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.

Why did it Take so Long?

~ HAPPY LEAP DAY ~

Geez.  I just don't know why it took so long to hook this sweet little sheep mat I have named Maria's Sheep?  It took a week to go from this . . . 

. . . to this.  The pattern is only 11" x 13"!!!

We are back to cold temps for a couple of days, then back to very spring like weather.  The winter aconite are blooming like crazy.  This was a couple days ago with warmer temperatures.

Today the snowdrops and aconite have closed their buds it only being 28*.

Daffodils are budding.  I cut the buds when they are just a few inches high.  Cut as close to the ground as you can.  It is amazing how much they will continue to grow once placed in water.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
