rabbit, pattern by Baskets of Wool, Cammie Bruce.


Miss March Hare, paper pattern purchased from Winter Cottage Studio, Terri Leamer.  I doubled the size of the pattern.


A sweet little bunny I hooked in 2006.  Just a little drawing I did so you are welcome to copy him.  That is the extent of my drawing talent 😁


My take on the antique Dancing Bunnies. 


And finally, I don't consider this rug by Woolen Memories a bunny rug, but since there are a couple of bunnies I thought I would include it.  The bunny on the left appears darker because of shadows.


Thanks so much for stopping by.

Monday ~

 

Happy Monday to one and all.  Just popping in for a quick post.  Really don't have much to blog about today, but wanted to stop in for a minute.

Maria's Sheep is hooked, bound and labeled.  It will be turned it at our guild meeting this week ~ a door prize at our September hook-in.

Askew is coming along.  I am not one who hooks really big rugs, and for me, this is REALLY BIG.  I think I am nearing the half way finished mark.  I normally enjoy hooking mindless backgrounds, but I am starting to get B.O.R.E.D.  I may have to do a Saundra and start on a "plus one".

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Tipp City Throw Down ~

There was so much talent on display at the Tipp City hook in.  We had a throw down in the afternoon.  I probably missed pictures of a few of the rugs.  Sorry.  It is hard to take it all in.
























Another sweet wool applique.


I just completed another trip around the sun.  I am trying to figure out where the time has gone.  It is truly scary how quickly the years are passing.


My poor brother.  He was recovering so well from the open heart surgery.  Then he started developing "cysts" on the incision.  They were treating him for an infection, but things were not improving.  Home health care, wound doctor . . . today he had to have surgery for them to try to take care of the problem.  Not really sure of the issue.  I'm not sure they know.  Hopefully now he can really recover and get his life back to normal.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
