Late to the Dance ~

Saundra (Woodland Junction) decided to have yet another hook-along, and with the upcoming Easter holiday, she thought a bunny rug would be apropos.  Now I am not sure what rabbits have to do with Easter, but the antique rug Dancing Bunnies was chosen.  So many antique adaptations are being hooked, and you can follow along here.

I hooked Dancing Bunnies last year, so thought I would sit this one out.

Won't Saundra be surprised when she reads this post and sees that I decided to participate?  After seeing all the wonderful interpretations of the rug on her blog, I was feeling a bit left out 😢 Here is my progress so far.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Randy's Snowsuit ~

Randy's snowsuit looked a little too light compared to the rest of the rug, so rather than reverse hook, I coffee stained it.  I think it toned it down just enough.  Now I am undecided if I need to tone down the flesh colors of their heads.  Thoughts?

My Granny Donaldson cow blanket rug is D.O.N.E.  I can't believe I have two hooking finishes done in less that a week.  (We are not going to talk about binding . . . ugh.)

A big thank you to Saundra for putting together this hook-along.  I think all the participants have enjoyed the journey.  I know I didn't have to whine like I did for last year's challenge hooking with alternative fibers/using what was on hand.  I found this truly enjoyable.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Groundhog Day ~

Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter . . . and it is already starting this evening.  It had been raining all day and has now changed to snow.  The good news is that the rain has melted most of our existing snow.  The bad news is that it will freeze and we are expecting 8" - 12" of that white stuff on top of it.  

My little snowdrops which can now be seen will once again be buried.  Thankfully they are very resilient!

I am moving along on my Granny Donaldson rug.  What a fun hook.
                 

Be sure to stop to stop by Saundra's blog to check out more Granny D rugs in the hook-along.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
